re: How do hotels handle hot water?

Design of the building will account for all fixtures running at once. Usually banks of hot water heaters on small box hotels. The larger ones have hot water boilers amongst other items daisy chained together.

It's a commercial building.

They use a series of pipes, and faucets.

Recirculating pumps for the hot water.

A central boiler that is not pressurized so just at boiling temperature instead of making steam. Then there is a holding tank. If done right there is also a constant circulation with hot water added as demand dictates.

Very carefully.
Very carefully.

Most of them have a hot water return line, creating a loop that's always moving. And like someone else said - multiple boilers.

nd right now it is 80 degrees and what feels like about 90% humidity in WI. I was melting outside so I would not mix well with LA.
Folks around here swear you’ll eventually get acclimated to it. I’ve been here for 46 years and still can’t stand it. I should be acclimated any day now.

I can remember traveling as a kid and running out of hot water a lot. Probably older types hotels built before the 80s.

I stayed for several weeks at a Hampton Inn in Corpus Christi that was operating at near capacity. They ran out of hot water around 7:00AM every day.

They use hot water heaters to keep up. Regular water heaters arent enough

I don’t do that, but on work trips I’ll turn the bathroom into a giant steamer and get the wrinkles out of my shirts. Beats ironing.

You’ve heard of tankless water heaters no?
Way too inefficient.

Big boilers and constant circulation.

So you're the guy that keeps the nightly rates climbing. Imagine that water bill.

I always figured they use boilers for the laundry, kitchen and hot water.
