Thermo Pipe Properties

Inlet unit

The air is passed into the ground-air heat exchanger through an air inlet tower. The air is filtered by either a coarse or fine filter to BS EN 779, eliminating dust and pollen.

Thermo pipe system

AWADUKT Thermo pipes have been specially developed to meet the requirements of ground-air heat exchanger systems. Highly efficient, hygienic, reliable in terms of leakproofness and condensation discharge - the pipe range features many of the attributes required of a ground-air heat exchanger by VDI 4640, the German guidelines on ground-source energy. AWADUKT Thermo pipes are also low maintenance. Once installed, the pipes can be high-pressure cleaned and inspected by camera.

Solid walled polypropylene (PP) pipe

This optimised PP pipe with enhanced heat conductivity provides excellent heat transfer between the ground and the air, thereby ensuring a high degree of thermal efficiency.

Antimicrobial inner layer

AWADUKT Thermo pipes feature an inner layer unique amongst ground-air heat exchanger pipes. This is achieved by a special process that incorporates silver particles into the inner layer of the base polymer.The result is that the fresh air inside the system is hygienic, containing virtually no germs.

High longitudinal rigidity

The high longitudinal rigidity of AWADUKT Thermo pipes prevents sagging, so that condensation is safely discharged instead of forming puddles at the lowest points. Pipes with inadequate longitudinal rigidity are not to be recommended for ground-air heat exchangers.
