Save up to 60% energy costs and achieve B corp status with our demand control ventilation system for commercial kitchens.
Eco-air (DCV) optimises the operation of kitchen ventilation systems based on real time cooking activity. By adjusting the fan speed of exhaust and supply air, it ensures that ventilation operates only when needed, significantly reducing energy consumption during periods of low activity.
It does this by monitoring Carbon Dioxide (CO2) levels in the kitchen and temperature in the canopy. It can also be used with optical sensors for smoke & steam detection in the canopy, CO levels for solid fuel protection and gas consumption.
Actively managing the fan speed and ventilation during busy and low periods of cooking activity cuts down energy waste, reduces your carbon footprint and delivers cost savings.
Eco-air also acts as a commercial kitchen gas interlock, complying with BS 6173, providing an interlock between the ventilation and gas solenoid valve.
Upgrade your existing gas interlock by switching to the Eco-air for a combined-intelligent cost saving solution.
Sensors detect real-time cooking activity by monitoring temperature in the canopy and CO2 levels in the kitchen. As a result the system adjusts exhaust and supply fan speeds to match, so ventilation runs at full power only when the kitchen actually needs it. It can also operate with smoke/steam detection in the canopy using optical sensors and CO detection for solid fuel protection.
Yes, Eco-air is designed to work with existing kitchen ventilation; your contractor installs it to our specification and we carry out a Post Installation Warranty Check. It does not require replacing your canopy or fans.
No, provided it is correctly installed, commissioned and maintained. Demand-controlled ventilation adjusts fan speeds to match cooking activity while maintaining the required extract and make-up air. During periods of high demand, the system increases ventilation accordingly.
