[edit] Shower science

Shower science: scientific research or empirical study to discover all the laws governing the operation and practical use of any showering system being domestic, commercial, military, aerospace, hybrid or other.

It was found that only one energy saving "hybrid showering system" could save the energy that a small town uses for its lights to be left on.

The practical laws that govern "extreme waste" in contemporary showers was perhaps first radically investigated by Michael Vittorio Collalto who in the period during 1986 and particularly from 1994 onwards set about materializing what has become this worlds first "hybrid shower" system.

Gradually incorporated as a research facility, it was used to test the hypothesis amongst others that the domestic shower seemed to be no better than an efficient "cooling tower", amazingly adverse to the aim of providing a warm or hot environment.

(used to cool water in order to improve the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle in larger applications. e.g. commercial buildings.)

The problem has persisted that according to this discovery, although it is desirable to recover heat from any showering system and other systems like the kitchen sink, most of the thermal potential in thermally primitive showering systems is removed well before the water reaches the drain where any substantially meaningful recovery can occur.

Typically, most of the thermal energy is lost to the surrounding air and various physical masses well before reaching the drain and is difficult if not impossible to recover. (Tiles, concrete shower base, glass, metal fixtures)

Heat exchanger technology is still very desirable for applications that are not subject to the considerable thermal losses occurring before the waste water reaches the drain. The kitchen sink for instance.

Other means can be used as a "first step" to optimize the shower to function hydraulically, thermally, and pneumatically, as efficiently as possible, and then heat exchanger technology is very desirable and should be employed to increase efficiency further still if resources or emissions are still a concern.

Combinations such as these are a very powerful, and ultimately deliver a better shower system!
