How can GFX help save water?
One way GFX saves water is by shortening shower warm-up times when preheated water feeds the cold side of the shower. Another way is by installing the Model G3-60 in applications where tampering with low-flow showerheads is likely; taking advantage of its relatively high pressure drop to limit flow to about 4.5 gpm. In some industrial applications, enormous quantities of cold water are added to hot wastewater to avoid Btu-taxes. A better way to save water and energy is to cool the wastewater by recycling its heat. This may demand an efficient, double-wall-vented heat exchanger capable of passing debris-laden wastewater. For example, cooling steam condensate from a potato-blancher at 212F down to 100F during the summertime with 65F water requires a recycling efficiency of 76% at very high flow rates for both fluid streams. A GFX Cooling-Wall is the most cost-effective, if not the only way to accomplish this at flow rates of hundreds to thousands of gallons per minute. Cooling effluent f
