Demand Controlled Kitchen Ventilation Energy Saving System
The Merlin 3000S energy saving control system has been specifically designed for NEW and RETROFIT store applications, providing automated control over the ventilation system by adjusting exhaust and kitchen HVAC inlet air in response to the presence and level of cooking activity. Based on the temperature inside the exhaust hoods, the Merlin 3000S maximizes kitchen ventilation energy efficiency and reduces energy waste while improving kitchen comfort.

The 2023 commercial kitchen case study restaurant, carried out in Cambridge, sought to optimize energy usage and operational efficiency within their commercial kitchen environment. In pursuit of this goal, they collaborated with us to implement the Merlin 3000S energy-saving system. The below data has been recorded over a 12 month period and at the Cambridge site, only exhaust fan demand based control was implemented.
Predicted Energy Saving (Annualized): 6,795 kWh
Predicted Average Load Reduction: 39.8%
Measured Energy Saving (Annualized): 6,675 kWh
Measured Average Load Reduction: 39.1%
Measured Result as Percentage of Expected: 98.2%
The implementation of the Merlin 3000S yielded significant financial benefits:
Annualized Financial Benefit: £1,909.05
Unit Rate Used for Modeling: 28.6p/kWh
