Has anyone ever used a power steering cooler off of a boat as a water heater for an onboard shower? They are a fluid to fluid heat exchanger, so you would be running engine coolant through one side and water for the shower through the other.
Has anyone tried this? Would the shower water get hot enough, how much water flow can it handle and still be warm?
I know there are similar products out there that appear to be the same thing that are marketed as onboard shower systems.
If it will heat the water up enough, I'm probably going to use a bilge pump to move the water and a five gallon bucket as the resevoir. Haven't decided what to do for a shower head yet.
