THE EFFICIENT SUPPLY OF HOT WATER

Efficiency is always a key word invoked by hospitals, universities and factory and warehouse operators when they analyse day-to-day costs, and in one important area – the supply of hot water – it is often possible to make substantial savings.

The latest Stokvis steam-to-water packaged plate heat exchangers give steam a new life by using it to provide almost instantaneous hot water. They now incorporate a second fast acting electro mechanical safety valve which provides a “belt and braces” capacity to the already high standards of inherent safety. The established mechanical modulating safety valve which features a manual reset has been “beefed up” by the additional of a new unit which shuts off immediately on the failure of the electric power supply or a signal from a remote, independent, overheat thermostat.

These plate heat exchangers have been developed to make better use of a current steam supply and have reduced the conventional problems associated with hot water storage units such as stripping down annually for inspection.

The heat losses experienced with hot water storage units are also eliminated as hot water is produced within seconds and on demand with the steam-to-water system. The flueing problems associated with direct gas-fired water heaters are also eliminated.

The steam to water range of plate heat exchangers comprises twenty seven units to provide for up to 848 litres of hot  water per minute as standard.
