CPVC Outdoors?

We have a project in which a cooling tower is used, but we would like to save money and use CPVC instead of black steel. There is hot water involved in the return, around 150-160F. The problem is CPVC is really not for outdoor use. Is there any coating or wrap that will work. I was thinking Tapecoat wrap or a FSK (insulation with Aluminum). The piping should last minimum 15 years without any replacement. What is your experience or recommendation?
