- They are also committed to reducing its environmental impact by implementing heat recovery technology to capture exhaust gas heat, providing hot water for cleaning.
- The Oven supplier having worked previously with Turnbull& Scott recognised our expertise in heat recovery units for bakery and roasting applications.
- Turnbull & Scott, already a trusted supplier selected the Exodraft range of heat recovery products, emphasising a longstanding collaborative relationship.
- Through these strategic investments and partnerships, the customer aims to enhance its operational efficiency and sustainability, reinforcing its dedication to environmental stewardship.
...to solve
- The Turnbull & Scott design team conducted a detailed analysis of customer’s operating data to understand the heat recovery potential of the exhaust gases.
- T&S used their proprietary in-house design software to accurately model the heat recovery capacity, optimising the system's efficiency.
- Three Exodraft Safe Plate products were selected as they are known for their reliability and effectiveness in heat recovery applications.
- These Heat Recovery units are designed to produce 15,575,040 litres of hot water, contributing significantly to energy savings.
- The implementation of the Exodraft Safe Plate heat recovery is expected to save 133,629kW of gas annually, aligning with the customer’s energy efficiency goals.
- Additionally, this initiative will reduce carbon emissions by 25 tonnes of CO2 each year, demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.
...to deliver
- The Safe Plates were delivered to the customer following the design process, marking the beginning of the installation phase.
- Turnbull & Scott also supplied In-line chimney fans, monitoring equipment and a control panel to the customer, ensuring flexibility and control within the heat recovery system.
- Installers and engineers from Turnbull & Scott collaborated closely with the customer, the oven manufacturer and a range of contractors, providing expert support during the installation and commissioning of the three Safe Plates, alongside the necessary fans and control systems.
- As a result of the coordinated efforts, the new ovens were equipped with an integrated heat recovery system and transitioned into production within just two months.
- The efficiency demonstrated by the heat recovery system has significantly impressed the customer, fostering their interest in incorporating similar systems in future ovens.
- Encouraged by the system's performance, the customer is now considering the possibility of retrofitting existing ovens with the same heat recovery technology, reflecting their satisfaction and trust in Turnbull & Scott’s solutions.
