Default Recycling w/Laundry/Carwash Combo

A friend of mine had the idea of using ducted dryer heat to (supplementally) heat a carwash tunnel when these business are combined.

Seems like a reclaim for everything would be great, too, for at least some of the tunnel carwash process.

Thoughts? Anybody doing this?

at a previous employer, we piped heat off of the vac turbines into the blower room.

Heat = Energy

Energy = Money

By capturing and reusing the heat, it is sure to save money.

Great idea in my opinion!

However, I would advise against combining any water reclaim systems. These should be addressed individually. Combining them introduces too many variables, which leads to complications.
