Heat Recovery: How It Works
How HotSpot Makes Free Hot Water

HotSpot recovers concentrated high temperature heat from your compressors' condenser discharge circuit and pumps the recovered heat directly into a hot water tank.

Below is a standard topology that shows the HotSpot unit connected to an existing hot water tank (pump, controls & special fittings are not shown). The HotSpot unit uses the recovered heat to keep the water temperature above the tank's thermostat set-point so that the tank heating element or burner does not need to operate.

Dealers & Distributors
Become A Dealer/Partner

HotSpot is interested in working with new dealers, distributors and integrators in North America, Central America, South America, Africa, and the Middle East.

HotSpot primarily works with partners who are involved in HVAC or commercial refrigeration, solar power/energy services providers, and swimming pool dealers/service companies.

HotSpot will also consider Sales Representatives or Independent Sales Agents as partners in certain areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

HotSpot Heat Recovery Water Heater

How much can I save?

Depending on your location and usage patterns, with air conditioning it is possible to achieve savings of 98% on annual water heating costs, with 70% being a more typical number. If you are connecting HotSpot to a persistent cooling load unaffected by weather such as a walk-in cooler or freezer, display cooler or freezer, commercial kitchen air conditioner, or server room air conditioner, the savings can be up to 100%. Usually the profit/savings on this investment is 40% to 60% (rate of return) with a complete payback in 2-3 years or less.

The HotSpot is a relatively low cost device that captures the high temperature waste heat that your refrigeration, freezer or air conditioner compressor discards, and recycles it into your hot water tank. It makes a lot of free hot water. Click for a detailed explanation of the HotSpot heat reclaim unit.

It is possible for the HotSpot unit to heat water up to 180 ºF or more with 130 ºF more typical, depending on the type of compressor/refrigerant used. Unless deliberately bypassed, the controls will limit the water temperature to 140 ºF to prevent scalding and/or comply with local plumbing code.

HotSpot production will vary with the size of your system (how many tons or BTU of compressor capacity), the system duty cycle, hot water usage patterns, the type of refrigerant used (R22, R410A, R134 etc.) and the starting water temperature from the water supply. Typical residential systems will make between 50 and 150 gallons per day, while commercial systems can make from 150 to 10,000 gallons or more of hot water per day. Thermodynamics is a well established science and an accurate projection can be easily calculated after obtaining your specific information. See HotSpot hot water production data.

HotSpot remote heat recovery can be used with all refrigeration systems using reciprocating, rotary, or screw type compressors including the newer BLDC (variable capacity) compressors. HotSpot is not designed to work with absorption chillers that use a cooling tower. Applications include hotels, restaurants, grocery stores, hospitals, schools, food processing, health clubs and residential use.
