Verfahren zur Herstellung eines vorzugsweise flexiblen, wärmeisolierten Rohres.Process for the production of a preferably flexible, thermally insulated pipe.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein flexibles, wärmeisoliertes Rohr, vorzugsweise für unterirdische Fernheizsysteme, bei denen es zur Erleichterung der Montage vorteilhaft sein kann, als kleine Verbindungsrohre und dergleichen flexible Rohre zu verwenden. . ■■ , , The invention relates to a flexible, thermally insulated pipe, preferably for underground district heating systems, in which it can be advantageous to use flexible pipes as small connecting pipes and the like to facilitate assembly. . ■■,,
Die für solche Zwecke üblichen flexiblen Rohre bestehen aus einer inneren dünnwandigen Rohrleitung aus Stahl oder Kupfer, einer umgebenden Isolation in Form von Polyurethanschaum, und einem äußeren Schutzmantelrohr aus geeignetem Kunststoff, meistens einem Polyäthylen-Wellrohr. Für flexible Rohre wird üblicherweise ein weicher Polyurethanschaum als Isolationsmaterial verwendet, während sonst für Fernheizungsrohre ein Hartschaum benutzt wird, wobei die Nachteile in Kauf genommen werden müssen, daß das spezifische Gewicht des weichen Schaums beträchtlich höher als das des Hartschaums ist, und nicht zuletzt, daß der weiche Schaum ausgesprochen hygroskopisch ist.The flexible pipes commonly used for such purposes consist of an inner thin-walled pipe made of steel or copper, a surrounding insulation in the form of polyurethane foam, and an outer protective jacket tube made of suitable plastic, mostly a corrugated polyethylene pipe. For flexible pipes, a soft polyurethane foam is usually used as the insulation material, while otherwise a rigid foam is used for district heating pipes, whereby the disadvantages must be accepted that the specific The weight of the soft foam is considerably higher than that of the hard foam, and last but not least that the soft foam is extremely hygroscopic.
Einige Hersteller sind deshalb dazu übergeganen, den harten Polyurethanschaum zu verwenden, wobei ein anderer Nachteil in Kauf genommen werden muß, und zwar der, daß das Schaummaterial bricht, wenn das Rohr gebogen wird, und dies ist aus verschiedenen Gründen nachteilig.Some manufacturers have therefore gone over to the To use hard polyurethane foam, another disadvantage must be taken into account, namely that the foam material breaks when the pipe is bent and this is of various types Reasons disadvantageous.
Zweck der Erfindung ist es, ein flexibles Rohr zu schaffen, welches diese Nachteile nicht zeigt.The purpose of the invention is to create a flexible pipe which does not show these disadvantages.
Die Erfindung beruht auf der Erkenntnis, daß schon spe-_ zielle Schaumstoffe entwickelt wurden, die besonders gut als Iso-The invention is based on the knowledge that spe-_ special foams have been developed that are particularly good as
lationsmaterial für die vorliegende Verbindung von weichen und leichten Materialien geeignet sind, die geschlossene Zellen besitzen, und die zudem genügend hitzebeständig sind. Insbesondere wird auf ein Material Bezug genommen, das unter dem Warenzeichen FRELEN bekannt ist, ein Schaum aus sogenanntem "vernetztem" Polyäthylen ist und in Platten hergestellt wird. Die Platten sind halbweich und elastisch nachgiebig, und sie können durch Aufrollen in Rohrform gebracht werden, wobei die gegenüberliegenden Stirnflächen der Platte in einer radialen Ebene durch Kleben oder dergleichen verbunden werden.lation material for the present connection of soft and light materials are suitable, which have closed cells, and which are also sufficiently heat-resistant. In particular reference is made to a material known under the trademark FRELEN, a foam made of so-called "crosslinked" Is polyethylene and is manufactured in panels. The panels are semi-soft and resilient, and they can be rolled up be brought into tubular shape, with the opposite end faces the plate can be connected in a radial plane by gluing or the like.
Solche Schaumstoffrohre sind als Isolation auf oder in flexiblen Rohren geeignet, und schon hierdurch wird in Bezug auf harten wie weichen Polyurethanschaum eine Verbesserung erzielt. Die Erfindung geht jedoch noch einen Schritt weiter, indem sie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung des isolierten Rohrs angibt, mit dem ein besonders vorteilhaftes Produkt erhalten wird.Such foam tubes are suitable as insulation on or in flexible tubes, and this alone is used in relation to hard and soft polyurethane foam achieved an improvement. However, the invention goes a step further by specifies a method for producing the insulated pipe with which a particularly advantageous product is obtained.
