The Heat Recovery System is the "circulatory system" of Project: Isidore. It is the complete network of ducts, pipes, and exchangers responsible for capturing 100% of the waste heat from the Server Room and distributing it to other systems.

It consists of two main loops:

1. Air Loop (Gaseous):

   * Source: Hot server fan exhaust.
   * Use: Ducted directly to the Waste Heat Food Dehydrator.

2. Liquid Loop (Hydronic):

   * Source: Hot liquid coolant from the server water-blocks.
   * Use: This coolant is pumped to a heat exchanger, where its thermal energy is transferred to:
       * The "hot side" of the Stirling Engine Array.
       * The aquaponics system (for winter heating).
       * The Central Thermal Battery (for long-term storage).
