Lingo > Drain-Water Heat Exchanger

 

 

Drain-water heater exchangers usually sit beneath shower or commercial drains. As the used hot water passes through them, most of the heat is drawn out and returned to the hot-water system, often by adding it to the cold-water line.

It's an interesting way to make a plumbing system much more energy-efficient. This one serves an upstairs bathroom in the House on Hummingbird Hill.
