The HALFEN Iso-ElemenT HIT-HP MVX is a load bearing insulated connection element for thermal separation of cantilevered reinforced concrete components such as balcony and ceiling slabs. It is used to prevent mold, to ensure increased building physical requirements and to avoid cracking due to temperature expansions. It consists of a sturdy casing box made of plastic, which is filled with mineral rock wool. In addition to the insulating effect, the mineral rock wool is used as fireproofing material so that all versions of the insulated connection element HIT-HP are by default classified in the fire resistance class REI 120 according to /EN 13501-2/.
The tension bars and the Compression-Shear-Bearings (CSB) form the statically bearing components of the system. They are arranged into the casing box in such a way that a shift in all three spatial directions can be excluded, so that the system has a high assembly security.
The tension bars are made of a welded connection of stainless steel and rebars. The Compression-Shear-Bearings consist of a fiber-reinforced high-performance mortar and are adapted with regard to the usage area, as well as mechanical and structural properties.
The HALFEN Iso-ElemenT HIT-HP MVX is available in the following variants:
• joint widths: HP = 80 mm
• The number of tension bars and Compression-Shear-Bearings define the load bearing capacity level of each HIT element
• Element height: h = 16 cm to 35 cm
• Element length: l = 25 cm, 50 cm, 100 cm
• Concrete cover: cc = 30 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm
• The respective variant of HALFEN Iso-Element HIT is integrated in the product name and so clearly defined.
The declared product HIT-HP MVX-0805-20-100-cc in the EPD is thus characterized by:
• joint widths: HP = 80 mm
• Number of tension bars: 8
• Number of Compression-Shear-Bearings: 5
• Element height: h = 20 cm
• Element length: l = 100 cm
• Concrete cover: cc = 30 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm
Detailed information about HALFEN Iso-ElemenT HIT-HP MVX-0805-20-100-cc is included in the table in section 2.3.
All variants of the above mentioned product HALFEN Iso-ElemenT HIT-HP MVX have respective to the declared product HIT-HP MVX-0805-20-100-cc identical components which are manufactured by the same production processes. Thus, the EPD results for the production of HALFEN Iso-ElemenT HIT-HP MVX-0805-20-100-cc are applicable to other element types (load bearing capacities) by considering the respective calculation rules within this EPD.All used materials are recyclable and made in a significant ratio from recycled materials. Therefore, the HALFEN Iso-ElemenT can be classified as environmentally friendly.
The materials needed for the final assembly of the HALFEN Insulated connections HIT-HP are manufactured in-house or purchased from qualified verndors.
The Halfen insulated connection HIT-HP with tension bars and Compression-Shear-Bearings is built from a modular system of plastic casings with integrated thermally insulating fire protection material. In order to be protected from moisture, the thermally insulating fire protection material is enclosed in the casing box from all sides.
The welded connections of the tension bars are made with the flash butt welding method. The tension bars are arranged in the upper casings and secured in their positions, together they form an assembly unit. The Compression-Shear-Bearings made of high performance mortar are arranged with CSB end-caps in a casing box and secured in their positions. They form an assembly unit. In the built-in state, the upper casings are connected with the lower casings. The stainless steel component of the tension bar is produced at HALFEN plant Artern / Germany. The components: tension bars, Compression-Shear-Bearings, processed casing boxes and assembled module units are produced at HALFEN plant Nowe Skalmierzyce / Poland. The final assembling of all module units is done at HALFEN plant Artern / Germany or HALFEN plant Nowe Skalmierzyce / Poland.
The HALFEN Iso-ElemenT HIT is delivered by default stacked on wooden pallets with lateral wooden slats, secured in position with packing tape. Any use of protective foil is omitted by default. This is used only on customer request. The individual packaging materials should be separated according to their type and recycled.
HALFEN Iso_element HIT-HP can not be re-used but material recycling is possible.
All components of the described product can be returned and recycled into the material cycle. In view of an efficient recycling process it should be ensured that a separation of materials during decommissioning is possible.
The disposal of non-recycled parts of HALFEN Iso-Element HIT can be disposed of at any waste disposal site with appropriate waste number /EWC/ 191001 (for steel components) or /EWC/ 170904 (for other components) according to the /European Waste Code/ of the European Waste Catalogue.
Background system:
Electricity: Electricity is modelled according to the individual country-specific situations. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly, individual energy carrier specific power plants and plants for renewable energy sources are modelled according to the current national electricity grid mix. Modelling the electricity consumption mix includes transmission / distribution losses and the own use by energy producers (own consumption of power plants and "other" own consumption e.g. due to pumped storage hydro power etc.), as well as imported electricity. Secondly, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled as well as the share of electricity plants and combined heat and power plants (CHP). Thirdly, the country-specific energy carrier supply (share of imports and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific energy carrier properties (e.g. element and energy content) are accounted for. Fourthly, the exploration, mining/production, processing and transport processes of the energy carrier supply chains are modelled according to the specific situation of each electricity producing country. The different production and processing techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different energy producing countries are considered, e.g. different crude oil production technologies or different flaring rates at the oil platforms.
Thermal energy, process steam: The thermal energy and process steam supply is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation with regard to emission standards and considered energy carriers. The thermal energy and process steam are produced at heat plants. Efficiencies for thermal energy production are by definition 100% in relation to the corresponding energy carrier input. For process steam the efficiency ranges from 85%, 90% to 95%. The energy carriers used for the generation of thermal energy and process steam are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity above).
Transports: All relevant and known transport processes are included. Ocean-going and inland ship transport as well as rail, truck and pipeline transport of bulk commodities are considered.
Energy carriers: The energy carriers are modelled according to the specific supply situation (see electricity above).
Refinery products: Diesel fuel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, lubricants and residues such as bitumen are modelled with a parameterised country-specific refinery model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refining techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption, etc.) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific situation with the respective properties of the resources.The HALFEN Iso-ElemenT type HIT-HP MVX is used for static transfer of bending moments as well as positive and negative shear forces. It is placed between the outer and inner reinforced concrete construction such that the heat flow is locally minimized and the thermal bridges is reduced.Partly terminated systemAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massForeground system: The overall production of Halfen comprises further products beside the product considered in this study. Data for thermal and electrical energy as well as auxiliary material refer to the declared product. During data collection the allocation is done via meter (m).
Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.
