Condition monitoring with sensors in building services engineering
Monitoring of hot water preparation to prevent legionella bacteria
Battery powered wireless sensors for easy installation
The wireless sensors suitable for temperature detection are easy to install. Their probes are simply applied to the pipe. Wiring is not necessary, because thanks to battery operation, the power supply is secured for five years. Due to the easy handling and quick installation of wireless sensors, the costs are significantly lower than for wired sensors.
Multiple uses possible with remote monitoring
The described data infrastructure can also be used for other purposes, because the MC100 terminal accepts the data of different sensor types. These can be, for example, sensors for recording air humidity, CO2 content or other values. For example, in parallel with hot water production, the air quality can also be controlled remotely.
This is why legionella should be avoided
Legionella can cause diseases such as Legionnaires’ disease – a dangerous lung disease. They feel particularly comfortable at around 30°C to 50°C and are most likely to reproduce at these temperatures. This is favored when the water stands in the system for a long time. To counteract this, it is recommended to achieve a temperature of at least 60°C at the outlet of the water heater and 55°C at the tap.
