摘要:The recovery of heat from greywater is one of the methods for
reducing the energy demand on buildings. The process may be
accomplished, e.g. using a Drain Water Heat Recovery (DHWR) unit
installed at the shower drain. The paper analyzes the rationale for a DWHR
unit being installed within a joint drain system of two separate shower
installations. To this end, Net Present Values (NPV) and Profitability
Indexes (PI) were calculated for the different parameters of a building
shower operation. The study showed that the profitability of such
investment depends not only on the installation's operation parameters but
also on the type of energy carrier.
