GENERAL
This warm water system is designed for the purpose of providing potable water. Its use in an
application other than this may shorten its life.
The Apricus Tempermate Warm Water System provides water at a safe and usable temperature in a
situation where the control of the temperature of the water discharging from an outlet is of the
utmost Importance i.e. within hospitals, schools, aged care facilities, etc. This type of system is
intended mainly for use in applications with set temperature between 43-50°C. The valve is designed
to prevent the flow of water discharging from the mixed water outlet in the event of the failure of
either hot or cold supply.
The Apricus Tempermate utilises one or more Caleffi 2522TM series high performance thermostatic
mixing valves that have been specifically designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of:
“AS 4032.1 Thermostatic Mixing Valves-Materials, Design and Performance requirements”. This
particular series of valves can be used with high temperature water in solar applications.
If this warm water system is to be used where an uninterrupted warm water supply is required, you
should ensure that the warm water system is designed in such a way that you have back up
redundancy. We recommend you seek advice from your plumber or specifier about your needs with
regards to building redundancy into your warm water system.
BENEFITS OF WARM WATER SYSTEMS
Centralised mixing valves provide several benefits over point of use;
•
Reduces the installation cost of multiple valves, as well as reducing the cost and
inconvenience of having to service multiple units
•
Maintenance can be managed from one central location, usually at the hot water plant room
•
Reduced interruption of water supply through improved maintenance scheduling
•
Improved aesthetics from requiring mixing valves under cabinets, in walls etc
•
Energy savings are achieved with warm water systems by reducing the circulation
temperature, thereby reducing the heat loss through pipes.
SAFETY
The Apricus Tempermate can give stable operation provided it is installed, commissioned and
maintained as per the recommendations outlined in this manual. This unit cannot be considered as
an alternative to adequate duty of care during its use and operation.
