Efficient energy with Cross Electrical hot water distribution

UK building regulations require all engineers, architects and builders to ensure that they work hard to reduce energy consumption and use in the areas in which they work while trying their best to utilise renewable sources of energy.

Hot water pipe work is just one area in which those working in these types of industry can make an impact on this reduction in the energy use of a whole building, more so than making a change in other sectors. 

Hot water pipes must be able to withstand the maximum temperature of the water being piped. Pipe material may be copper or an appropriate thermoplastic material.

Standard methods of hot water distribution in a building which are often referred to as a ‘flow and return’ in domestic water heaters function on designs which don’t necessarily work within commercial use due to its method of water at the tap outlet as opposed toin the pipe work like a Cross Electrical solution would.

This system is not energy efficient for commercial and industry use and can often lead to significant heat losses meaning further monetary losses also.

At Cross Electrical our aims to ensure your industry is utilising the correct temperature maintenance when building or constructing homes and buildings to enable cost-effectiveness for yourself and your clients in addition to producing and using efficient energy. 

This is why we promote our modern solution the XEL-W which offers an effective solution for hot water pipe work within re-circulation systems. 

You can see from our graph the significant impact this piece of equipment can have. By combining hot water comfort with economical methods, the self-regulating heating cable fitted which is made to be fitted on one single pipe’s delivery system can compensate for the heat loss of water in the pipe while ensuring that hot water is delivered at the desired temperature the whole way through to the hot water system.

The XEL-W is the perfect solution for hot water temperature maintenance of pipes in:

• ·         Family homes
• ·         Houses and flats
• ·         Hospitals
• ·         Sports centres
• ·         Industry buildings

By providing hot water from every tap outlet it eliminates the necessity for return pipe work, reduces energy consumption and is easy to install without any maintenance required. What’s more it can also be used for low temperature process maintenance.

 

With 50% less pipe work than normal hot water pipe work systems the XEL-W has been specifically designed for such application and can even be fitted to existing systems preventing the running of gallons of cold water in order to get to the hot water.
