Mira Showers has announced the launch of Mira HeatCapture, providing developers the opportunity to offer a sustainable and efficient wastewater heat recovery system.
The new product utilises heat from the bathroom wastewater to increase the efficiency of a domestic heating system. This results in the boiler applying less energy to heat water, as the required heat rise has been reduced.
With hot water demand being added to the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) regulations for 2025, Mira’s HeatCapture will help specifiers and new property developers ensure new building projects are in line with these regulations from the onset. The HeatCapture product will increase the overall hot water efficiency of a new home by up to 10%, a statement said.
HeatCapture is designed with a double wall stainless steel heat exchanger, with the core ensuring water exiting the shower waste or bath clings to the side of the tube to transfer its heat to the cool incoming mains. Conforming to EN1717, the steel heat exchanger is matched for new build applications. Once installed, the technology requires no further maintenance by the homeowner, a statement added.
