I am in the process of installing a walk in cooler for our new 15bbl brewery. It will be a small cooler because of space constraints and I have a mechanical engineer helping with the design of our brewery. I would like to design our system to use the excess heat from the condensing unit to pre-heat domestic hot water, or stand-by water for brewing or radiant space heating. Does anyone have any experience with these applications? My mechanical engineer and refrigeration guys seem skeptical.
I want to do this to reduce costs and be eco-friendly. Any friendly advice? Any equipment I should be investigating? Any idea of pay-back periods? Any pitfalls? Am I nuts?
