An apparatus for pre-heating potable water in aircraft with waste heat includes an air to water heat exchanger (10) having a heat exchanger housing (12) with an inlet end (14) that receives heat from one or more of a galley insert exhaust air inlet, a galley appliance exhaust air inlet and an air chiller exhaust air inlet. A potable water supply inlet (30) supplies potable water to the air to water heat exchanger, which transfers heat to the potable water, and a potable water supply outlet (32) supplies heated potable water, such as to a galley insert or galley appliance, for example. An exhaust air outlet (26) vents cooled exhaust air from the air to water heat exchanger. |
