So the shower drains through it and the 'wrap around' pipe is the input to your hot water tank?

No, it preheats the cold water connected to your shower. Warmer cold water means you need less hot water to achieve the same temperature in the shower.
Ah yes, that’s much neater and more localised. Thanks
