Saves CO2: Shower channel with heat recovery
Kaldewei,
the sanitary brand known for its floor-level showers, has now added a special
feature to its portfolio: the Flowline shower channel line. Designed by the
renowned Studio Aislinger and equipped with the patented Click'n clean
mechanism, the shower channel is, according to the manufacturer, particularly
easy to maintain and clean. Another highlight is the integrated heat recovery
system.
For a
flexible shower area design, Studio Aislinger has created FlowLine in various
surfaces and colour nuances in a reduced design. In addition to the Crystal
luxury variant with an elegant glass surface, the surfaces brushed stainless
steel, champagne, gunmetal, white matt and black matt will be available from
autumn 2023. The shower channel can be positioned freely in the shower area and
is offered in a length of up to 150 cm. Thanks to the Click'n clean mechanism,
the cover can be opened and closed with just one hand - for quick and hygienic
cleaning.
Saving energy even when showering
Hot water requires a similar amount of energy as heating
does; and up to 80 percent of the total amount of hot water created is required
for showering. In recent years the focus has been on developmenting ways
to heat more efficiently and using less energy but a lot of hot water is wasted
as it flows unused down the drain. The "Heatrecovery" version of the
shower channel provides a remedy. It uses the heat of the outflowing shower
water to preheat the cold fresh water on its way to the shower fitting. A heat
exchanger that is completely and invisibly integrated into the waste thus
ensures efficient heat recovery. In the spirit of sustainability this saves
energy, noticeably reduces costs and reduces the carbon footprint.
