Brugg Pipes Bioflex Fermenter Heater

BIOFLEX FERMENTER HEATER  

To ensure that heat is transferred as effectively as possible to the substrate in the fermenter, the BIOFLEX CNW 60/66 (DN 50) corrugated pipe is fixed to the wall of the fermenter in one or several heating circuits.

NON-WELD INSTALLATION IN RECORD TIME 

- Simple pipe securing
- Fast and convenient laying
- Non-weld connectors including through-connection through the tank wall

EXTERNAL CONNECTION SYSTEM 

To connect the corrugated stainless steel pipe outside the fermenter with the weld-free graphite grapa-s connector, the corrugated pipe is fed through the wall through a protective pipe at a low bending radius. This means that there is no joint in the fermenter.

SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE 

With its enlarged surface area, the bioflex achieves up to 150% more direct heat transmission than smooth pipes. The pipe is laid in the fermenter in one piece; no welding work or special tools are required for the connection system. Installation is possible without connecting pieces. It can be easily adapted to the fermenter geometry and is suitable for both concrete and steel tanks. An installation set with all of the necessary brackets, screws, etc., is supplied if required.

FERMENTER EQUIPMENT WITH BIOFLEX CORRUGATED PIPING 

The helically corrugated bioflex piping is the ideal solution through its simple and nonweld installation. Other advantages :

- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Highly flexible and self-compensating
- Far higher heat transfer than with conventional piping

SYSTEM ADVANTAGES 

- Endless manufacture
- High mechanical load capacity
- Can be laid in long lengths
- Quality assurance through helium testing
- Great flexibility; easily deformable, small bending radii
- Highly economical with corrosion-resistant materials
- Prevention of calcification through turbulent water flow
- Pipe profile with optimized thermal and hydrodynamic characteristics
- Surface up to 50 % higher maximum heat transfer through optimized wall thickness

CONNECTOR TECHNOLOGY

Optimized connections and fittings enable the pipes to be coupled to all standard connections. A flameless graphite packing technology (GRAPA) is used here. This easyto-fit connector system enables time-savings on installation work without welding.

MAXIMUM HEAT EXCHANGE WITHOUT CALCIFICATION 

-Vortices are formed in the helically corrugated pipe. These keep the water in a constant state of turbulence and exchange. -The core current is heterodyned by a swirl component formed by the pipe geometry, which creates additional vortices. On the one hand this generates maximum heat exchange while on the other it prevents calcification.
