DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6574335· OSTI ID:6574335

Retrofitting a laundromat to implement energy conservation is described. A network of water pipes was installed above the gas dryers to preheat the water before it goes into the gas water heater. Air recyclers for the stacks on the dryers were installed. A retrofit of commercially available pilot eliminators to the 22 dryers was accomplished by installing Ram pilot eliminators. Installation of a water saver system is description. Details of installing the high volume solar hot water system and results are described.
