To achieve notable energy savings, it is recommended to incorporate heat recovery from kitchen appliances such as gas or electric dishwashers, steam cabinets, steamers, Chinese wok ranges, and stockpots, etc. This approach involves the installation of a heat recovery device, typically an additional enclosure positioned on top of the standard appliance. Within this device, heat-absorbing coils or exchangers are integrated to efficiently capture and circulate waste heat back into the process.

Different types of cooking appliances with heat recovery:
Commercial electric cooking equipment such as induction cookers are highly energy efficient. It will not generate excess heat and noise to the surrounding and less demand on the ventilation system. Heat and time control can be adjusted in multi-stage to enhance energy efficiency.

Consideration
Maximising the efficiency of the appliance by utilising the otherwise wasted heat.
Enabling the use of the recovered heat, resulting in notable energy savings. This approach contributes to reducing overall energy.
Minimising the cooling or heating load of the working environment.
Enhancing the thermal comfort of employees especially during hot weather.
Consider the factors that could affect the heat recovery systems such as efficiency, compact design, durability, maintenance, ease of installation, etc.
The added benefit of heat recovery technology is the reduced dissipation of waste heat into the kitchen environment, which can further enhance the working environment of the chefs and operators working in the kitchen.
