ThermalRecycle – Dryer Heat Recovery

A Revolutionary Energy Savings System for Your Commercial Dryers

High efficiency heat recovery system reduces the energy used to dry linens by 50%. From the leaders of cutting edge recycle applied science, AquaRecycle introduces its most advanced product yet, ThermalRecycle powered by Mr. H.E.A.T. patented technology.

With rising utility costs, environmental pressures, and an uncertain economy, ThermalRecycle offers an unprecedented 50% reduction in energy usage through its dryer exhaust heat recovery system. By using its proprietary Thermal Heat Wheel, our patent-pending system captures the waste heat naturally discharged from your dryers, and recovers it to the incoming air for incredible savings.

ThermalRecycle’s revolutionary design fits virtually any commercial dryer – old or new. And since our system operates independently of the dryer, it can recover the heat from any energy source.

Product Features

  • ThermalRecycle is based on proven technology with over 25 years of experience
  • Revolutionary, patent pending technology
  • Self cleaning process through special rotational design keeps the Thermal Heat Wheel working in continuous operation
  • Advanced design with many specific sizes to guarantee no air flow loss either to or from the dryers
  • Units are designed individually for each dryer and are an easy installation above, behind or next to each dryer
  • Thin gauge aluminum construction, hand wound, self-cleaning pore structure
  • Light weight construction is durable and long lasting with an estimated life of 20 years. 
  • Units are pre-assembled and factory tested. Installation is easy by ThermalRecycle or your local HVAC contractor

Savings Features

  • High efficiency heat recovery system reduces the energy used to dry linens by 50%
  • Due to higher incoming air temperature using ThermalRecycle, drying times are reduced by up to 25%
  • Thermal Heat Wheel captures the heat from the hot moist dryer exhaust and transfers the heat without the moisture to incoming cooler air
  • Longer lasting linens by utilizing the ThermalRecycle units operating at lower temperatures and no loss of operating times
  • Reduction or elimination of fabric softeners with lower temperatures and more even drying process Product Snapshot
  • 50% reduction in energy used in the drying process as well as 25% reductions in the drying times
  • 2 year payback or less on most dryers
  • Return on Investment over 50% in most cases
  • Modular design makes these units completely transferable from one dryer to another so as dryers age, the ThermalRecycle unit can go with the new dryer
  • Qualifies for tax/energy credits and rebates from local and federal agencies and utility companies

AquaRecycle and ThermalRecycle are committed to providing innovative products that are both savings oriented AND environmentally focused. ThermalRecycle technology provides economy and environmental sustainability without compromising linen quality or operational efficiencies. With the increasing governmental pressures through Global Climate Change and Carbon Footprint Reduction initiatives, ThermalRecycle provides ALL the sustainable benefits in a cost-effective technology solution.

Environmental Benefits

  • Excellent LEED certification points available
  • LEED certification categories which can qualify for points are: Sustainability Sites, Energy and Atmosphere, Onsite Renewable Energy and Innovation Design Quality
  • Reduction of 50% of the energy used in drying laundry represents a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a significant Carbon Footprint Reduction for your laundry operation
  • For every 100,000 lbs. of laundry processed, 200 million BTUs are used in the drying process. With a 50% reduction in energy usage, this represents 6.2 metric tons or 13,650 pounds of CO² (carbon dioxide) or greenhouse gases are kept from being released to the atmosphere
