Our pipes

Traditionally polyurethane foam insulation has been used as a method of insulation due to its apparent low cost of implementation. However, its efficiency declines during the first years of implementation. This leads to increasing evaporation rates,
mainly due to:

  • Degradation of the material under extreme indoor/outdoor temperature changes.
  • Degradation due to the effects of thermal expansion and compression of the pipe.
  • Exposure of the process piping due to moisture condensation in cracks or joint defects due to changes in the direction of pipe travel and/or flow diversions. (This will also lead to the formation of ice on the surface).

You may not notice the variations in evaporation rate on a day-to-day basis, but as the years go by and when compared to the initial properties of the system, the process fluid consumption required to maintain the same level of production will get higher and higher.

Advantages of vacuum-jacketed piping

  • Significant reduction in thermal losses caused by heat leakage.
  • Rapid return on investment in the installation of new vacuum-jacketed piping.
  • Long service life:
  • Virtually no decrease in thermal performance of vacuum jacketed pipe for 10 - 15 years.
  • Stainless steel construction allows for intensive use depending on the design time.
  • Low maintenance cost, limited to visual integrity inspection based on plant inspection program or monitoring of pressure or temperature gauges in piping systems with monitoring elements. Vacuum check and O-ring replacement are both recommended after 10 - 15 years of service.
  • The significant reduction in weight and volume versus a polyurethane foam jacket alternative means savings on transportation costs, reductions in design space and simplified field installation.
  • Vacuum piping also acts has significant safety advantages. The outer jacket of the vacuum pipe serves as a containment system in case of leakage to the outside of the process pipe.
  • In case a segment needs to be replaced, the modular design allows for quick replacement, since the detection of the failure is immediate, as well as the replacement with another prefabricated segment.
