hwtm#016 – Lime as a heat barrier

Product placementFurther information at the end of the article.

In this episode we discuss “Scale as a Thermal Brake” – why scale deposits in heating and cooling circuits significantly impair efficiency and system lifespan.

You’ll learn:

  • How scale and residual hardness in heating and cooling systems hinder heat transfer and thus raise energy consumption.
  • Why standard-compliant water – with low conductivity, reduced hardness, and a clean loop – is a key factor for trouble-free operation.
  • What practical steps HVAC professionals can take to prevent scale deposits, boost performance and secure the longevity of systems.
