New Generation Emergency Showers And Eye/Face Washes
Emergency safety showers and eye/face washes are special occupational safety equipment designed to wash chemicals or toxic substances that come in contact with skin, eyes, or clothing, meeting the requirements of international standards. Emergency showers can be defined as first-aid equipment that should be used as a necessity for an emergency response to reduce the effects of accidents at the workplace.
How is the product/service innovative in concept, design, or performance?
According to ANSI standards, the temperature of potable water supplied by the emergency shower must be maintained at 16-38 ° C in any climatic condition regardless of whether it is installed outside or inside of the building. The emergency shower must always be ready to use in case of an emergency.
If we had to heat/cool the water instantly coming from an emergency shower connected to the mains supply by an instant heater or cooler, we would need to use very expensive equipment at high powers such as 100-150 kW, and it would cause unnecessary electricity consumption and cost. This unnecessary energy consumption would be valid even during the weekly maintenance of the system, which is a requirement of the ANSI standard. For this reason, it is a more economical and more efficient solution to heat/cool the water in a tank by heater or coolers in smaller capacities and to keep the system ready for use in emergencies.
