ABSTRACT:
A heat-reclaiming system is especially adapted for reclaiming heat from used laundry water. It comprises a heat exchanger providing for heat transfer from warm used laundry water to cold incoming water intended for use as fresh laundry water. The heat exchanger is formed with interior ducts and an outer shell. The interior ducts, preferably concentric coils hydraulically in parallel, define a space for the transport through the heat exchanger of the cold incoming water. The outer shell encloses the ducts, and the ducts and shell together define a space providing for the transport through the heat exchanger of the warm used laundry water. The flows of the warm and cold water through the heat exchanger are generally in opposite directions. Maximum heat-transfer efficiency is accomplished by simultaneously pumping both the shell and the duct sides of the exchanger at design flow condition, and maximizing the log mean temperature difference across the heat exchanger.
The heat exchanger is mounted above a pit that stores the used laundry water before it is introduced into the heat exchanger. The shell is a roll-away design, and carries a pit cover plate that normally covers the pit but exposes the pit when the shell is removed. This minimizes heat loss from the pit during operation, while allowing for wash-down directly into the pit when the shell is removed during scheduled cleaning periods. The movable shell portion can be rolled away without breaking any pipe connections.
