Restaurants are a thermodynamics gold mine of energy savings. In a classic “thermodynamics unaware” kitchen, every component of the kitchen actively fights against the HVAC units and against each other. Kitchens tend to be very hot and the maintenance issues are constant, with each piece of equipment possibly having a different company servicing it. They are also much noisier because of the excess of forced air.
By redesigning the complete thermal profile of a facility from the ground up as an intelligent unified network, it is better able to move heat to where it needs to be. The fundamental trick is that moving heat can be as much as 500 percent or even more efficient than generating it from scratch through resistive heating or carbon intensive fossil fuels.
Our proprietary Thermal Network Router is able to concentrate low-grade heat in to high grade heat as well as move either grade of heat to or from wherever it needs to be in the facility-be it cooking surfaces, hot racks, waffle makers, deep friers, heated cabinets, walk-ins, reach-ins, ice makers, and more. We retrofit or replace all equipment wherever possible in order to achieve unbelievable thermodynamic efficiency–and not just for fun. Without a complete thermodynamic redesign, it is physically impossible to power a restaurant on rooftop solar alone, and that is our goal: a thermodynamically and electrically independent facility with dramatically reduced operating costs, maintenance costs, and downtime.
Thermal Networking Solutions is currently seeking partners for pilot locations in the state of Oklahoma. For a completely free thermodynamic audit and report, please send an email to auditme@thermalnetworksolutions.com and we will reach out to you as soon as we can to set up an appointment.
