    Coaxial Heat Exchanger
    I would like to construct a coaxial heat exchanger using copper pipe and possibly copper tubing. My intent is to use the exchanger to recover heat from my AC compressor to heat / pre-heat domestic hot water.

    I would appreciate any ideas or techniques that other members may have on how to accomplish this with common and reedily available plumbing and AC components.
