Cooling pipes for electrical equipment

How to build a disconnector mounting with thermal memory

Flashlights

  • When LKAB wanted to charge their boreholes more quickly and more deeply, we developed a stronger Wirsbo-inPEX pipe with extra-thick walls. 

  • Wirsbo-inPEX pipes with integrated end fittings mean that people who buy dishwashers from Electrolux, Asko Cylinda and Fisher & Paykel need not worry about water leaks.

  • Wirsbo-inPEX was the answer for Buckman Laboratories for a demanding chemical transportation installation at Stora Enso in Skoghall. 

  • The thermal memory of Wirsbo-inPEX enabled Alstom to have a tailor-made range of shrinkable end caps for district heating pipes. 

  • Wirsbo-inPEX withstands both flexing and vibrations, and was the solution for a flexible heating system fitted into Scania buses, for example. Wirsbo-inPEX is also used in the cooling system in the X2000 trains.

  • Wirsbo-inPEX is flexible, light in weight and an electrical insulator. It’s therefore ABB’s choice when they need to cool drive systems in icebreakers, high-voltage cables, transformers and thyristor valves – applications that impose very high demands on reliability.

  • The low friction of Wirsbo-inPEX and its resistance to abrasion are ideal when sand slurry is transported from the mines in South Africa. 

  • To cool ABB’s revolutionary Powerformer generator design, we developed, in close co-operation with ABB’s engineers, a special thin-walled version of the Wirsbo-inPEX pipe that met their high demands for flexibility and reliability.
