My GFX allows me to increase the capacity of my 40 gallon, LP-fired water heater used to provide heat in a 2000 square foot home and domestic hot water for a family of four. Maybe you were the last person up on a Saturday morning and were treated to a lukewarm shower. This is an all too familiar occurrence for many consumers, and process industries often encounter similar problems. Industries also pay demand charge premiums when using electricity to heat or cool water during peak consumption periods.
Hot water is a precious commodity in most homes and businesses.
There never seems to be enough of it when you need it. Various heat exchangers have been created to help alleviate some of the energy loss in industry, commercial, and residential applications. However, in many cases these heat exchangers have proven expensive and inefficient. The system works while the drain and supply lines are concurrently in use, for example, when someone is draining process flows or when hot water from a shower or faucet is flowing down the drain. By recovering energy that is ordinarily lost down the drain, GFX significantly reduces the amount of energy required to heat or cool water.
