TRL 9 / CRI 5-6 - Market competition driving widespread deployment &/"Bankable" grade asset class
Reclaim valuable heat energy from used shower water by pre-warming the fresh water before it arrives at the mixer. The shower drain Joulia has to be connected to the freshwater. By means of a heat exchanger module, the heat energy of the used shower water is reused to warm the incoming cold water mains. In this way, the cold water arrives at the mixing valve up to 20°C warmer than before (from 10°C up to 30°C). Therefore, substantially less hot water is needed. Joulia-Inline is sold with either 3 or 5 heat exchanger tubes, and Joulia-Twinline with 6 or 10 which you can select depending on whether maximum efficiency or minimal installation height is more important.
The Environmental Benefits
- •Thanks to the low building height the Solution can be placed in every shower floor and will work without any moving parts nor electricity
- •Save as much energy as 8 m2 (Joulia-Inline) or 15m2 (Joulia-Twinline) of solar panels would have to produce and this whilst showering
- •Certified for connection to drinking water in many European countries
- •The drain doesn't emit any CO2 in the atmosphere, doesn't use any electric energy, just works by water flow
- •Closing the last gap in the building envelop with Joulia shower drain channels with integrated heat exchangers
The Financial Benefits
- •Joulia saves up to 42% (Joulia-Inline) or 60% (Joulia-Twinline) of thermal energy
- •A 4-person household can recover around 1'000 kWh (Joulia-Inline) or 1'900 kWh (Joulia-Twinline) per year
- •The Joulia-showerdrain has a short payback time between 3 - 6 years (Joulia-Inline) or 1 to 8 years (Joulia-Twinline), depending on its usage and energy prices