Dieses erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das isolierende Schaumstoffrohr so angebracht wird, daß es die Eisen- bzw. Kupferrohre leicht stramm umgibt, und daß das Rohr sodann bis zum einsetzenden Schmelzen der Innenseite des Schaumstoffrohres erhitzt wird, so daß das Schaumstoffrohr inwendig mit der Außenseite des inneren Rohres verbunden wird. Eine solche Verbindung konnte zumindest bei Verwendung des oben erwähnten vernetzten Polyäthylens erzielt werden.This method according to the invention is characterized in that the insulating foam tube is attached in such a way that that it surrounds the iron or copper pipes tightly, and that the pipe then until the beginning of the melting of the inside of the Foam tube is heated so that the foam tube inside is connected to the outside of the inner tube. Such a connection could at least be achieved using the above crosslinked polyethylene can be achieved.
Das Verfahren hat den großen Vorteil, daß die innerste Schicht des nicht-hygroskopischen Schaumstoffs in eine starre Beschichtung auf dem inneren Rohr überführt wird, wobei es in der Praxis unwichtig ist, wenn in dem inneren Rohr kleine Lecks auftreten, z.B. Risse, die durch Biegen des dünnwandigen Rohrs, entstanden sind. Ein solches Leck wird im voraus durch die innerste Sehaustoffschicht abgedichtet, so daß, falls der Flüssigkeitsdruck in dem inneren Rohr angemessen niedrig ist, das Medium wegen der geschlossenen Zellen nicht in den Schaumstoff, und wegen des An-The process has the great advantage that the innermost layer of the non-hygroscopic foam is made into a rigid one Coating is transferred to the inner tube, in which case it is not important in practice if small leaks occur in the inner tube, e.g. cracks caused by bending the thin-walled pipe. Such a leak is in advance through the innermost Layer of building material sealed so that in case of liquid pressure is reasonably low in the inner tube, the medium is not in the foam because of the closed cells, and because of the
haftens des Schaumstoffs an der Rohroberfläche im Bereich des Lecks nicht entlang der Außenseite des inneren Rohrs fließenadhesion of the foam to the pipe surface in the area of the Leaks do not flow along the outside of the inner tube
Ein Ausströmen eines Mediums aus Rohren, die mit Polyurethanschaum isoliert sind, kann kaum verhindert werden, und insbesondere nicht bei den Weichschaumtypen; bei den Hartschaumtypen geht das Ausströmen langsamer vonstatten, kann aber nicht verhindert werden, d.h. das Isolationsvermögen des Schaumstoffes wird in einer sich allmählich ausweitenden Zone abnehmen, und wegen der durch Biegen des Rohres entstandenen Risse im Schaumstoff wird es schnell zu einem lokalen Abnehmen des Isolationsvermögens der flexiblen Rohre kommen. Mit der Erfindung können also durchaus häufige notwendige und mühevolle Reparaturen vollständig vermieden werden. Eine weitere Perspektive der Erfindung ist, daß es realistisch ist, ein relativ billiges inneres Rohr zu verwenden z.B. ein Rohr mit reduzierter Wandstärke und somit ein Rohr mit erhöhter Flexibilität. , .An outflow of a medium from pipes covered with polyurethane foam are isolated can hardly be prevented, and especially not with the flexible foam types; with the hard foam types the outflow takes place more slowly, but cannot be prevented, i.e. the insulating capacity of the foam will decrease in a gradually expanding zone and because of the cracks in the foam caused by bending the tube there will quickly be a local decrease in the insulation capacity of the flexible pipes. With the invention you can so frequent, necessary and laborious repairs are complete be avoided. Another perspective of the invention is that it is realistic to have a relatively cheap inner tube use e.g. a pipe with reduced wall thickness and thus a pipe with increased flexibility. ,.
Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung ist die Möglichkeit, in prinzipiell wünschenswerter.Weise eine feste Verbindung zwischen der Aufienseite des Schaumstoffrohres und der Innenseite des äußeren Mantelrohres herzustellen. Das Mantelrohr ist gewöhnlich als stranggepreßtes Polyäthylenrohr ausgeführt, und genau dann, wenn auch das Schaumstoffrohr aus Polyäthylen besteht, kann eine solche feste Verbindung durch direktes Strangpressen des Mantelrohres um und entlang der Schaumstoffrohres erreicht werden, so daß das Schaumstoffrohr automatisch mit der Innenseite des Mantelrohres warm verschweißt wird. Dieses Verschweißen wird sogar dann erzielt, wenn das Mantelrohr sofort nach Austreten aus der Extruderdrüse um das Schaumstoffrohr herum von speziellen Werkzeugen zum Erzielen der gewellten Form behandelt wird.Another aspect of the invention is the possibility in principle desirable. way a firm connection between the outside of the foam tube and the inside of the produce outer jacket pipe. The jacket pipe is usually made of extruded polyethylene pipe, and precisely then, even if the foam tube is made of polyethylene, a Such a solid connection can be achieved by direct extrusion of the jacket tube around and along the foam tube, so that the foam tube is automatically heat-welded to the inside of the jacket tube. This welding is even then achieved when the jacket pipe is immediately after emerging from the extruder gland around the foam pipe by special tools is treated to achieve the corrugated shape.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung detaillierter anhand der Zeichnungen beschrieben. Darin zeigen:The invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Show in it:

In Fig. 1 wird gezeigt, wie ein längliches flexibles Metallrohr 2 an einem Ende, rechts, mit einer Druckluftquelle 4 verbunden ist, während sein anderes Ende von einem Endstück 6 eines Schaumstoffrohres 8, umschlossen wird, dessen anderes Ende 10 dicht verschlossen ist, wobei das Endstück 6 gegen die Außenseite' des- 'Metallrohres 2 geklemmt ist.In Fig. 1 it is shown how an elongated flexible Metal pipe 2 at one end, on the right, is connected to a compressed air source 4, while its other end is connected to an end piece 6 a foam tube 8, is enclosed, the other end 10 is tightly closed, the end piece 6 against the outside ' des- 'metal tube 2 is clamped.
Per natürliche Innendurchmesser des Schaumstoffrohres 8 ist geringfügig kleiner als der Außendurchmesser des Metallrohres 2, aber wegen des Luftdrucks von Quelle 4 wird das elastische Schaumstoffrohr 8 etwas erweitert, so daß es leicht über das Metallrohr 2 gezogen werden kann, wobei das Schaumstoffrohr hinter dem Endstück 6, wo es gegen Rohr 2 geklemmt ist, aufgebla-j sen bleibt.By the natural inner diameter of the foam tube 8 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the metal pipe 2, but because of the air pressure from source 4 this becomes elastic Foam tube 8 widened slightly so that it can easily be over the Metal tube 2 can be drawn, the foam tube behind the end piece 6, where it is clamped against tube 2, inflated sen remains.
Wie oben erwähnt, kann das Schaumstoffrohr 8 durch Aufrollen von Schaumstoffplattenelementen, die eine begrenzte Länge und Dicke haben können, gebildet werden. Somit kann das Rohr der Länge nach aus mehreren aufgerollten Plattenelementen zusammenge-As mentioned above, the foam tube 8 can be rolled up of foam sheet elements, which can have a limited length and thickness, are formed. Thus, the pipe of the Lengthwise from several rolled up panel elements
setzt werden, was durch angrenzende Flächen oder verklebte Stöße 12 angedeutet ist. Sollte die Wandstärke des Schaumstoffrohres 8 ungenügend sein, um die gewünschte Isolation des Rohres 2 zu erreichen, kann ein zusätzliches Schaumstoffrohr 14 mit Stoßen 16 auf der Außenseite des Schaumstoffrohres 8 angebracht werden, wobei das Anbringen ähnlich Fig. 2 erfolgt.what is caused by adjacent surfaces or glued joints 12 is indicated. Should the wall thickness of the foam tube be 8 An additional foam tube 14 with joints 16 can be insufficient to achieve the desired insulation of the tube 2 be attached to the outside of the foam tube 8, the attachment being carried out similarly to FIG. 2.
Wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt, muß dafür Sorge getragen werden, daß die Stöße 12 und 16 der beiden Schaumstoffrohre 8 und 14 schließlich axial versetzt liegen.As shown in Fig. 3, care must be taken that the joints 12 and 16 of the two foam tubes 8 and 14 finally lie axially offset.
