Rotex Sanicube
Heat Exchanger Tank

 

The ROTEX Sanicube Heat Exchanger Tank is a combination of hot water storage tank and a water heater system. The actual heat is not stored in the domestic water but in the clearly separate storage water. The domestic water content is relatively low at 19 to 80 l, depending on the storage tank type. The total storage tank capacity is 300 to 500 l, however. The heat volume which can be stored and extracted is correspondingly large.

The storage tank water is filled once during commissioning and is only used for heat storage. It is neither replaced nor consumed. The storage tank itself consists entirely of plastic, the inner and outer wall is made of impact resistant polypropylene (PP), the space in between is insulated with heat-conserving foam. This produces excellent heat insulation values and keeps surface losses to a minimum.

The heating of the storage tank water and the charging of the storage tank can be carried out in various ways:

  • Heating Water via a Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger
  • Solar Energy - Directly Heating Storage Tank Water via the solar collectors
  • Electric Heating Element (optional 2 or 2-6 kW)

The domestic water hot water is heated in a pipe register heat exchanger made of stainless steel, which is immersed in the storage tank water. This insures no contamination of the domestic water.

The water content of the domestic hot water heat exchanger is currently 19/24 litres and is therefore only a fraction of the water quantities usually found in hot water storage tanks. Areas with little current or which are not heated all the way through on the hot water side do not even come into question in the ROTEX Sanicube.

Domestic water is exclusively located in one pipe so that deposits of sludge, rust or other sediments, as can occur in containers with a large volume, are not possible. The water stored first is also taken out first (First-in-First-Out Principle).

The outstanding water hygiene advantages of this type of hot water storage tank were confirmed by extensive research carried out by the hygiene institute of Tübingen University, Germany.

The issue of water hygiene is of particular relevance in the case of buildings with a large hot water demand. In hotels, hospitals, sports halls and homes for the elderly, the supply of hot water is extremely important. There are clear legal requirements pursuant to the German domestic water Ordinance (Trinkw.V 2000).

The ROTEX Sanicube hot water heat exchanger & storage tank optimally meets the most demanding water hygiene requirements, since its operates like a flow water heater with regard to domestic water. Where there is a demand for large volumes of hot water, several ROTEX Sanicubes are simply connected to each other like modules. This has the advantage that the available space can be used in various ways. With the appropriate control technology equipment, it is also possible to install decentralised hot water storage tank systems in large supply networks.

Thanks to its light weight and its favourable dimensions, the Sanicube hot water storage tank is easy to transport and can be easily incorporated into existing buildings. In this case, large hot water storage tank systems can be connected to each other.
