Hot water boosters for commercial kitchens

Image
  Commercial kitchens in places like restaurants, bars, and hotels require domestic hot water systems that work quickly and efficiently because business depends on it. In fast-paced environments where hygiene is of the utmost importance, a steady supply of hot water helps keep your kitchen and your dishes sanitary as you carry on with your busy day. A hot water booster is a small device installed directly on your waterline that provides additional hot water when your tank runs out. They are compatible with both electric and gas tanks, and they activate when they sense that your water temperature has dropped below a set temperature, providing you with an additional supply of hot water.  Hot water is essential to kitchen cleanliness and food safety standards for several reasons: Proper equipment sanitation: all dishware must be clean and sanitized in order to reduce the risk of foodborne illness. Bacteria live on dishes and it’s invisible to the naked eye, so the onl

What is energy recovery ventilation (erv)?

  Energy recovery ventilation (ERV) is one of the most energy efficient systems you can use with your HVAC control systems, especially in commercial buildings. When using a traditional HVAC control system, a large amount of the hot and cool air delivered to indoor spaces actually ends up outside via the air exhaust, the trash exhaust, and the bathroom vents, resulting in a lot of wasted air. ERVs, which continue to grow in popularity, recover some of the energy from the airstream delivered outdoors. ERVs connect to the ducts that are part of your existing HVAC systems, so they’re easy to install and don’t require much additional equipment. They also reduce the strain on your heating and cooling systems, and during the hot summer months ERVs can dehumidify and pre-cool your air supply before it enters your indoor space. Conversely, during the cold winter months, ERVs pre-heat the air by extracting heat from the warmer exhaust air before it’s expelled outside. One thing many people d
