#BathME - #HabitatReStores: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

"Habitat for Humanity/7 Rivers Maine is a locally governed non-profit organization addressing the housing needs of low income families.

Our service area includes Lincoln and Sagadahoc Counties and the towns of Brunswick and #HarpswellME.

Proceeds from the ReStore support our affordable housing programs. In addition to selling affordable home improvement products to the public, the resale of unwanted building materials, appliances, furniture, and other items prevents tons of waste ending up in landfills each year.

Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) — Operating Principle

A recuperator (heat recovery unit) transfers heat from exhaust air to incoming fresh air without mixing the two streams.

---

How It Works

Two airflows:

Exhaust air (warm, from indoors)

Supply air (cold, from outside)

They pass through a heat exchanger:

separated by plates or channels

no direct mixing

heat transfers through the material (conduction)

Result: → supply air is preheated
→ exhaust air is cooled
→ overall heat loss is reduced

---

Types of Recuperators

1. Plate Heat Exchanger

aluminum or plastic plates

efficiency: ~60–90%

no moving parts

2. Rotary (Wheel) Heat Exchanger

rotating drum

transfers heat and some moisture

efficiency: up to ~85–90%

3. Counterflow Heat Exchanger

air streams move in opposite directions

highest efficiency: up to ~95%

---

What Is Transferred

heat (primary)

sometimes moisture (in enthalpy units)

---

Efficiency Example

outside: 0°C

indoor: +22°C

after recovery: ~16–20°C

---

Advantages

reduced heating energy demand

continuous ventilation without major heat loss

improved indoor air quality

---

Limitations

frost formation in winter (needs bypass or preheater)

filter maintenance required

upfront cost

---

Core Idea

A recuperator doesn’t generate heat — it recovers and reuses it.

This turned out to be kind of bizarre. There was an extremely slow seep from one of the kitchen sink shutoffs. Fair enough, the house is 40 years old, and it dates to when it was built. But it was one of those crappy gate-valve shutoffs, which I hate - they always leak, eventually - spend a few extra bucks and get ball valves. But no new-housing contractor is going to pay *anything* extra, just eats into the profit from the job bid...

It was seeping from the valve ... stem? Shaft? Dunno what to call it - the threaded rod that moves the gate open and closed when you turn the handle. It was seeping like a drop every few minutes, through the packing around that stem.

With the cabinet doors open, there was enough air circulation that it never accumulated anywhere - we're a dry climate, and evaporation took care of it. With the cabinet doors shut, drops would occasionally run down the pipe to the cabinet floor.

Nothing to Say

I’m down to the final minutes of my lunch break on this fine Friday afternoon. I am pretty exhausted from a lack of sleep over the past… month(s) but I’m hanging in there. I had some Purdue Popcorn chicken and some peanuts and some sugar free Hershey bites for lunch. I really want a drink of water but I still have to wait the better part of an hour before I am clear to drink anything. That’s a gastric bypass patient thing. If you know, you know.

Fed Ex delivered a package today. I am not home to get it, but it contains a new guitar pedal. If I read the amazon shipping notes correctly, it’s a compressor pedal. The first I’ve ever purchased. I have this weird idea of using cleaner guitar sounds for this year’s RPM Challenge in February and a compressor will be a part of that. I bought an MXR Dyna Comp because it’s super simple and it will let me squash my clean signal down to a delightfully mushy… mush. There are two more pedals coming over the weekend. One is a Flanger, the other is an Amp Sim. I don’t have room on my pedal board for any of these kiddos and I don’t have open slots on my power brick… so I am going to need to get creative, I think. It should be fun. I don’t think I bought a single guitar pedal during all of 2024. I know I bought a couple of microphones for band practices that haven’t actually happened yet, but no pedals.

There are a lot of tentative plans for the weekend. We may be messing with our living room and we may be going to some stores for research purposes. I hope to spend some time wandering around town taking pictures with my new/possibly antique (though probably not) camera. I got a gift card for the sugar free bakery in Salem, NH for xmas. I haven’t bought anything from them in about a month, but now I am definitely going back and getting some cookies. Good stuff.

What else… I thought there was something else… One of our cars is going to get a break job. That wasn’t the thing that I am forgetting though… am I going to go shopping for a new iPhone? That’s definitely on the to-do list before we go to Florida at the end of the month, but is it this weekend? I don’t know.

I have to start practicing the guitar. The band is hoping to reconvene (hopefully for real this time) at some point after this weekend. I need to get ready for that. Which guitar should I bring to the first practice? Probably the Les Paul Standard that my wife got me for my 50th birthday in 2021. I really dig that guitar.

I know I had something else I wanted to write about but it has slipped my brain entirely. Don’t get old, kids. This is what happens to you when you get old. Stay young for as long as you can. Unless you’re already old like me in which case… sorry, folks. We had a good run, I’m sure.
