What Engineers have to say about Aquatherm

Utah State University ? Data Center Upgrades chooses Fusion and Polypropylene, Eliminates CW pipe insulation

?Our problem with the data center was using a piping system that was reliable,? said Lorin Mortensen, a mechanical engineer at USU. ?We originally speced stainless steel, but the environment of the data center was not suitable for welding, so we looked at alternatives.?

Jon Burrows from Colvin Engineering suggested an alternative system.

?We were working with an existing system. We had to maintain the fire protection and the air quality,? Burrows said. ?[USU] wanted welded pipe, but without the welding fumes. The Aquatherm system seemed like a good way to give them that.?

We write Design Standards for each of the 20 brands that Marriott builds world-wide on an annual basis.? Beginning in the January 2009 editions, Aquatherm will be included as a replacement for metal pipe in chilled water, heating hot water and domestic potable water systems for all Marriott Brands.
