As a result of the 2020 pandemic, we see customers investing more in solutions for their facility’s hot water needs ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient systems that meet a variety of sanitary and process requirements. Relcon is aware of the consumption of limited resources such as water and energy. We are committed to working with our vendors to provide energy efficient equipment and alternative methods to conserve our valuable resources.
Our customers’ requests cover a vast range of applications in the commercial, industrial, and residential markets. Relcon in partnership with Raychem HWAT, HubbellWater Heaters, and OGI Quickwater are your partners for hot water solutions.
RaychemHWAT System
The Raychem HWAT system utilizes self-regulating heat trace cable installed directly to domestic hot water supply piping, to maintain the system temperature as provided by your water heater. By using advanced electronic controls and easy to install connection kits, an HWAT system can reduce time to tap hot water and simplify complex recirculating systems.
Self-Regulating Heat Trace
HWAT is a self-regulating heat trace cable that adjusts its heat output accordingly to maintain the desired constant temperature
Can be cut to length in the field
Designed to be used with ACS-30 or HWAT ECO advanced controllers
ACS-30 and HWAT-ECO Controller
Advanced controls calculate the amount of “on” time required to maintain the desired temperature based on Raychem’s advanced algorithm
Preconfigured “usage profiles” allow clients to tune the system to meet their water usage needs throughout the day/weeks/months providing energy cost savings
Network interface capabilities enable IOT connectivity directly to the users BMS
Efficient Design
Eliminates the need for re-circulating systems and excess piping/pumps/valves
