Interplast manufactures a corrugated pipe of O28 for greenhouse heating applications. Jimny Therm pipe is black with a special stabilizer that offers exceptional resistance to solar radiation.

Pipe Advantages - Features

a. Long lifespan under exposure to solar radiation
b. High resistance to electrochemical corrosion
c. Lightweight, easily carried and installed
d. Long pipe lengths (Standard manufactured length 100 m/coil)
e. Very flexible
f. Satisfactory performance in a temperature scale of 40°C to 60°C

Useful technical details on installation

Average temperature in °C: 55°C (60°C supply - 50°C return).
Efficiency per meter of pipe:=60 kcal/ m.
Meters of pipe required per hectare :
Approximately 3000 meters of Jimny - Therm per 1000 m² including the necessary reinforcement of lines at the edges of the greenhouse. Calories required per hectare for a typical greenhouse:
Approximately 200,000 Kcal/1000 m².
Surface covered in m² by one meter of Jimny-Therm, Ø28:
0.174443 m²
(Example: for a typical 1000 m² greenhouse : 3000 m. x 0.174443 m² = 523.329 m² heat-radiating surface).

Testing for return to original shape after heating

According to the results of tests performed at our laboratory, shape recovery after heating of Jimny-Therm pipe is in the order of 0.5%.
