George Marostica knowledge, patience and time. Earl Rader for his donations, knowledge and time to teach us. Bret Blaski of Aqua Glass for his donation of the hot tub. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the ability of using waste heat energy. The potential for capturing waste heat is immense.
Many processes used in industrial, or even residential, operations generate heat.
This heat, in most situations, is merely being lost to the atmosphere. Consider a common household air conditioner for example. Heat that is removed from the home is dumped to the outside air. If that energy was instead harnessed and used to heat the home s hot water tank, the cost of hot water would essentially be zero during the summer. This principle was demonstrated in this project by using the heat removed from a refrigerator to heat a hot tub.
