Focus: Increasing efficiency in district energy with CALPEX PUR-KING

The efficiency of district heating supply is also influenced by the choice of the right piping system. With CALPEX PUR-KING, BRUGG Pipes offers a solution that has been setting standards for years: According to DTI tests, this flexible, pre-insulated PEX piping system achieves the lowest lambda value among the piping systems tested and is therefore characterized by particularly low heat losses.

Consecutive test winner for high energy efficiency

CALPEX PUR-KING has been named the winner in DTI tests several times in succession. The tested insulation performance confirms the high performance of the PUR thermal insulation. With a thermal conductivity of λ = 0.0199 W/(m·K) at 122 °F (50 °C), the piping system achieves a particularly low value. The high-performance thermal insulation reduces heat losses and thus contributes to energy efficiency in district and local heating networks. Lower heat losses can also reduce operating costs.

Long-term efficiency improvements in district heating networks

The high insulation performance of CALPEX PUR-KING offers network operators, engineers, and installers benefits for the long-term operation of heating networks:

  • Reduction of heat losses
  • Contribution to increasing the overall efficiency of district heating networks
  • Potential reduction in operating costs through lower heat losses

 

Typical applications

  • Local and district heating supply 
  • Neighborhood heating solutions 
  • Building-to-building connections

 

With CALPEX PUR-KING, you choose a multiple award-winning, pre-insulated PEX piping system whose high insulation performance contributes to efficient heat supply.
