Solar piping

The precisely fitting and ready-to-install components guarantee moderate installation costs and very low operating costs due to simple assembly and long maintenance-free use. This makes the reliable HYDRA solar connectors the preferred choice for OEMs and the installation trade in this market segment.

Areas of Use

Flexible connections between the individual solar panels and the solar equipment piping.

Versions

• Temperature range -20 °C to +250 °C
• Absorption of movement in all directions (axial, lateral and angular)
• Guaranteed alternation of load (min. 10,000 stress cycles)
• Compensation of installation inaccuracies
• Suitable for any application (pressurised and unpressurised systems, major installations, individual panels)
• Connections on standard copper piping

Advantages

• Easy installation without the need for specific knowledge or special tools
• Pre-finished and ready-to-install
• Long-living and extensively maintenance-free operation
• Collectors suitable for close, upright installation
• Compact and inexpensive design
• Fewer sealing points

More performance in less space

Compared to conventional, flat-surface designed models, the corrugated hoses offer a significantly enlarged surface with up to 50 % more performance and corresponding high efficiency. Such high-performance, compact and light exchangers can be installed even in very confined spaces.

Temperature transfer due to optimised flow

The corrugations cause a turbulent flow inside the hose, which has an intensifying effect on the heat transfer. In contrastto laminar flow, a mixing of the temperature layers takes place and the fl ow speed decreases in the middle of the hose. Both effects increase the heat exchange performance signifi cantly.

Targeted turbulences for preventing deposits

Targeted turbulences result from the corrugated profile, which evenly mixes the fl owing medium. As a result, calcium deposits are prevented, which enables constant performance throughout the entire service life.

Client-specific designs

As a manufacturer, Witzenmann is able to design and manufacture coiled hoses and housings as a system. The systems are customised to meet the most varied customer requirements and applications. The heat exchangers are scalable in length and can be fitted with metal or plastic housings as well as with the most varied connections.

Characteristics and areas of use

HYDRA expansion joints for gas applications ensure stressfree and safe pipe installation. They absorb system vibrations and movements and thus protect the piping network against damage. Axial expansion joints for gas applications reduce structure-borne sound transmission over the pipeline and avoid vibration and oscillation transmission.

Examples for areas of use

• Drying stoves, gas engines, gas control systems: The absorption of thermal expansion ensures the trouble-free operation of machines
• Gas supply lines or burner supply lines (gas and air): Here, vibrations occurring on all sides are compensated thus ensuring safe and continuous operation.
• Reduction of force and torque transmission in the area of the connection fi ttings

Design and technical data

The expansion joint consists of a multilayered stainless steel bellows. Depending on the relevant case of operation, the bellows is available in the stainless steel materials 1.4571, 1.4541 or 1.4404. The expansion joints are delivered prefinished and assembled with the necessary connectors. The product range includes axial expansion joints with the most current connection fi ttings up to nominal diameter of DN 100.

Quality

HYDRA expansion joints are approved by the DVGW in accordance with DIN EN 30681 for use in the gas industry. Millions of these expansion joints have proven their absolute safety and reliability in practice. HYDRA expansion joints according to DIN EN 30681 with DVGW approval are available in the following nominal diameters:

• Axial expansion joints: DN 15 to DN 500
• Universal expansion joints: DN 150 to DN 500
• Angular expansion joints: DN 50 to DN 500
• Lateral expansion joints: DN 50 to DN 500

Residential Building Ventilation

Modern buildings which are equipped with efficient energy generators and automatic control engineering require controlled room air ventilation due to the high tightness of the construction. This enables targeted air exchange in living areas to guarantee comfort and well-being and extract energy from the exchanged room air.

Flat Duct System

The small duct component program enables flexible, space-saving assembly in walls, floors, and ceilings. The range of dimensions and designs has been selected so that very good adjustment to the required air volumes is obtained and zeta values/current losses are as low as possible.
