TESEO JOINS THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY ROUTE OF NEXT ENERGY 2008
Teseo has been featured in the Energy Efficiency Route of “NextEnergy. Energy that moves the future”, the biennial show dedicated to energy efficiency and renewable resources, organized by Reed Exhibitions Italia within the Expo & Conference Expocomfort, in collaboration with the Kyoto Club.
Desenzano del Garda, 10 March 2008 – TESEO srl, specializing in the design, production and sale of aluminum piping and fittings for the construction of distribution plants for compressed air, vacuum, nitrogen and other fluids under pressure, modular manifolds for machinery and pneumatic panels, accessories such as benches, carriages and swiveling arms for the installation of production and assembly lines, has been featured in the Energy Efficiency Route of “NextEnergy. Energy that moves the future”, the biennial show dedicated to energy efficiency and renewable resources, organized by Reed Exhibitions Italia within the Expo & Conference Expocomfort (March 11 to 15, 2008, at the new Fieramilano-Rho exhibition center), in collaboration with the Kyoto Club.
To be easily and immediately identified by visitors as a member of the Energy Efficiency Route, the Teseo stand at Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (Hall 9, Stand T10) displayed the NEXT ENERGY logo to certify that the company’s products belong to the Route.
The Energy Efficiency Route includes products, components and systems that comply with the requirements of efficiency laws dated 24 April 2001, updated by the law decrees of 20 July 2004. In detail, Teseo’s solutions have been inserted under the category “Optimization of pumping system plant driven by electric motors”.
Teseo has joined the Energy Efficiency Route thanks to the features of HBS and AP, the aluminum piping systems patented by the Brescia-based company to carry compressed air, vacuum, nitrogen and other non-hazardous fluids. The maximum operating pressure of AP and HBS piping is 15 bar and the available range goes from 20 up to 110 mm of useful diameter. The pipes are extruded aluminum profiles with a peculiar design: the inside in circular, the outside consists of flat faces and grooves. The connections are made of die-cast aluminum with O-ring seals. The connections are fastened to the profiles by means of special clamping brackets with Allen screws; mounting is quick and easy, requiring non qualified labor and ensuring perfect tightness to pressure.
The internal surface of extruded profiles is very smooth, a feature that translates into high fluid dynamics efficiency. As a result, the fluid under pressure finds much lower friction as compared to conventional zinc-plated pipes, therefore less energy is required to carry the same quantity of compressed air to the user point. Typically, equipment that generates compressed air or vacuum are driven by electric motors. By reducing friction within pipes and eliminating leaks through the threaded connections of traditional systems, the overall costs of compressed air generation are cut dramatically.
According to a study by the Fraunhofer Institute, on behalf of the European Community, compressed air generation costs might be reduced by 20% if leaks are eliminated. Through almost 20 years in the industry, Teseo has been able to assess the benefits of upgrading old steel piping systems: in some cases, the energy required to keep the same flow rate has been cut by 30%.
