INDUSTRIAL PROCESS HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATION IN GLASGOW
Irvine based Sigma Engineering Product Design Ltd provides our Sigma-designed and patented industrial process heat recovery systems which utilise HRV technology and could make all the difference in the indoor air quality your workers and customers breathe in.
PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
This unique system is so flexible and adaptable that it can combat ventilation and heat recovery issues in dirty airstreams in commercial, manufacturing and industrial environments. The Sigma HRV supplies 100% fresh filtered air and removes contaminated air while reducing heat loss. Simply put, it makes for a healthier environment while saving you money.
Our patented technology is built on the counter-flow principle, the most effective method of heat recovery there is. It creates a clean and comfortable environment for everybody.
Your one-off investment in Sigma HRV will dramatically cut the cost of ventilating your premises. This system has made a big difference to our clients in commercial kitchens, manufacturing and industrial processes. It is, in fact, suited to any environment where cost-effective ventilation or heat recovery is required.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The Sigma HRV system operates on a simple counter-flow principle:
​
-
Dirty air is extracted from the process and passed through sealed passages in the heat exchanger
-
At the same time, fresh cold air is also passed through adjacent passages
-
The hot air stream gives up heat to the cold air stream
-
The dirty cooled air is exhausted to atmosphere.​
​
THE RESULT
​
-
The fresh heated air is used in other parts of the process.
-
Both air streams are made to flow counter to each other along a tortuous, turbulent path without cross- contamination.

INDUSTRIAL HEAT RECOVERY
In energy-intensive facilities, large volumes of heat are often discharged as waste, yet this energy can be recovered and reused to support ventilation and process demands. At Sigma Engineering Product Design Ltd, we design high-performance heat recovery ventilation solutions that help commercial and industrial operators reduce energy consumption, lower carbon impact, and improve building efficiency. Working across Scotland, including Glasgow, our systems are engineered to deliver reliable, long-term benefits:
​
-
Reduced energy costs and carbon emissions
-
Consistent airflow and temperature control
-
Integration with existing industrial ventilation systems
-
Enhanced equipment longevity and operational reliability
BESPOKE VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Heat recovery ventilation for industrial processes must be tailored to the specific operational requirements of each facility, rather than relying on off-the-shelf solutions. We carefully assess process temperatures, airflow volumes, contamination levels, and duty cycles to deliver bespoke systems that integrate seamlessly with manufacturing, food production, and specialist processing environments. Our experience with complex airflow challenges, including high-demand kitchen ventilation, informs an approach focused on performance and compliance. The result is improved air quality, enhanced operational efficiency, and durable systems that support sustainable performance throughout their lifecycle.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is industrial heat recovery, and how does it work?
Industrial heat recovery captures waste heat from extracted air or processes and reuses it to preheat incoming fresh air or support other systems. This reduces energy demand while maintaining required ventilation rates.
​
Is heat recovery ventilation suitable for all industrial facilities?
Most industrial sites can benefit, but suitability depends on process temperatures, operating hours, and air quality requirements. We assess each project individually to ensure technical and commercial viability.
​
How does heat recovery ventilation support sustainability goals?
By reducing fuel consumption and associated emissions, heat recovery ventilation directly supports carbon reduction targets. It also improves overall energy efficiency without compromising operational performance.
​
Can heat recovery systems be integrated with existing ventilation?
Yes. Our systems can often be retrofitted or integrated with existing extract and ventilation infrastructure following a detailed assessment of capacity and layout.
​
Do you work with domestic customers?
No. Sigma Engineering Product Design Ltd works exclusively with commercial and industrial clients, delivering engineered solutions for high-demand environments.
