An EPDM rubber tube mat (trade name - Sola Roll) was used as a heat exchanger to trap heat being vented through the dryer exhaust pipes at the Friendship St. Laundramat. Results of studies are presented. A savings of 54.4% on fuel oil usage was obtained during a full year's trial of the system. The waste heat was used to heat water for the washing machines. 5 figs., 1 tab. (DMC)
