In einem Umfeld, in dem Energieeinsparungen f\u00fcr Fachleute in der Gastronomie und Lebensmittelbranche zu einer Priorit\u00e4t geworden sind, ist die Optimierung Ihrer Kochger\u00e4te von entscheidender Bedeutung. Professionelle Gaskochbrenner, die lange Zeit mit einer Dauerz\u00fcndflamme oder einem permanenten Hilfsbrenner betrieben wurden, werden nun neu konzipiert, um den Anforderungen an die Energieeffizienz und die Senkung des Energieverbrauchs gerecht zu werden.<\/p>

The pilot light or auxiliary burner in permanent operation, although practical, consumes gas, even outside the cooking period. This energy waste is becoming remarkable for the profitability and environmental impact of professional kitchens. Fortunately, evolving technologies provide reliable solutions to eliminate this overconsumption, without compromising safety or performance.<\/p>

AEM Burner<\/a> has designed professional cooking gas burners<\/a> adapted to current needs in terms of consumption, safety and reliability, without forgetting to respect the suitability for the function. Thanks to available and in some cases associated technologies, it is now possible to significantly reduce operating costs while reducing the environmental impact of gas appliances.<\/p>

In this article, we explain why and how to reduce your gas consumption by rethinking the use of the permanent pilot light, the use of intermittent auxiliary burners, and what are the best alternatives available on the market?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The permanent pilot light is a small burner of 250W max that stays on continuously to facilitate the lighting of the main burner. If the power is more than 250W, it becomes an auxiliary burner. While this system has long been appreciated for a quick transition to maximum heating, it has the disadvantage of consuming gas throughout the service, even when the main burner is not in use. This unnecessary but constant consumption represents an average of 750 kW per year per pilot light, which directly impacts the operating costs of cooking. Knowing that a standard cooking appliance contains 5 night lights mostly.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Let’s take the example of a central kitchen equipped with 10 burners with a permanent pilot light. This represents an average of 750 kW per year. Depending on the type of gas used, this can reach an amount of several hundred euros. Knowing that the majority of burners in professional cooking are equipped with auxiliary burners with a power of more than 250W, the consumption is much higher. This simple observation shows that the permanent pilot light, in addition to being energy-consuming, is no longer adapted to the requirements of reducing CO2 emissions.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To suppress indirect ignition of a burner by a permanent pilot light or auxiliary burner, a direct flame monitoring system must be installed on the burner. If the technology used is the thermo-element of a manual safety device, it is preferable to combine it with a piezoelectric ignition, operated manually each time the burner is commissioned. Even more advanced is the automatic electronic flame controller that integrates spark train ignition and allows the combination of servos to reduce energy consumption. These technologies must be used wisely while respecting the suitability for the function. They also reduce the cost of manufacturing the gas appliance.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

AEM Burner<\/strong>, integrates these alternatives into its gas heating equipment for professional cooking and agri-food<\/strong>. For example, our range of automatic burners without a permanent pilot light, combined with servos to optimise the rational use of energy, enabled a school kitchen to reduce its gas consumption for cooking by nearly 15% in one year. This type of solution is perfectly adapted to the constraints of professionals, while respecting the gas and electrical safety standards in force.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Adopting professional cooking gas burners without a permanent pilot light allows a reduction in appliance costs and a significant reduction in energy consumption. It requires the user to adapt again and to change the habits of traditional cooking: the burner is lit only when the heating is needed. The automatic ignition and flame control technologies offer ergonomics that facilitate the operation of a gas appliance and better control of the rational use of energy, activating the burner only when necessary and for the most efficient applications, adapting the power according to the cooking process. The result: optimized energy efficiency and a quick return on investment.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Beyond the financial aspect, these modern burners also contribute to the reduction of the carbon footprint. Less gas burned unnecessarily also means less CO\u2082 emissions released into the atmosphere. This commitment to energy sobriety is fully in line with companies’ CSR approaches and compliance with current environmental regulations. Thus, the optimized burners offered by Br\u00fbleur AEM make it possible to reconcile performance, economy and suitability for function, while guaranteeing the safety and reliability essential in the professional environment. It is certain that to reduce the environmental impact even more, the use of biogas or hybrid gas + hydrogen, is the solution available today while perhaps waiting for 100% hydrogen operation.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
