ABSTRACT:
A system and method for extracting heat from hot unrefined water and ultimately using this heat to do useful work, while avoiding the danger of damage to heat exchange equipment by scale and corrosion, which is many times attendant on such methods. The hot unrefined water is passed through a housing containing porous material giving up its heat to the porous material. A volume of clean water is then passed through the housing picking up the heat from the porous material. The heated clean water can then be passed through a more or less conventional heat exchanger without danger of damaging the internal surfaces of the exchanger with scale and corrosion.
