Preliminary Questions
- How often do the dryers run (seasonal, hrs/day)?
- Where is the intake and outlet (air and water)?
- Where to locate a heat exchanger?
- How much heat does the deep pool require?
- How much energy does the deep pool require?
- Will a heat exchanger be cost-effective?
- Where is the water heated for the deep pool?
- What is the cost per gallon-degree to heat water at that point?
