    System description

    FERWAG district heating pipe is the registe-red name for a pre-insulated plastic casingpipe system used to transport district heat.The pipe system is designed to be laid directlyin the earth, without ducts. It has proven itsexcellence over several decades and isnowadays acknowledged as the industrialstandard in normal cases.

    Depending on the purpose for which it isused, FERWAG district heating pipe has acarrier pipe made either of steel (welded,seamless or galvanised), copper or specialsteel. This means that FERWAG districtheating pipe is suitable for transportingheating water, hot water for industrial ordomestic use, condensate and other fluids,but not for steam.

    The heat insulation of the FERWAG hea-ting pipe is provided by a rigid polyurethanefoam offering resistance up to 140 ° C. Theouter protection is provided by an HDPE (highdensity polyurethane) casing pipe. All threecomponents form a fixed unit, making thispipe system a member of the composite pipefamily.

    FERWAG district heating pipe is available inthree categories of insulation thickness.Depending on the dimensions, the pipeconstruction units can be supplied in lengthsof 6 + 12 (or 16) m. The construction unitsand all the associated moulded fittings suchas elbows or bends, T-pieces, fixed points oranchors and so on, are prefabricated in thefactory. This results in a modular kit systemwhich is correspondingly simple to plan andassemble.

    All the components are connected on site,using circumferential seams. The weld seamsand the end sockets are subsequentlyinsulated with joint sleeves. Subsequentinsulation work is usually carried out on ourbehalf by the system supplier or by qualifiedspecialist companies. During the planningphase, we will assist system users on requestby placing our experience with the system attheir disposal free of charge, as part of ourservice.

    Layout of the line for FERWAG district heating pipes is not subject to any special requirements. Withrespect to the pipe, it should fundamentally be selected with consideration to possible expansion. Forthis purpose, changes of direction in the normal layout of the line using L elbows are an initialoption. In addition there are Z elbows and U elbows, which are capable of taking up the expansionarising at precisely defined points.

    The angle sizes of the "expansion elbows" should not exceed 90 ° , since otherwise considerablylonger expansion legs are needed. If possible a right angled line course should always be aimed for.

    Components to compensate the temperaturerelated length-differences can almost berejected.

    In order to avoid destruction of the carrier pipeduring normal laying (without thermalprestressing), the friction force may only riseup to the maximum permissible force ofpressure on the carrier pipe. The districtheating pipe laid underground therefore mustnot be fixed, it must slide within the earth. Theexpansion occurring must be taken up in anexpansion elbow. The length of the slidingarea is identified for the remote heating linewith the term "laying length - Lmax".

    The laying length indicates at what distancefrom a fixed point the first expansion capabilitymust be created. The friction forces add upwithin this laying length up to a value which isstill below the maximum permissiblepressure force of the inner pipe.

    The FERWAG district heating pipe is a pipesystem in which the carrier pipe, heat insulationand sleeve pipe form a composite whole. As aresult, the expansion occurring in the carrier pipeis transferred to the polyurethane foam and tothe HDPE sleeve pipe. The polyurethane foamand the sleeve pipe thus expand to the samedegree as the steel pipe.

    Expansion of the district heating pipe is howeverrestricted to a certain extent in the sand bed byfriction between the sand and the sleeve pipe.The friction force may become so great in acorresponding pipe length, that the districtheating pipe is "fixed" in the earth andexpansion is completely prevented. The force ofpressures in the carrier pipe, which arecounteracting the external friction forces, thenbecome so great that impermissibly high stressescan occur in the carrier pipe.In the case of long pipes with an adhesion area,another possible way of reducing the amount ofmaximum tension is by thermal prestressing ofthe pipe.

    Thermal prestressing

    Thermal prestressingIn the case of long pipes with an adhesion area,another possible way of reducing the amount ofmaximum tension is by thermal prestressing of thepipe. In this case, the pipe which has been laid in theopen trench is heated up to the approximate meantemperature between the laying and operatingconditions; in this heated condition, it is sanded in andthen allowed to cool off again.

    At ambient temperature, this means that the pipe issubject to a constant tensile stress which reduces in alinear manner when the pipe is heated; the tensilestress becomes zero at the mean (or prestressing)temperature, and it changes into a compressive stresswhen further heating takes place.

    The maximum stress difference is split up into twoapproximately equal ”compressive” and ”tensile stress”components, each of an amount which is less than thepermissible maximum stress.

    vmax = ± ±±± ES · t · ( T - TV) [N/mm2]At a prestressing temperature of 70 ° C, that is to saythe temperature difference Tv = 60 K, this gives amaximum value of vmax = 147 N/mm2 for St 37.0.

    Furthermore, it is advantageous if the pipe stress atnormal operating temperature (80-90 ° C) isapproximately equal to zero, so that the pipe is laidvirtually stress-free for the greater part of the year.

    By shifting the prestressing temperature upwardsbeyond the mean temperature, it is possible to takeaccount of the fact that the key material valuesbecome less favourable as the temperature rises.

    Procedure:

    a) Lay the pipe in the open pipe trench. The expansionabsorbers should already be welded on. To ensure thatthe expansion of the pipe is directed, an artificial fixedpoint can be created by filling with earth over a lengthLs.

