"Energy Generation without Leakage in the Swiss Alps"
Only two years after commissioning, leaks were found on the hydraulic stainless steel tubes in one of Europe‘s largest pumped storage plants in the Swiss Alps.
The reason: Conventional stainless steel cutting ring fittings had not been able to withstand the strong vibrations in some of the exposed areas of the power plant.
Kraftwerke Linth-Limmern AG now relies on the tube forming system from STAUFF.
