Abstract

A system for rapid and efficient water heating is provided, with a water and heat recovery component. Using a thermal store as a heat exchanger the system mixes steam and cold water to deliver hot water at a user-controlled temperature. The high operating temperature of the thermal store and its thermal efficiency result in a compact, highly- efficient means of hot water delivery. Water and energy usage are further reduced through a means of recycling hot water through the system in operation.
