A hot water pressure washer employs an internal combustion engine with a drive shaft having an exhaust manifold fluidly connected to an exhaust water heat exchanger. The engine is driveably connected to a hydrodynamic heater, and a high-pressure pump for generating a stream of high-pressure fluid. The hot water pressure washer captures 80-90% of the thermal energy generated during combustion processes of the engine for heating water.

A hydrodynamic heater pump may include a housing and a stator fixed relative to the housing. A rotor may be coaxially aligned with and positioned adjacent the stator. The rotor and the stator define an interior region of a hydrodynamic chamber operable for heating a fluid present within the interior region of the hydrodynamic chamber. The rotor may be attached to a drive shaft for concurrent rotation therewith. The rotor may be moved axially along an axis of rotation of the drive shaft between a pumping mode position and a heating mode position. The rotor may be located a first distance from the stator when arranged in the heating mode position and a second distance from the stator when arranged in the pumping mode position. The second distance may be greater than the first distance.
