Safety Shower Chillers

Safety Shower Chillers are essential pieces of equipment on site … when they work effectively. When ambient temperatures soar however, Safety Showers become a hazard.

  • Line temperatures reach well above the AS4775 recommended maximum safe water temperature
  • People are at risk of getting scalded
  • Dangerous Legionella bacteria grows rapidly in the stagnant potable water supply lines

In addition, the anti-scald devices which are designed to flush hot water out of safety shower supply lines, are constantly running, wasting thousands of litres of potable water per day.

Our Safety Shower Recirculation Technology eliminates potable water wastage and harmful bacteria in water pipes by ensuring the water never sits dormant in the water supply lines where it can heat up and where Legionella bacteria can flourish.

Heat Trap Chillers ensure cooled water is always available to safety shower units eliminating water wastage from anti-scald devices and ensuring that they work effectively 24/7.

Combined with the Heat Trap chillers, the Flo-Thru Safety Shower ensures your employees and contractors are safe during emergencies, when they do happen, whilst also saving you money by eliminating water wastage and by lowering maintenance costs.

Remote Skid Safety Shower Recirculation Technology Application

Recirculation is the essential key to managing temperature and bacteria in potable water supplies to eyewash safety showers.

Heat Trap’s Safety Shower Recirculation Technology has three main aspects.

  1. The safety shower potable water is kept separate from other uses and is circulated throughout the plant and passes through the water treatment plant to maintain the required levels of disinfectant.
  2. Chillers are connected to the circulated safety shower potable main via stagnant branches which are automatically vented every week by the chiller and the stagnant water in the branch is replaced with fresh chlorinated potable water from the circulated potable main.
  3. The chillers are connected to multiple eyewash safety showers and potable water is circulated by the chiller from the safety showers back to the chiller where it passes through a UV sterilizer and a cooling circuit before returning to the safety showers.

Benefits of Safety Shower Recirculation Technology

  • Eliminates bacteria growth and keeps bacteria counts to a minimum
  • Ensures water dispensed from the safety showers is always cool and safe
  • Saves costs by eliminating water losses from anti-scald valves
  • Saves maintenance time and costs with fully flushed self-draining safety showers

Chillers

Heat Trap Chillers recirculate potable water from connect safety shower/s back to the chiller where the water passes through a UV steriliser and a cooling circuit before going back out to the safety shower. The chillers can be connected to up to six safety showers depending on the design ambient conditions and the overall heat gain from the combined flow and return lines between the chiller and the connected safety showers.

Chillers can be installed as part of your existing infrastructure or as part of a brand new installation. We have a variety of options depending on your needs and will work with you to design the best solution for your application.
