Tepid water solutions
20 March 2014
If the water temperature of an emergency safety shower is too hot or too cold, casualties are unlikely to remain under it for the minimum 15min recommended for effective decontamination. The internationally recognised ANSI 358.1 2009 standard specifies a temperature between 16 and 38ºC.
Hughes Safety Showers supplies tepid water solutions. Thermostatic mixing valves regulate water temperature at the shower or eyewash within specified limits by controlling the mix of hot and cold water. Valves are rigorously tested to ensure long, reliable service and may offer an inexpensive upgrade solution.
If hot water is not easily accessible, Hughes offers instantaneous heaters powered by steam or electricity; alternatively, a self-contained water heating system is available to provide tempered water directly to the shower head, eliminating the need for a mixing valve.
