Raychem Hot water temperature maintenance system
Description: The hot water temperature maintenance system offers a simple,
proven alternative to older re-circulation systems. Combining hot water comfort
with economy. The self-regulating heating cable on a single pipe hot water
system compensates for heat losses and maintains the water temperature. It
eliminates the need for return pipework, additional insulation, circulation
pumps and balancing valves. There are two options:-
SystemsBoth systems comply with all the current codes of practice for the control of Legionnaires’ disease.
Applications: The Raychem system can be used with any type of hot water services, either a ‘new build’ or a refurbishment and in particular in hotels, hospitals, schools and offices.
Operating cost savings: with the Raychem hot water maintenance there is no return pipework, therefore, no extra heat loss. The flow pipe temperature is automatically managed and there is no additional power consumption from the pump. Independent studies have shown savings in running costs averaging at 25%, compared with a re-circulation system.
Maintenance free & naturally balanced: With no circulation loops the Raychem system remains naturally balanced and with no moving parts the system is maintenance free.
