Trace Heating - Hot Water
Trace Heating Systems for Hot Water Temperature Maintenance
Hot Water Trace Heating Systems
The Alternative to Recirculation Systems
Hot water trace heating systems provide a single pipe system for hot water temperature maintenance and legionella control.
Millions of metres of hot water trace heating cables have been installed in schools, hospitals, offices and domestic properties for over 20 years. Trace heating systems provide instant hot water with legionella control and are a cost saving alternative to a HWS re-circulation system.
Trace heating cables are used to maintain the water temperature above 50ºC, typically 55º or 60ºC. Hot water trace heating systems are also available to raise the temperature to 65ºc+ enabling the thermal disinfection of the pipework.
Hot Water Trace Heating Applications: hospitals, schools, sports centres, hotels, apartments
nursing homes, student accommodation.
Trace Heating - Self Regulating Hot Water Trace Heating Cables
Liverpool Arena. Client: Haden Young. Over 2km of hot water trace heating cable installed.
Trace heating systems for hot water temperature maintenance :
- Reduce installation costs - no return leg of pipe and insulation
- No balancing required with a single pipe trace heating system
- Save space - one less run of pipe gives more room in service ducts
- Prevent legionella - trace heating complies with CIBSE TM13, HS(G)70 HN(90)12
- Remove deadlegs - trace heating cables taken to the point of use
- Remedial uses - combine with recirculation or point of use heaters
- Low running costs - self regulating trace heating cable gives power only where needed
- Instant hot water - no waiting for cold water to run hot with trace heating cables
- Saves water - no running off cold water
- Long lifetimes - age tested for lifetimes in excess of twenty years
