DISPOSITIF DE RECUPERATION DE CHALEUR POUR EAUX MENAGERES

GREY WATER HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

Abrégé anglais

With oil reaching new price record, it is becoming very important to come up
with innovative
ideas to conserve energy. Thermal energy cost twice as much as the electrical
energy in
multi-unit residential buildings and condominiums.
The idea of renewable energy is becoming very popular in the construction
business; whether
the envelope more efficient :(better walls and roof insulation, more efficient
or by fresh air heat recovery through an air exchanger. Boilers are becoming
more efficient and energy efficient lights are becoming more popular everyday.
However, during the hours of the morning and the evenings. where multiple
showers, baths or
dishwashers are at peak, tremendous, amounts of hot water are going down, the
drains wasted in
the city sewage system.
The new GWHR "Grey Water Heat Recovery" will trap the previously wasted water
in an
insulated tank for a period of time to allow the grey water to exchange heat
with the cold water
before it leaves the tank and heads to the boiler.
This procedure will raise the temperature of the cold water entering the
boiler, and extract
some of the wasted hot water before the grey water leaves to the city sewage
system.

Revendications

Claim:
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege
is claimed are
defined as follows and shown on attached drawing.
A method of the holding tank 1 is installed between the building and the city
sewage
system allowing us to capture the wasted water for a period of time allowing
for heat
exchanging is illustrated in FIGS 1.
A method of installing a 6 or in pipe 2 carrying the sewage water from the
building will
enter the thank 1. The pipe is usually on a slope of 1/50.
A method of installing a 6 inch vent 3 will be located at the top of the
sewage pipe as
illustrated in FIGS1.
A method of installing an extended pipe 4 will drain the sewer line to the
bottom of the
tank. This way, the warm water from the building will stay in the tank for a
maximum
amount of time before it floats to the top where it is drained out to the city
sewage system
via pipe 6.
A method to extend the pipe 4 to a distance 7 from the bottom of the thank 1
A method to discharge via pipe 6 the grey water to the city sewage system
after most of the
heat is been recovered . This pipe 6 has, a slope of 1/50.
A method to implement the use of a heat exchanger system 10 to recover heat
from the
grey water medium.
