Nuaflex Solar Hoses: Powering Efficient Thermal Energy
At Nuaflex, we provide a specialized range of flexible metal hoses engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the solar energy and heating sectors. From high-efficiency heat transfer components to robust, weather-resistant transport lines, our products ensure optimal performance and longevity in thermal systems.
Wide Pitch Metal Hoses for Solar Applications
Engineered for extreme environmental conditions, these hoses feature a mechanically shaped, wide-pitch corrugation that offers superior durability and flexibility without the need for braiding.
Key Features:
- Extreme Temperature Resilience: Operates effectively across a vast temperature range from -270°C to 600°C.
- Durable Design: Constructed from wide-pitch corrugated stainless steel with an age-proof design.
- Compliance: Designed and type-approved in accordance with EN ISO 10380 standards.
- Reliability: Advanced production methods guarantee high leak resistance.
- Transporting hot and cold water between solar thermal panels.
- Ideally suited for environments requiring the absorption of significant thermal expansion.
Nuaflex Insulated Solar Hoses with PVC UV Protection
These all-in-one assemblies are designed to maximize energy efficiency and simplify installation in solar thermal systems. They combine a high-quality stainless steel hose with advanced insulation and protective layers.
Key Features:
- Core Material: Premium AISI 316L Stainless Steel flexible hose.
- Superior Insulation: High-performance EPDM Rubber (available in 13mm or 19mm thickness) minimizes heat loss.
- Robust Protection: A durable PVC coating provides robust defense against UV radiation and bird damage.
- Smart Integration: Includes a sensor cable for real-time temperature feedback transfer.
- Technical Specifications:
- Max Working Pressure: 16 Bar.
- Working Temperature: -40ºC to 150ºC.
- Diameters: DN12 to DN32.
- Energy Efficiency: Significant reduction in heat loss due to EPDM insulation.
- Durability: Protected against harsh environmental factors and physical damage.
- Easy Installation: Quick and cost-effective installation with a flexible body and screwed fittings.
Nuaflex Boiler Hoses (Heat Exchanger Hoses)
Nuaflex Boiler Hoses are designed to optimize thermal exchange within heating systems. Their unique geometry provides a larger surface area compared to standard pipes, facilitating superior heat transfer.
Key Features:
- Material: High-quality Stainless Steel.
- Design: Wide surface area engineered for maximum thermal conductivity.
- Resistance: Highly resistant to acid and corrosion.
- Calcification Resistance: Heats surfaces without accumulating limescale or calcification.
- Space Saving: Ideal for installation in narrow spaces within boiler units.
- Versatility: Compatible with various boiler types and heat exchangers.
Nuaflex Cut & Fit System (Easy Connection Hoses)
The Nuaflex Cut & Fit system empowers installers to create custom-length flexible metal hose assemblies on-site, quickly and without specialized heavy machinery.
Key Features:
- Self-Assembly: Allows for the creation of hose lines to exact requirements in minutes.
- Versatility: Suitable for both hot and cold water applications, including drinking water.
- Cut the hose to the desired length using a standard tube cutter.
- Slide the swivel nut over the hose.
- Compress the last corrugation using the special Nuaflex hammer tool to create a flat sealing surface.
- Install the segment and gasket for a leak-free connection.
- Speed: Entire assembly process takes approximately 3–4 minutes.
- Flexibility: Eliminates the need to stock pre-cut lengths, reducing waste and inventory costs.
Nuaflex Extensible Water Hoses
These hoses feature a closed-pitch corrugated structure that has been specially heat-treated (annealed). This treatment eliminates mechanical stress caused by forming and welding, resulting in a hose that is both highly flexible and extensible.
Key Features:
- Structure: Closed-pitch corrugation for maximum flexibility.
- Heat Treatment: Increases corrosion resistance and eliminates manufacturing stress, helping the hose retain its shape.
- Extensibility: Can be stretched to accommodate varying connection distances (e.g., from 90mm extending up to 2000mm).
- Economic Installation: Reduces installation time and cost by adapting to non-standard distances.
- Tight Radius: Can be installed with a tight bending radius without reducing the cross-sectional flow area.
Versatility: Ideal for a wide range of general water applications.
