Abstract (en)
A device for recovering heat from shower water. The device comprises:- a pump which is configured to pump shower water from a drain of a shower;- a heat exchanger which is operatively connected to the pump for the purpose of recovering heat from the shower water supplied by the pump; and- a buffer vessel arranged between the pump and heat exchanger for the purpose of supplying the shower water to the heat exchanger in controlled manner, wherein the buffer vessel comprises:o a first wall and a side wall, wherein the first wall extends in a first plane, wherein the first wall and side wall define a buffer space which is configured to store shower water;o an infeed opening for receiving shower water in the buffer space, wherein the infeed opening is operatively connected to the pump;o an outfeed opening provided in the first wall for the purpose of discharging shower water to the heat exchanger in a first direction,o a restriction element arranged in front of the outfeed opening for the purpose of restrictively allowing the shower water to pass from the buffer space to the outfeed opening.
