  2. Thermostatic mixing valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostatic_mixing_valve

    Mengeneinstellung = Volume control. A thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) is a valve that blends hot water with cold water to ensure constant, safe shower and bath outlet temperatures to prevent scalding. The storage of water at high temperature removes one possible breeding ground for Legionella; the use of a thermostat, rather than a static ...

  3. Hot runner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_runner

    A hot runner controller is a temperature controller used to control the temperature in the hot runner. This helps create the most consistent part(s). Hot runners usually make the mold more expensive to manufacture and run, but allow savings by reducing plastic waste and by reducing the cycle time. (do not have to wait until the conventional ...

  4. Shower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shower

    A shower is a place in which a person bathes under a spray of typically warm or hot water. Indoors, there is a drain in the floor. Most showers have temperature, spray pressure and adjustable showerhead nozzle. The simplest showers have a swivelling nozzle aiming down on the user, while more complex showers have a showerhead connected to a hose ...

    Indoor mold (American English) or indoor mould (British English), also sometimes referred to as mildew, is a fungal growth that develops on wet materials in interior spaces. Mold is a natural part of the environment and plays an important part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees; indoors, mold ...

  6. Hot water storage tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_water_storage_tank

    Water at the outlet should not exceed 49 degrees Celsius. Some jurisdictions set a limit of 49 degrees on tank setpoint temperature. On the other hand, water stored below 60 degrees Celsius can permit the growth of bacteria, such as those that cause Legionnaire's disease, which is a particular danger to those with compromised immune systems ...

    Gas water heaters have an exhaust vent or one to two exhaust pipes on the top, and still require electric power for electronics, sensing and ignition. A three-phase, 21 kW, 400-volt tankless water heater in Europe, with new European color coding for three-phase power. There are also heaters that use several single-phase circuits instead.

    Stachybotrys. Stachybotrys (/ ˌstækiˈbɒtrɪs /) is a genus of molds, hyphomycetes or asexually reproducing, filamentous fungi, now placed in the family Stachybotryaceae. The genus was erected by August Carl Joseph Corda in 1837. Historically, it was considered closely related to the genus Memnoniella, [2][3] because the spores are produced ...

  9. Pressure-balanced valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-balanced_valve

    The pressure-balanced shower valve compensates for changes in water pressure. It has a diaphragm or piston inside that reacts to relative changes in either hot or cold water pressure to maintain balanced pressure. As water pressure drops on one supply line, the valve reduces the pressure in the other supply line to match. A side effect of this ...
