Current System
Semi-warm water leaving pumps/entering cooling towers at 70-95° F and leaving cooling towers/entering pumps (for cooling) at 65-90°F
Cold water leaving pumps/entering underslab (for warming of ground)at 36° F and leaving underslab/entering pumps at 32°F
Currently, these two systems do not interact, other than through the pumps. However, the semi-warm water is only used to cool the pumps, and does not come into contact with the cold water at all.

RIT pays to cool down this water from 65°-90°F to 45°-55°F while…
…in the next room, we pay to heat up this water from 32° to 36°F
They are on two separate loops, never coming into contact, and energy is wasted moving their temperatures in opposite directions.

System Overview: Using Waste Heat for Heating
Take the output of this system (65-90°F)
And take the output of this system (32 °F)
And put them through a heat exchanger to utilize the waste heat/cold from one system to heat/cool the other system

Presented Design to Customer Customer thought it would be a great idea
for savings, but probably impractical unless the savings were immense.
Requires 400+ feet of piping 1-1/4” Lines◦ Also would require stronger pumps for underslab
