Microflex® UNO
Microflex® UNO: Over 160 m of flexibility
MB Impianti srl of Calco (LC), in collaboration with heating engineer Gianmarco Braga of QUODO and the Cernusco sul Naviglio branch of Clerici SpA, was commissioned by MACOS srl to design and upgrade a gas combustion system in a multi-storey residential building located in the northern part of Milan, in an area that has undergone progressive renovation in recent years. The project involved several stages of implementation and, after careful analysis during the design phase, the installation company and the heating engineer proposed Microflex® UNO pre-insulated flexible piping to meet the energy efficiency, safety and performance requirements of heating and air conditioning systems. In particular, Microflex® UNO is designed for use in a wide range of applications, both for heating and cooling, with an operating temperature ranging from -10°C to 95°C. Thanks to its resistance to pressures of up to 6 bar, the product is ideal for low and medium temperature heating systems, as well as for cooling systems, where it is essential to maintain a constant fluid temperature without incurring efficiency losses. Furthermore, the possibility of purchasing Microflex® UNO in customised lengths, depending on the requirements of the system, made it possible to optimise the installation, reducing waste and adapting perfectly to the technical specifications of the project.Why Microflex® UNO
Microflex® UNO proved to be the ideal solution thanks to the intrinsic characteristics of the product, such as the PEX-a SDR11 inner pipe (a highly resistant and flexible material capable of guaranteeing superior long-term performance), the oxygen barrier compliant with DIN 4726, which prevents the passage of oxygen, protects the system from corrosion and preserves the integrity of the system, and the multi-layer thermal insulation in expanded cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) (CFC-free), which offers excellent thermal insulation properties thanks to its closed-cell structure. In addition, the corrugated high-density polyethylene (PE-HD) outer sheath provides further protection to the inner pipe. The corrugated double-wall structure offers greater mechanical strength, protecting the system from physical damage during installation and throughout the system’s service life.
What our customers say
“Thanks to its high flexibility, Microflex® has made it possible to significantly limit excavation work, reducing installation times and costs. These results were supported by the quality of the service offered and the punctuality of deliveries,” emphasises Marco Belloni of MB Impianti srl. “These aspects proved to be fundamental for the successful development of the project.”
