Principal Of Operation • The system comprises of a Bespoke Extract Canopy and Duct Heat Recovery System. • The patented system comprises of a Gas to Fluid (Air to water) heat exchanger. • Heat collected is transferred into a thermal Store. • This Energy is then used to pre-heat the cold mains supply water supply to feed dish washers, conventional hot water cylinder and / or combination boiler for heating or LPHW heater batteries.
Design of Heat Exchanger • The heat exchanger has been designed into the canopy and ductwork. • The heat is transferred in an inherently safe environment out side the contaminated air flow. • No heat exchangers within the canopy or ductwork – leaving no obstructions for inspection and cleaning. • No obstructions in the extract system – no effect on extract rates.
Explanation of Graph 1 • Graph number 1 S1 shows a temperature elevation of 19C over 6 hours from 20C to 39C. • S2 Shows the flow temperature from the canopy to the 300lt thermal store achieving 49C over the same duration. • These temperatures have been taken from only 24kw input from the test rig.
Explanation of Graph 2 • Here we ran 100lt of water off to waste every 30 minutes to simulate a working kitchen. • As you can see there was a steady rise in temperature during this process. • We collected 1.83kwh per hour with an input of 24kw LPG gas burner and copper sheet collection area of only 1.28m2 on the canopy and a duct collector area of 1.1m2