Wenn das Rohr 2, z.B. auf einer Länge von 50 m, auf diese Weise mit einem oder mehreren isolierenden Rohren 8, 14 versehen worden ist, werden die gegenüberliegenden Enden der Metallrohres 2 an die elektrische Spannung eines Stromgenerator 18 angeschlossen, so daß das Rohr 2 bis zum beginnenden Schmelzen der innersten Oberflächenschicht des Schaumstoffes 8, das die Außenseite des Metallrohres 2 schon elastisch umschließt, aufgeheizt wird. Durch das Schmelzen wird der Schaumstoff mit der Außenseite des Metallrohres 2 verbunden.If the pipe 2, for example over a length of 50 m, is provided in this way with one or more insulating pipes 8, 14 has been provided, the opposite ends of the metal pipe 2 are connected to the electrical voltage of a power generator 18 connected, so that the tube 2 to the beginning of melting of the innermost surface layer of the foam 8, which the Outside of the metal tube 2 already elastically encloses, heated will. Melting the foam with the Outside of the metal pipe 2 connected.
Falls die Schaumstoffrohre 8, 14 aus besagtem vernetzten Polypropylen bestehen, ist der Schaumstoff weich und elastisch, so daß er leicht und ohne Rißbildung zusammen mit dem inneren Rohr 2 zu biegen ist, und es enthält abgeschlossene Zellen, die jegliche Ausbreitung von Flüssigkeit durch das Material hindurch verhindern. Falls der Schaumstoff zudem noch mit der Oberfläche des inneren Rohres 2 verbunden ist, wird ein eventuelles Leck in der Rohrwand nicht zu einem andauernden Ausfluß von Flüssigkeit in den Schaumstoff hinein oder entlang der Oberfläche des Rohres 2 führen, zumindest dann nicht, wenn der Druck in dem Rohr so niedrig wie gewöhnlich bei Fernheizrohrsystemen ist.If the foam tubes 8, 14 made of said cross-linked Are made of polypropylene, the foam is soft and elastic, so that it can be easily and without cracking together with the interior Tube 2 is bendable and it contains closed cells that prevent any spread of liquid through the material impede. If the foam is also connected to the surface of the inner tube 2, a possible leak in the pipe wall does not result in a continuous outflow of liquid into the foam or along the surface of the pipe 2 lead, at least not when the pressure in the pipe is as low as usual in district heating pipe systems.
Das bisher beschriebene wärmeisolierende Rohr kann mit einem äußeren Schutzmantel ausgerüstet werden, z.B. einfach durchThe heat insulating tube described so far can with an outer protective jacket, e.g. simply through
Einlegen in ein separat produziertes Kunststoffmantelrohr, das vorzugsweise als Wellrohr gestaltet ist, um das Biegen des kompletten Rohres zu erleichtern. Insertion into a separately produced plastic jacket pipe that is preferably designed as a corrugated pipe in order to facilitate the bending of the entire pipe.
Da das äußere Mantelrohr im Normalfall geeigneterweise aus Polyäthylen hergestellt wird und besagter Schaumstoff aus dem gleichen Material besteht, bietet die Erfindung die vorteilhafte Möglichkeit, eine wünschenswerte innige Verbindung zwischen den benachbarten Oberflächen des Schaumstoffes und dem Mantelrohr, . z.B. durch Kleben, herzustellen. Eine spezielle Möglichkeit besteht darin, ein thermales Zusammenschmelzen dieser Oberflächen zu bewirken, nämlich, das Mantelrohr 20, wie Fig. 5 zeigt, durch Strangpressen zu produzieren, und zwar durch eine ringförmige Düse 22 hindurch und direkt um das Schaumstoffroh 8, 14 herum, welches zentrisch durch die Düse geführt wird; dabei verschweißt sich das äußere heiße Mantelmaterial mit der Außenseite des Schaumstoffrohres. Das Mantelrohr kann in bekannter Weise mit Wellbacken 24 bearbeitet werden, die das glatte Rohr in ein leichter zu biegendes Wellrohr umwandeln.Since the outer jacket tube is normally suitably made of polyethylene and said foam from the the same material, the invention offers the advantageous possibility of a desirable intimate connection between the adjacent surfaces of the foam and the jacket tube,. e.g. by gluing. A special possibility is a thermal fusion of these surfaces to effect, namely, to produce the jacket tube 20, as shown in FIG. 5, by extrusion, namely by an annular Nozzle 22 through and directly around the foam raw 8, 14, which is guided centrically through the nozzle; the outer hot jacket material welds to the outside of the Foam tube. The jacket pipe can be used in a known manner Corrugated jaws 24 are processed, which convert the smooth tube into an easier-to-bend corrugated tube.
