Exhaust Hood Heat Recovery. Heat recovery for kitchen
exhaust hoods should only be considered for commercial size
kitchen when life cycle cost effective and when building design
cannot meet the energy budget. Manufactured heat recovery
modules for commercial size kitchen hoods are available. These
modules typically use a heat pipe method of heat recovery, but
several configurations are available. Also, heat exchanger
equipment should be located at ground level for easy access to
inspect, maintain, and remove for shop cleaning. The key
variable for heat recovery feasibility is hours of operation. An
intermittently used exhaust may not have sufficient operating
hours for heat recovery to be cost effective.
