Domestic Hot Water Gets Domesticated
As winter winds down, building owners can take a breather from resident complaints about apartment temperatures, thermostats not working, radiators too noisy, and the like. In the spring and summer, they can fondly turn their thoughts to complaints about air conditioning, hot water temperatures, water pressure and all the other maintenance issues in the building.
While the customer service aspects and costs of multi-family building ownership never end, it turns out that for at least one class of problems, Heat-Timer® has a world class solution: the perfect delivery of domestic hot water.
The Heat Timer Electronic Tempering Valve (ETV) and Electronic Tempering Station (ETS)
When it comes to managing domestic hot water in apartment buildings, office buildings, school dormitories, hotels, and other commercial buildings; Heat-Timer’s Advanced DHW controls represent the most reliable and safe solution to be found.
Our basic product is the Heat-Timer® Electronic Tempering Valve, a digital, stainless steel mixing valve that perfectly regulates water temperature in any environment. We also can provide the Heat-Timer® Electronic Tempering Station, which is a pre-plumbed version of the ETV, all internal connections are made and the installer merely has to connect hot and cold water feeds, saving many hours or even days in installation time. It comes in fixtures that can be mounted to the wall or standalone on the floor.
1. Precise Temperature Control
Electronic Temperature Regulation: Both the Electronic Tempering Valve and Station provide precise control over the temperature of the hot water delivered to the various fixture units throughout the building. This ensures that the water temperature remains consistent and within a safe range.
2. Safety
By maintaining a constant, safe, and comfortable temperature at the fixtures, these systems help prevent scalding accidents, or overnight thermal runaway which are safety issues in shared living spaces like apartments, dormitories, hotels, and hospitals.
Our ETS also protects against the development of Legionella or other waterborne bacteria by allowing hot water to be stored at a much higher temperature than it is delivered at. This effectively kills the development of any bacteria that might have been in the supply water..
3. Energy Efficiency
Optimized Energy Use: Both systems help optimize energy use by ensuring the water is delivered at exactly the correct temperature. When the system adjusts the mixing of hot and cold water, it reduces the amount of unnecessary energy consumption, preventing overheating of water and energy wastage.
Lower Utility Costs: By preventing the need to excessively heat water or overcompensate for temperature fluctuations, the systems can contribute to lower energy bills for large buildings with high hot water demand.
4. Reduced Maintenance and Longer Equipment Lifespan
Protects the Boiler System: By controlling the temperature and flow precisely, these systems can help reduce stress on the main boiler system by preventing overheating or underheating of water, which in turn helps extend the lifespan of the boiler and reduces maintenance costs.
Prevents Damage to Piping and Fixtures: Consistent and controlled water temperatures help prevent damage to the plumbing, faucets, and fixtures, which can be costly to repair in large-scale buildings.
Domestic Hot Water, Just Got Domesticated
The Heat Timer Electronic Tempering Valve and Electronic Tempering Station are ideal for managing domestic hot water in any building because they provide precise temperature control, energy efficiency, safety, and adaptability to fluctuating demand. They help extend the life of the building’s water systems, reduce operating costs, and ensure reliable and comfortable hot water delivery to all users.