    Ls = L · Gges · µµµµ/FR'

    b) Position measuring points at suitable locations.

    c) Calculate the ideal length change (free expansion)using the measuring points.

    d) Calculate an optimal prestressing temperature, atwhich the maximum permissible stress is exceededneither in the operating condition nor in the cooling-off condition.

    e) Heat the pipe up to the specified prestressingtemperature. When doing this, it is particularlybeneficial to carry out the preheating withdisconnected recirculating water from a heatingnetwork which already exists. Apart from this, otherpossibilities are vacuum steam, hot air or electricalprestressing. Electrical prestressing is the mostadvantageous as regards the outlay.Prestressing can also be carried out section by section,since the complete line is seldom open, particularly ininner city areas.

    f) Measure the real expansion and compare it with theideal values. If the expansion obtained turns out to betoo low, the pipe can be briefly overheated in order toovercome the friction on the base of the trench. Whenthe calculated expansion is attained, return to therequired prestressing temperature again.

    g) Position the expansion pads and secure them sothat they cannot move.

    h) Align the pipes.

    I) Fill in the pipe trench and compact the earth. Whendoing this, the prestressing temperature must bemaintained, with a permissible variance of ± 5° C.

    j) Cool off and withdraw the pipe. This will bend theexpansion components up and draw them into thepad, meaning that they are also prestressed and aresubject to constant tensile stress in the laid condition.

    k) Measure the residual expansion after cooling hasbeen completed.

    Since this maximum stress remains constant throughoutthe entire adhesion area, the prestressed section of pipecan be of any length. Moreover, the sliding area turnsout to be very small on account of the low temperaturedifferences. Given that instances of thermal expansionoccur solely in the sliding area, only slight instances ofresidual expansion take place; these should be absorbedby the expansion components. Consequently, thedimensions of these components can be substantiallyreduced in comparison with non-prestressed pipes. Inaddition, a certain number of expansion absorbers canbe saved, since there is no need to subdivide the wholepipe into maximum laying lengths.

    The sliding area Lg and the residual expansion lcan be calculated as follows:

    Lg = [ES · AS · t · ( T - TV) + Fp-Fel]/FR‘ [m]

    L = [ t · ( T - TV) + (Fp-Fel)/Es · As] · Lg/2 [mm]

    Expansion elementsElbow < 90° (bend in the line); sheet 2

    In order to determine the expansion leg length (DS) and expansion pad location (DK) for elbows< 90° , the lateral displacement (deflection) Q is a determining factor. The lateral displacement Q maybe a maximum of 45 mm where the line is being laid using expansion pads. Anchors may ifnecessary be arranged before bends in the line, or else the elbows should be mechanically orthermally prestressed, causing the values for Q to be halved. The total lateral displacement Q shouldbe used in all cases for calculating the thickness of the expansion areas without thermalprestressing.

    Expansion pads are located in the area of expansion elbows, T pieces and reducing sockets, in orderto allow the FERWAG pipe to move in the earth. They are located in layers around the pipe in such away that the length alteration determined according to worksheets can be fully taken up.At least one expansion pad should be fitted in the incoming pipe leg in the area of the pipe elbow.If additional expansion pad has to be taken up in the pipe leg, accordingly more expansion, the padsmust be fitted there, according to the length alteration.

    When locating branches, e.g. house connection lines to the main line, the particular features ofthe plastic sleeve pipe system must be observed. Even short connection lines of small dimensionare held by the surrounding earth, so that their movement is restricted. The natural fixed point isagain created within the length of the connection line, so that restoring forces act on the mainline. The differing movements and force conditions of main lines and the connection line musttherefore be taken into account in all cases.

    The leg length a depends on length l. Length b is based on the possible movement of the main line.The total length a + b should be surrounded by expansion pads. Expansions of the main line are alsopossible on connections in the adhesion area, as a result of subsequent repair measures, so thatexpansion pads must be fitted as a precautionary measure. The thickness of the expansion pads thenneeded can be reduced if the connection lines remain free and are laid with low stress, where themain line is prestressed.

    Pipe elbows, minimum bending radiusIf district heating pipes have to be laid along roads, it may be necessaryto follow curves in the road by means of elbows or bends in the pipe. Insuch cases, the elbows may be composed of several straight lengths ofpipe. If the angle is up to 3 ° , these elbows can be created with bevelledcuts, but for greater angles, they can only be created with mouldedfittings.

    This curvature of the line creates bending stresses in the pipe, making itnecessary to specify a minimum radius of bending in relation to the pipedimensions. The minimum bending radius and the resulting maximumdeflection can be obtained as follows:

    Laying with small bendsSliding area: bends of a maximum of 3° are permissible in bevelled cuts.Adhesion area: bends of a maximum of 5° are permissible in bevelled cuts.The bends must be laid without expansion pads.

    Reductions in the adhesion areaDepending on the different stress cross-sections, there is bound to be a shift in the progression ofthe axial pressure force in the reduction.The higher pressure force in the area of the larger dimension may lead to an overload in the smallerstress cross-section, as a reaction force. This may be excluded either by avoiding reductions in theadhesion area, or by positioning a fixed point on the larger dimension side.
