Thermal disinfection This function helps to contain the spread of Legionella in DHW stores by systematically activating the after- heating. Thermal disinfection can only be completed when the disinfection temperature is exceeded for the duration of the disinfection period without any interruption. For thermal disinfection, the temperature at at least one reference sensor has to be monitored.
