GREENTHERM

GREENTHERM

Used for 25 years in the distribution of hot and cold water, the GREENTHERM polypropylene random system offers physical-mechanical characteristics of absolute reliability. The GREENTHERM range of Bampi offers diameters of 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 75, 90 and 110 mm. with 4 different types of pipes compatible with a single range of welded fittings:

  • GREENTHERM SDR 6 single layer (green color)
  • GREENTHERM SDR 7.4 FASER 3-layer (green color)
  • GREENTHERM SDR 7.4 FASER UV Resistance 3 layers (black color)
  • POLO-KLIMA SDR 11 with 5-layer mineral fibers (blue color with green lines) – ATTENTION: this type of pipe is not suitable for the transport of drinking water

La gamma GREENTHERM è supportata da una serie di ACCESSORI e ATTREZZATURE per la corretta posa a regola d’arte.

Application

System for the water supply of sanitary systems, heating and cooling systems compliant with UNI 9182: 2014 in force in Italy for the design, installation and testing of cold and hot water supply systems. Furthermore, with the PP-R system it is possible to create air conditioning, irrigation, geothermal and compressed air systems. The GREENTHERM system is suitable for plumbing and heating distribution networks in residential, industrial and commercial, public and hospitality buildings such as hospitals, retirement homes and nursing homes, hotels, schools, places of worship.

Design instructions

For the correct design of a plumbing and heating distribution network with the use of the polypropylene random system GREENTHERM, knowing the available flow rate and the length to be covered, the following factors should be considered: 

  • Loss of pressure in the pipes 
  • Pressure drops of the fittings 
  • Variations in piping length 
  • Any coating thickness of the pipe

Installation method

Quick system to be installed by means of a joint with heat sealing to be carried out with special equipment, at the temperatures and with the times indicated in the technical instructions for use. The fittings can be provided with a brass insert directly incorporated in the hot forging phase

Special conditions

PP-R pipes can be insulated by a professional installer with external insulation for all those uses where it is necessary to minimize winter and summer heat loss. In heating, plumbing and sanitary systems and for the transport of chilled water, to avoid condensation phenomena it is necessary to consult the thermo-technical designer for the calculation of suitable insulation thicknesses based on the laying and operating conditions specifically provided for.

Operating characteristics and performance

What is the meaning of the SDR abbreviation with which the PP-R pipe is classified? SDR (Standard Dimension Ratio) identifies the “standard dimensional ratio” that is a method for evaluating the durability of a pipe with respect to pressure. The standard size ratio describes the correlation between pipe size and pipe wall thickness.