Für das korrekte Arbeiten der Wellbacken kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn das weiche Schaumstoffrohr eine etwas härtere Oberflächenschicht hat, deshalb kann das äußerste Schaumstoffrohrelement von höherem spezifischen Gewicht sein als das oder die inneren Elemente.For the corrugated jaws to work correctly, it can be advantageous if the soft foam tube is a little harder Has a surface layer, so the outermost foam tube element be of a higher specific gravity than the inner element or elements.
In Fig. 6 wird veranschaulicht, wie es, basierend auf einem Paar streifenförmiger Schaumstoffplatten 26 und unter Verwendung von. Form- oder Leitwerkzeugen 28, möglich ist.', ein fortlaufendes Formen eines Schaumstoffrohres 30 um das innere Rohr 2 auszuführen, wobei letzteres zwischen den'Werkzeugen 28 vorwärtsbewegt wird, die dabei die Schaumstoffplattenstreifen jn zwei Halbschalen umformen, die dann fortlaufend beim Passieren eines Paares stationärer Schweißspiegel 32 zusammengeschweißt werden. Das anschließende Erhitzen des inneren Rohres kann, wie in Fig. 4, mittels elektrischen Stromes öder wahlweise auch mitIn Fig. 6 it is illustrated how it, based on a pair of strip-shaped foam sheets 26 and below Use of. Forming or guide tools 28 'is possible', a continuous molding of a foam tube 30 around the inner Execute pipe 2, the latter between the tools 28 is moved forward, thereby jn the foam board strips Form two half-shells, which then continuously when passing a pair of stationary welding mirrors 32 are welded together.

Die Verwendung des besagten speziellen Isolationsmaterials ist auch dann vorteilhaft, wenn das innere Rohr aus Kunststoff besteht, und natürlich ist die Verbindung des äußeren Mantelrohres , Fig. 5, unabhängig von der Beschaffenheit des inneren Rohres.The use of said special insulation material is also advantageous when the inner tube is made of plastic, and of course the connection of the outer one Jacket pipe, Fig. 5, regardless of the nature of the inner tube.
Bei den bekannten wärmeisolierenden Rohren ist das äußere Mantelrohr als mechanischer Schutz und als Schutz gegen Eindringen von Wasser in das Isolationsmaterial erforderlich. Dank der Erfindung kann auf das Mantelrohr verzichtet werden, falls kein mechanischer Schutz des Schaumstoffrohres benötigt wird. Es sollte aber erwähnt werden, daß die mögliche Verbindung des äußeren Kunststoffrohres mit dem Isolationssehaumstoff durch Schmelzschweißung in Verbindung mit dem Strangpressen des äußeren Rohres den besonderen Vorteil besitzt, daß eine Perforation des äußeren Rohres keinen Anlaß zum Eindringen von Wasser in das äußere Rohr gibt; wenn auch solch eindringendes Wasser wegen der geschlossenen Zellen des Isolationsmaterials sich nicht in dieses ausbreiten kann, wäre es andererseits möglich, daß es sich entlang der Innenseite des äußeren Rohres ausbreitet und ein anderes zugeordnetes, wasserempfindlicheres. Rohrsystem erreicht. Es wird betont, daß die beschriebene Lösung dieses Problems die gleiche! ist, wie die zur Vermeidung der Wasserausbreitung entlang des inneren Rohres nach dem ersten beschriebenen Aspekt der ErfindungIn the known heat-insulating pipes, the outer jacket pipe is used as mechanical protection and as protection against Penetration of water into the insulation material required. Thanks to the invention, the jacket pipe can be dispensed with, if no mechanical protection of the foam tube is required. It should be mentioned, however, that the possible connection the outer plastic pipe with the insulation foam Fusion welding in connection with the extrusion of the outer tube has the particular advantage that a perforation of the outer pipe does not give rise to water penetration into the outer pipe; albeit such penetrating water because of the closed cells of the insulation material cannot spread into it, on the other hand it would be possible for it to spread along the inside of the outer tube and another associated, more sensitive to water. Pipe system reached. It will stresses that the solution to this problem described is the same! is like that for preventing water from spreading along the inner pipe according to the first described aspect of the invention
