Over what period of time?

If you meant kWh then your claim sounds implausible, given that water has a molar heat of vaporization of 40.7 kJ/mol. Your heat recovery would have to be better than 99.5%.

Why should the type of energy be a factor? Is a kWh of wind power somehow different from a kWh from a coal-fired station?

Preventable maintenance?

I take it that you're talking about the "Passarell" Process. Have you actually built one yet?
