Un condominio reemplaza las tuberías de acero con fugas por el sistema de tuberías PEX de Uponor
La comunidad residencial de Quail Hollow en las afueras de Charlotte, NC, ofrece comodidad a los residentes que viven cerca del campo de golf en la lista de la PGA, centros comerciales y otros servicios para la vida diaria. Pero se estaba empezando a notar la antigüedad del condominio de 30 años que consta de 12 edificios independientes. El sistema de tuberías de distribución de acero con aislamiento preinstalado existente ya no estaba en buen estado ni era eficiente desde el punto de vista energético. El agua subterránea había penetrado en el aislamiento de las tuberías, lo que había aumentado los costos de energía por encima del nivel normal y, a su vez, había corroído las conexiones, con lo que había fugas. Se había tenido que inhabilitar el sistema varias veces para realizar costosas reparaciones. La asociación, que estaba cansada de los problemas y de los altos costos de energía del sistema viejo, decidió buscar una solución.

El sistema de tuberías con aislamiento preinstalado Uponor Ecoflex® fue la mejor opción para este condominio
La propiedad que rodea Quail Hollow tiene árboles frondosos, carreteras, estacionamientos y aceras, y era importante trabajar en el diseño existente. Las tuberías Ecoflex® de Uponor resultaron ser el producto perfecto para el trabajo. Con sus bobinas largas y flexibles de hasta 600 pies de largo, las tuberías Ecoflex requieren menos excavación de zanjas, menos conexiones y menos alteración del paisaje existente, y se instalan más rápidamente que los productos rígidos tradicionales.
Se adjudicó el contrato de la instalación de las tuberías subterráneas a Piedmont Natural Gas en Charlotte, y el proyecto comenzó en agosto de 2011. Cuando Brad Stroud, director de proyectos de Piedmont, conoció las tuberías Ecoflex, estaba muy entusiasmado. “Solo había trabajado con tuberías de acero en estos tipos de instalaciones”, dijo. “Pero Uponor nos brindó capacitación y asistencia en la instalación para hacer que la curva de aprendizaje fuera rápida y fácil”.
Dos plantas centrales de energía brindan agua caliente para la calefacción, agua fría para la refrigeración y agua caliente doméstica para cada unidad del condominio. Las tuberías subterráneas distribuyen agua caliente y fría a unidades con bobina y ventilador de aire forzado y agua caliente doméstica al sistema de tuberías.
Debido a las excelentes propiedades de aislamiento, a la durabilidad y a la flexibilidad de las tuberías Ecoflex, fueron la opción perfecta para el trabajo. Las tuberías Ecoflex tienen la tubería de servicio de polietileno reticulado de Uponor (PEX-a) y están protegidas por varias capas de aislamiento de espuma PEX y una cubierta de polietileno de alta densidad (HDPE) corrugado e impermeable.
“Al principio, me resultó engorroso desenrollar el producto”, dijo Stroud. “Pero la longitud continua de la bobina junto con la flexibilidad de las tuberías compensó mis dudas del comienzo”.
De hecho, la preocupación inicial de Stroud de desenrollar el producto se solucionó más adelante en el año con un nuevo diseño mejorado que se lanzó a finales de 2011. El dispositivo nuevo hace que desenrollar las tuberías Ecoflex sea más rápido y eficaz en el lugar de trabajo, lo que hace que el proceso de instalación sea más eficaz.
A finales del otoño, los residentes de Quail Hollow se beneficiaron de un sistema nuevo y confiable con una eficiencia energética muy superior. Ahora los residentes pueden disfrutar de sus hogares sin la preocupación de tener costosas reparaciones del sistema, temperaturas inconstantes del agua y engorrosos cortes del sistema.
