LOGSTOR identity
LOGSTOR is
22/05/2013
• the world’s leading manufacturer of pre‐insulated pipes
for energy efficient transportation of gases and liquids for district energy -
district heating and cooling, solar, marine and industrial purposes -
and oil and gas.

LOGSTOR identity
LOGSTOR’s vision is…
22/05/2013
“…to make the World's energy supply more efficient and
reduce the global energy loss with leading insulation products,
improving the environment for the populations in all continents.“

The need for district energy
• ”Despite the fact that its demand
dominates all other energy uses,
heat is largely overlooked”
(Source: IEA)
• ”.. establishing minimum
performance requirements for
energy generation (including CHP
and district heating/ -cooling…)
would significantly improve
energy efficiency in generation”
(Source: EU-EED directive)

The LOGSTOR advantages
Service life costs
• Non-recurrent costs (investment costs)
22/05/2013
– Purchase costs, components
– Installation costs
– Costs of planning and commissioning
• Annual costs (operating costs)
– Costs of energy
• heat losses
• pump costs
– Costs of maintenance
– Costs of repairs
– Costs of poor quality
• Actual costs of the pipe system
10

The LOGSTOR advantages
Service life costs
The operation costs are by far the most important element in
the service life costs of a district energy pipe system.

Operating costs
Energy efficiency / heat loss
Product design
Outer casing - HDPE
LOGSTOR TwinPipe
– Design minimizes heat loss
– With diffusion barrier
22/05/2013
Polyurethane foam
(PUR) insulation
Alarm wires (copper)
Service pipe
Diffusion barrier – aluminium foil
up to Ø 315 mm outer casing
LOGSTOR Single pipe
– With diffusion barrier
up to Ø 315 mm
outer casing
12

Operating costs
Energy efficiency / heat loss
• Built-in diffusion barrier
– Prevents ageing of insulation
– Reduces energy losses
22/05/2013
Cyclopentane, λ = 0.012 W/mK
CO2, λ = 0.017 W/mK
Nitrogen
Oxygen
λ air= 0.027 W/mK
Lambda (λ) expresses the insulation property of a material.
The lower the lambda value, the better the insulation.
Result:
• Lower operating costs
• Less environmental impact
13

Operating costs
Service – before installation
• LOGSTOR Calculator
22/05/2013
– Web based tool to calculate
• Heat loss
• Costs for heat loss
• CO2 emissions
– Calculations as support for decisions on insulation series and design
14

Operating costs
Costs of maintenance and repair
• Durable jointing systems
22/05/2013
– Joint systems constructed to min. 30 years of operation
– Fusion welded joints
– Shrinkable systems including joints, bends and branches
– Mechanical joints including joints, bends and branches
15

Operating costs
LOGSTOR fusion welded joints
• They are made of the same material
as the outer casing
• The PE-weld between the outer
casing and the joint is computercontrolled
resulting in an optimum
welding process
• The joint and the outer casing melt
together to a solid, unbreakable unit
22/05/2013
• As the weld process is controlled by a
computer, human errors during
installation are eliminated
• The joint is designed to withstand all
impacts, it is exposed to during the
entire service life of the pipe system
16

Operating costs
Service during installation
• LOGSTOR WeldMaster is a
multifunctional PE fusion welding
machine that utilizes the latest PDA,
GPS and computer chip technologies
• The new technologies make the
installation of the joint more secure
without human errors
22/05/2013
• The computer gives a traceable
documentation of the installations
• Web-based documentation provides an
overview of the project
• The GPS module registers the
geographic location of the joint
17

Operating costs
SXJoint
• The SXJoint is made of cross linked polyethylene (PEX)
• The unique molecular structure of cross linked polyethylene means that
its properties include an exceptionally strong shrinkability which keeps
the casing joint tight and in place
• The casing joint is designed to withstand all impacts which it is exposed
to during the entire service life of the pipe system.

Operating costs
LOGSTOR SteelFittings
• Made of polyethylen coated steel sheet.
• One single jointing technique for straight joints, bends and branches.
• Fewer joints with less weldings save material and labour costs.
• Easy installation of new branches on existing pipe systems.
• No need for special tools.
• Visual inspection ensures that installation is correct – every time.
