Suzhou city was founded in 500 BC. It is nowadays a major city located in southeastern Jiangsu Province of East China, about 60 miles northwest of Shanghai. It is a big economic centre and local point of trade and commerce, and the second largest city in the province, after its capital Nanjing.
The central part of the city is impressive due to its modern skyscrapers, architecture and advanced solutions. Modern living requires buildings to have hot water available whenever and wherever needed – and preferably immediately. The main Domestic Hot Water system was installed in two apartment buildings visually making an arch For all the branch pipes indoor to use pipe tracing by self-limiting cables, about 20 metres for each apartment were required.
The Challenge:
Make hot water available and provide necessary temperature for appropriate disinfection to fight Legionella bacteria.
Modern living requires buildings to have hot water available whenever and wherever needed – and preferably immediately. But to achieve this in multistorey houses, electric heating systems are needed. This is no different in Suzhou apartments located in a major city in southeastern Jiangsu Province of East China, about 60 miles northwest of Shanghai.
The Solution:
Necessary water temperature achieved with electric heating - eliminating the risk of Legionella bacteria
The main Domestic Hot Water system was installed in two apartment buildings visually making an arch. For all the branch pipes indoor to use pipe tracing by self-limiting cables total length 10 000 m, about 20 metres for each apartment were required.
The Result:
Self-limiting heating cable for temperature maintenance
Electric Heating plays an integral role in the deployment of solutions to meet the present and the future challenges of big cities. Being a healthy solution for any apartment house or a hotel building, it provides appropriate disinfection to suppress the Legionella bacteria. Hot water supply is ensured by self-limiting heating cables that are used for temperature maintenance.
