Insulated copper pipe is a copper tube covered with a layer of foam (like polyethylene) or rigid foam insulation, designed to maintain fluid temperature, prevent heat loss/gain, and stop condensation, making it highly efficient for HVAC (air conditioning, refrigeration), hot/cold water systems, and geothermal applications. This pre-insulated pipe saves installation time and provides protection against physical damage, UV rays, and corrosion, improving energy efficiency and system performance.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Energy Efficiency: Reduces heat transfer, keeping cold refrigerants cold and hot water hot, leading to lower energy bills.
- Condensation Prevention: The insulation prevents moisture from forming on cold pipes, protecting surrounding structures from water damage.
- Durability: The outer layer protects the copper from corrosion, UV light, and physical impact.
- Ease of Installation: Pre-insulated pipes (including twin pipes for A/C) simplify installation, saving labor costs.
- Versatility: Used in split A/C units, VRF/VRV systems, district heating, and geothermal loops.
Applications:
- HVAC & Refrigeration: For refrigerant lines in air conditioners and heat pumps.
- Plumbing: Hot and cold water supply lines in residential and commercial buildings.
- Industrial: Transporting fluids in industrial settings.
- Geothermal: Used in ground-source heat pump systems.
