IMPROVE THE AIR QUALITY IN YOUR KITCHEN
Commercial kitchens are bustling and hot places that use large amounts of heat energy in the cooking process. During this process, dirty air along with heat energy is extracted through the canopy system and dumped into the atmosphere.
It is the air that is contaminated, not the heat.
Depending on the quality of the ventilation system, commercial kitchens can be hot In the summer while in the winter they can be very cold. The SigmaHRV can help to manage this dichotomy.

THE SIGMA HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATION (HRV) SYSTEM
The fact of the matter is that the heat energy generated in the cooking process can be reused in order to heat auxiliary processes and spaces. The patented Sigma Heat Recovery system can effectively recover and reuse this energy, which would otherwise be lost. Our system is able to perform to the highest standards in this environment without clogging (fouling). This will save you money and make your kitchen a far healthier, comfortable and safe environment.
HOW THE SIGMA HRV SYSTEM WORKS
Designed specifically for demanding commercial and industrial environments, our approach to commercial kitchen heat recovery focuses on capturing and reusing energy that would otherwise be lost through extract systems. In a busy kitchen, large volumes of warm, contaminated air are removed to maintain safe and comfortable working conditions. The Sigma Heat Recovery System intercepts this exhaust airflow and transfers the thermal energy to incoming fresh air, without mixing the air streams or compromising hygiene standards.
​
This process reduces the load on space heating systems while maintaining effective kitchen ventilation performance. Each kitchen heat recovery ventilation installation service is carefully engineered to suit the operational needs of the kitchen, ensuring consistent airflow, balanced temperatures, and reliable long-term operation.
​
Key stages of the process include:
-
High-efficiency heat exchangers that recover usable energy from extract air.
-
Electronically Commutated (EC) fan technology for precise airflow control and reduced energy consumption.
-
Intelligent system integration with canopies, ductwork, and each kitchen ventilation fan.
-
Bespoke design to suit specific layouts, cooking loads, and operational hours.
​
The result is a system that improves indoor air quality, enhances thermal comfort, and significantly lowers whole-of-life costs for commercial operators, all while meeting strict industry and environmental standards.
SYSTEMS BUILT FOR SUSTAINABILITY
At Sigma Engineering Product Design Ltd, environmental responsibility is central to how we design, manufacture, and deliver our systems. By recovering heat that would otherwise be expelled to the atmosphere, our systems directly reduce demand on boilers and heating plants. This leads to measurable energy savings and a smaller environmental footprint over the lifespan of the installation. Combined with our cutting-edge impeller design, EC fan technology, and robust manufacturing standards, Sigma systems deliver best-in-class efficiency and sustainability to organisations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is commercial kitchen heat recovery, and why is it important?
​Commercial kitchen heat recovery involves capturing waste heat from extracted air and reusing it to preheat incoming fresh air. This improves energy efficiency, reduces heating costs, and supports sustainability targets in high-demand kitchen environments.
​
Is heat recovery suitable for all commercial kitchens?
Most commercial and industrial kitchens can benefit, but suitability depends on cooking load, operating hours, and layout. Our experts assess each project individually to ensure the system delivers real performance benefits.
​
Will heat recovery affect kitchen air quality or hygiene?
No. Our systems are designed so that extract and supply air streams remain completely separate. This ensures excellent indoor air quality while maintaining strict hygiene and safety standards.
​
Can heat recovery systems integrate with existing ventilation?
In many cases, yes. Sigma systems can be designed to integrate with or upgrade existing kitchen ventilation infrastructure, subject to a site assessment.
​
Are Sigma systems suitable for domestic kitchens?
No. We work exclusively with commercial and industrial customers. Our systems are engineered for high-demand, non-domestic environments.
