Verification of NMR Pipe Protector Effect at Yokohama City Waterworks Bureau Part 1

NMR Pipe Protector, a piping rehabilitation device that prevents leaks by preventing red rust in the chilled and hot water piping of cultural centers, libraries, and art museums, reducing maintenance costs to less than one-tenth.

Art museums, museums, cultural centers, libraries, and other places frequently visited by the general public and tourists use energy-efficient warm-type central air conditioning. The chilled water piping for this air conditioning is made of galvanized steel pipes (SGP pipes), which, after more than 20 years of construction, experience deterioration due to red rust. When the threads at the pipe joint deteriorate and fall off due to red rust, leaks can occur from these weakened areas during earthquakes or other events. Additionally, deterioration from red rust inside the pipes can lead to problems such as reduced heating and cooling efficiency and early failure of the heat source equipment. The solution to this issue of red rust deterioration inside the pipes is the pipe rehabilitation device NMR Pipe Protector.

• Water treatment equipment

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.

The rust prevention effect of the NMR pipe protector is due to the action of small clusters of water, which has also been proven to promote the growth of tomatoes and strawberries.

The pipe rust prevention device "NMR Pipe Protector" was featured on TV Tokyo's economic information program "World Business Satellite (WBS)." The rust prevention effect of the water from the NMR Pipe Protector has small clusters, which promotes the growth of vegetables, leading to verification in the agricultural field. At "Mitsu Village" in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, NMR Pipe Protectors are installed in the pipes that supply water to the greenhouses. In the program, the weight of tomatoes grown with regular water was compared to those grown with water from the supply pipe equipped with the NMR Pipe Protector, and on average, the latter tomatoes were 16 grams larger. From previous verifications, it has been found that growing tomatoes with water from the supply pipe equipped with the NMR Pipe Protector increases the yield by approximately 7 percent. In this way, the NMR Pipe Protector is expected to leverage its ability to change the properties of water and expand into various fields. *You can download the materials for free. *Please feel free to contact us first.

For piping that has been in use for 20 years, we recommend a free diagnosis! Based on diagnostic results from images and data, we will propose the best methods for cost reduction and extending the life of the piping.

Do you know of any ways to reduce the management costs of piping and further extend the lifespan of older pipes? By reconsidering the replacement of old pipes (pipe renewal) and traditional pipe rehabilitation, significant cost reductions can be achieved. Additionally, the typical lifespan of pipes, which is around 20 years, can be extended to 40 to 50 years, equivalent to the lifespan of the building. At Japan System Planning, we offer a free diagnosis of red rust deterioration inside pipes. If the diagnosis indicates that cost reduction is not possible, we will not make any proposals. We will conduct a diagnosis to help you continue using old pipes for as long as possible and at a low cost. Please feel free to contact us!

Our company has added new products "MRS-019" and "MRS-020BK" to the "MRS Coating" series, which exhibits excellent release properties for adhesives, resins, and adhesive tapes, intended for use in food contact applications. We propose these as a new option for environments where compliance with regulations and high release performance are both required for equipment and components that come into contact with food. The MRS Coating series offers a range of surface treatments that not only provide excellent non-stick properties but also feature solvent resistance and high hardness, which are not found in traditional silicone treatments. In food manufacturing processes that handle materials prone to sticking, such as rice, dough, and seasonings, it contributes to reducing adhesion issues, lowering cleaning burdens, and improving work efficiency. You can utilize this coating on metal components that come into contact with food, such as conveyor parts, hoppers, chutes, guides, plates, and components of filling and molding equipment.

We are pleased to announce that our waterproof sheet "Innovation Proof RR," integrated with our radiative cooling material "SPACECOOL," has been introduced in two elementary schools in Setagaya, Tokyo. In recent years, the severe heat during summer has worsened the environment in schools. A report by UNICEF points out that high temperatures may affect school attendance rates and children's concentration. Additionally, in Japan, there have been many cases of heatstroke occurring during physical education and sports activities under school management, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has reported that school sports activities are closely related to children's heat exposure risks. Furthermore, the heatstroke prevention guidelines for school sports specify criteria for exercise implementation based on the WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature), indicating that specialized management is necessary for activities in hot environments. As the need for heat countermeasures in schools has become more urgent than ever, we aim to contribute to creating a more comfortable educational environment for teachers and students by introducing our radiative cooling material "SPACECOOL," which cools spaces with zero energy, thereby reducing heat gain from roofs and lowering indoor temperatures in gymnasiums and school buildings.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can cause changes in the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
