Hot Water Temperature Maintenance
Raychem/Tyco Thermals Controls provides a simple way to keep water at a consistent warm temperature, regardless of the type and complexity of the building.
Self-Regulating Heating Cables (types of self-regulating cables)
The Raychem HWAT system is a hot water temperature maintenance system that utilizes self-regulating heating cables, an easy-to-install set of connection kits and electronic controller to provide commercial buildings with immediate hot water at the tap without the use of a water re-circulation system.
HWAT-Y2 and HWAT-R2 self-regulating heating cables are designed for installation on hot water supply pipes underneath standard pipe insulation. The cable adjusts its power output to compensate for variations in water temperature and ambient temperature. It produces more heat if the temperature drops and less heat if the temperature rises. The heating cable replaces supply-pipe heat losses at the point where the heat loss occurs, thereby providing continuous, energy-efficient, hot water temperature maintenance and eliminating the need for a recirculation system.
