Pre-insulated Plastic Piping Systems

Make your cooling circuit more efficient with robust pre-insulated plastic piping systems. COOL-FIT is an innovative piping system including pipes, fittings, valves, flexible hoses, and tools, aimed at ensuring complete system integrity. Designed and optimized for fast and easy installation and expected to provide at least 25 years of operations with zero interruptions and maintenance. The reliable and efficient alternative to post-insulated metal piping systems.

Benefits

Extreme Efficiency

The high-grade pre-insulation improves the thermal energy efficiency of COOL-FIT by 30% compared to post-insulated metal piping systems. The system's integrity mantains a perfectly sealed cooling circuit and prevents energy loss. 

Confident Insulation

Robust build pre-insulated pipes, fittings, valves, and flexible hoses vapor sealed with rigid, closed-cell insulation foam and sealing lip. The highly resistant HDPE outer jacket protects the insulation foam and provides an additional layer of insulation.  

Extreme Reliability

Thanks to its material properties, COOL-FIT is condensation and corrosion-free, and longer-lasting than metal alternatives. Also, incrustation is no longer a problem, contributing to maintenance-free operations with a minimum lifespan of 25 years.

Confident Installation

COOL-FIT weighs 60% less than post-insulated steel or copper systems. The simple electrofusion jointing reduces installation time by 50%. Single-person installs are possible and installations in confined spaces are easy.

3-in-1 Concept

Media Pipe

The medium carrying PE100 inner pipe material ensures corrosion and incrustation-free operations. The system is available in dimensions from d16 up to d450 and can resist pressure up to 16bar (at a media temperature of 20°C).

Insulation

Depending on the COOL-FIT system, the nominal GF HE  insulation foam thickness is 20mm or 40mm. The insulation supports reliable temperature conditions from -50°C up to +60°C.

Pipe Jacket

The HDPE jacket of the COOL-FIT pipes makes the piping system very robust, protecting the GF HE insulation foam and providing an extra layer of insulation.

Installation

Installing COOL-FIT pipes, fittings and valves is fast and easy thanks to the pre-insulated system components and the electrofusion technology. The installation process takes only a few minutes and the MSA welding equipment from GF Piping Systems facilitates a secure connection.

1. Welding wires and electrofusion unit

Designed for fast and easy installation, COOL-FIT uses the electrofusion technology, where fittings are swiftly heated by electric current, metling and fusing the surrounding material for a secure connection.

2. Welding indicator and welding code

The welding code can be scanned and helps with a guided and tracked welding process. For optic or haptic inspection after welding, the welding indicator moves out automatically after successful welding.

3. Pipes and fitting with sealing lip

For fast installation, COOL-FIT pipes are delivered in 5m bars (for d16 - d225), which are already stripped and peeled for instant electrofusion. The pre-insulated fittings with sealing-lip ensure a vapour sealed piping system.

4. Fixation

For securing against dislocation during the installation process, the components need to be fixed with appropriate clamping or the GF Piping Systems' fixation tool.

5. COOL-FIT Weld-in port

The COOL-FIT Weld-in port enhances the capabilities of the COOL-FIT piping system by simplifiying the installation of additional sensors and branches across multiple pipe sizes. Ideal for new and retrofit projects.

  • Flexible planning - Easier project planning due to significantly increased flexibility with saddle solution.
  • Efficient installation - Fast and easy installation in just 15 minutes, thereby reducing on-site work and labor costs.
  • Lower risk - Less failures with one fitting per branch size with a standardized install process, suitable for COOL-FIT pipes for d63 - d225.
  • Compact design - Designed with end customers mind, less space required. Ideal for new and retrofit projects.

6. COOL-FIT Push System

The COOL-FIT Push System is an addition to the existing pre-insulated plastic piping system COOL-FIT by extending the product range with smaller piping dimensions to reach the cooling unit. The COOL-FIT Push System is a plug and play solution with mechanical connections meaning significantly less tools, easy handling and faster installations. 

  • One complete system - Complete pre-insulated piping solution for confident insulation, including pipes, fittings, valves, and tools.
  • Bridging big to small - Additional dimensions extend the range to reach the end product for greater system performance and assurance.
  • Plug and play - the iFIT connection means significantly less tools, easy handling, and faster installations.
  • Safe operation - Maintenance-free operation for 25 years thanks to unique material properties and safe jointing technology.

Success Stories
