Trans Fats and Fryers

• Natural Gas fired Low Oil Volume Fryers are being
  tested and commercialized
• Uses less oil per year
• More Energy Efficient

11
Combination Ovens

• Combination Oven Steamers
• Boilerless
• Faster precise cooking
• Automatic cook features

12
Dishwashing

• Booster Water Heaters increase hot water
  temperature from 140oF to 180oF
• The Benefits are Crystal Clear
• Lower operating costs
• Clean, properly sanitized dishes with no
  unsightly lipstick residue or dried water spots
• Shorter drying time
• Safer eliminates wet, slippery floors
• Less wear-and-tear on dishwashing equipment
• due to re-washing and chemicals
• Environmentally friendly
• Improved profitability

13
Additional Seating

• Patio Heaters offer a way for restaurants to
  increase seating with outdoor dining
• Becoming more and more popular

14
Humidity Control

• Dehumidification
• Humidification

15
Dehumidification

• Proper humidity levels help control grow of
  bacterial and mold and can reduce the spread of
  viruses such as influenza
• Winter dryness causes cracked lips, dry skin, and
  bloody noses
• People feel more comfortable at proper humidity
  levels
• Save energy required for cooling
• Helps reduce/eliminate the need for sub-cooling
  and re-heating

Dry Desiccant Wheel or Liquid Desiccant Systems
are commercially available
16
Indoor Restaurant Comfort

• Dehumidification
• Reduce growth of disease-causing microbes
• Control odors, mold and mildew
• Eliminate condensation
• Increase diner, employee and chef comfort
• Prevent damage to furnishings, carpeting, tiles,
  and other building materials
• Novelaire unit installed in several
• restaurant chains in Florida

17
Why Humidification?

• Improve indoor air quality for a healthier
  environment and reduced absenteeism
• Reduce manufacturing problems
• Eliminate static electricity
• Increase employee
• comfort and productivity
• Preserve artifacts, art
• work, and books

18
Back-up Power Equipment

• Back-up Generation
• Dependable keeps you in business
• Reliable works the minute electric service is
  interrupted
• No refueling required
• No unsightly storage tanks
• Safe

19
Other technologies New ways to use existing
technologies

• Radiant floor heat
• Snow melting (sidewalk, stationary systems, or
  plane de-icing)
• Construction heat
• Thermal remediation
• Forklifts

20
Radiant floor Heating

• Radiant floor heating can be used in residential,
  commercial, or industrial applications
• Piping / material are fairly inexpensive
• Uses a boiler to run hot water PEX tubing

21
Snow / Ice Melting

• Radiant
• Sidewalks
• Helipads
• Emergency Entrances / Driveways / Ramps
• Football Fields / Golf Courses
• Stationary Systems
• Municipalities
• Campus settings
• Air Craft De-icing

22
Aircraft De-icing Video
23
Construction heating

• Ground thawing
• Masonry work
• Concrete Pours/ Curing
• Dry walling

24
Thermal Remediation

• Hottest new solution for insect infestation
• A clean and friendly alternative to chemicals
• Heat entire facility/area up to 120oF and hold
  temperature for several hours
• Proven technology with years of industrial
  success
• Widespread applications in industrial and
  commercial facilities

25
Fork lifts

• Convert Propane to Compressed Natural Gas
• Improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
• Improve safety
• Save money ( 50)
