Pipe anti-corrosion, hospital water supply and air conditioning piping longevity device "NMR Pipe Protector"
NMR Pipe Protector extends the lifespan of hospital water supply pipes and air conditioning chilled and hot water pipes affected by red rust deterioration for over 40 years at one-tenth the cost of pipe replacement.
Water supply pipes and chilled/hot water piping generally require replacement due to aging deterioration. In hospitals with over 25 years of operation, the chilled/hot water piping can experience red rust deterioration, leading to red rust blockage. At the same time, this red rust can flow into copper fan coils, causing blockages and reducing heating and cooling efficiency. Additionally, the red rust can accumulate within the heat source equipment, shortening its lifespan. In the water supply pipes, red rust can develop at the joints, and as the red rust deterioration progresses within both pipes, the threads at the joints can break off, leading to leaks during strong earthquakes. The NMR Pipe Protector prevents red rust deterioration, transforms red rust into black rust to improve pipe strength, and extends the lifespan of the piping. Since the chilled/hot water system is centralized, if piping replacement is carried out, the hospital must halt operations for more than six months, and the replacement costs can reach hundreds of millions to over a billion yen. The damages caused by operational downtime are also significant, leading to a demand for technology that can extend the lifespan of the air conditioning piping without replacement. The NMR Pipe Protector, a device for preventing red rust within pipes, has made this possible at less than one-tenth the cost.
basic information
"Unnecessary updates to the water supply pipes and air conditioning chilled and hot water piping." Iron oxidizes and forms red rust due to dissolved oxygen and water molecules in water. However, when electrons are supplied to the red rust, the water molecules and oxygen contained in the red rust are separated from it, transforming into a very hard black crystal that is one-tenth the volume of the red rust. Because it is black, it is called black rust, and due to its attraction to magnets, its scientific name is magnetite. This black rust belongs to the same passive state as gold, so if all the red rust in the piping is converted to black rust, the piping will no longer deteriorate from red rust internally. Therefore, if external corrosion is prevented with paint or similar materials, the lifespan of the building can be extended.
