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).
