The present invention intends to provide a drinking water circulation device () for cold water consumption, which is compactly accommodable in a building, universally and easily connectable to different cooling devices, easy to operate and, in addition, little failure-prone and easy to install. This drinking water circulation device () comprises a heat exchanger for cooling the drinking water, a return connection () for feeding drinking water returned from a circulation pipe into the drinking water circulation device (), a supply connection () for discharging the cooled drinking water from the drinking water circulation device (), a drinking water circulation pump () provided between the return connection () and the supply connection (), a buffer tank () for a cooling medium (), a cooling medium pump () provided in a cooling medium flow path between the buffer tank () and the heat exchanger (), a control device () for controlling the cooling medium pump () and a supply temperature sensor (), which is associated with the supply and is data-connected to the control device ().

The present invention relates to a plate heat exchanger system with a plate heat exchanger () comprising an inlet () and an outlet () of a primary circuit (), an inlet () and an outlet () of a secondary circuit (), at least one plate () separating the two circuits in a housing of the plate heat exchanger from each other, and preferably a pipe which connects the primary circuit to a heating device. For improving heat transfer between the primary circuit () and the secondary circuit (), the plate heat exchanger () is according to the invention in the direction of gravity (G) arranged such that the plane (E), in which the plate () is located, is inclined relative to the gravity vector (G) and the horizontal (H).

The present invention relates to a water system with a warm water line () for supplying at least one first consumer () connected thereto with warm water and a continuous flow heater (), in which cold water introduced into the latter is heatable, connected to said warm water line (). In case warm water remains in the continuous flow heater, because it is only partially consumed, limescale deposit can reduce the performance and the service life of the continuous flow heater. Limescale deposit is particularly likely to happen in stagnant warm water. The present invention aims to solve aforesaid problem in that a flushing station () connected to said warm water line () is provided, by way of which stagnant water in said warm water line can be drained in a chronological sequence until the water contained in said continuous flow heater () is below a predetermined setpoint temperature.
