RE:Epri
Hi, can you please sharce the link for the video?
The only thing I found was the following:

An average person uses 60 gallons of water per day, 50% of which is heated and goes down the drain. Sharc Energy aims to capture this wasted heat and recycle it. Sharc Energy’s Piranha product line is a self-contained central heat pump system that uses a specifically designed direct expansion heat exchanger to extract thermal energy from a building’s wastewater for domestic hot water production. By capturing and reusing this waste heat, the heat pump operates at high efficiencies of more than 5.0 COP. The goal of the project was to demonstrate the performance of this new heat recovery heat pump with beneficial air conditioning to quantify the overall energy savings and the associated GHG reduction. The project occurred in North Vancouver, British Columbia, at a 60-unit apartment complex. To date, the Piranha HC has been successfully running for three months and has demonstrated the capacity to completely offset the natural gas boilers. The next steps for this technology are further demonstrations with an independent evaluation to quantify the performance of this technology over a longer period. Additionally, it would be beneficial to explore different types of sites such as larger apartment buildings, laundromats, and commercial kitchens.
