Turbotec's New Enviro-Pak provides free hot water to laundromats

Windsor, CT., May 2007-Laundromat owners can now get free hot water by capturing the otherwise wasted heat currently piped away from their central air conditioning system. The Enviro-Pak, manufactured by Turbotec Products, Inc., is a compact heat exchanger designed to be used with light commercial AC systems in the 1.5 to 5 ton range.

The compact and highly efficient heat recovery system uses excess refrigerant energy to reduce water heating equipment load and provide free domestic hot water. Since the system can be connected to the central air-conditioning system, Enviro-Pak is ideally suited for laundromat and dry cleaners, particularly in southern climates, and allows these business to reduce their "carbon footprint".

The Enviro-Pak system is compatible with all commonly used refrigerants including R-22 and the new ozone friendly HFC-R410a air-conditioning refrigerants, making it extremely environmentally friendly. Additionally, when connected to a central air conditioning system, the payback can be as short as one year depending on the specific geographic location of the business. Immediately available, the Enviro-Pak is quiet, comes with either a white powder coat or stainless steel jacket, and features indicator lights for operational safety diagnostics. An optional isolation valve kit is available for water and refrigerant connections. The unit can be easily installed by a licensed HVAC contractor and comes with a five year limited warranty.

Turbotec, a world leader in enhanced heat transfer technology, manufactures a diverse range of high performance heat exchangers and flexible connector products for virtually any space conditioning or refrigeration applications in the automotive, biomedical, plumbing, water heating or aerospace markets.
