FOURFOLD LOWER ELECTRICITY COSTS

More than 20 professional healthcare workers (doctors, physiotherapists, healthcare technicians, and other healthcare professionals) at the Community Health Center perform various healthcare activities. The station receives visits from hundreds of patients daily, resulting in a substantial consumption of hot water. The daily consumption of hot water in the Community Health Center, which also houses a pharmacy, is approximately 470 liters.

They use 264,000 liters of water each year. Before changing the heating system, they spent €2,600 annually to heat the hot water with a conventional boiler. Due to the need to reduce costs, they decided to install the S-Max hot water heat pump with a 450-liter tank.

They are extremely satisfied with the new solution as they have reduced their electricity consumption costs by 4 times, now totaling around €660 per year. Additionally, they no longer run out of hot water, which was quite inconvenient and awkward for a healthcare facility. The annual savings can now be allocated to other equally necessary investments or improvements.

The water is prepared in accordance with the DVGW W 552 regulation and heated to a constant temperature of 55°C. To achieve protection against legionella in accordance with DVGW-W 551, a system with a switching valve and circulation pump is installed, allowing all water in the system from the entry of cold water through the distribution to consumers and in the return circulation line to the water heater to be overheated. During overheating, the water in the water heater is heated to 65°C. During the remaining time, circulation is activated to maintain hot water at consumer connections.

Legionella is a bacterium that most commonly thrives and reproduces at temperatures between 32 and 42°C and causes various respiratory diseases. It is destroyed at temperatures between 60 and 65°C. Thermal disinfection to prevent legionella is performed daily according to a program.
