Heat Recovery Dishmachines and Heat Pump Water Heaters: The Hidden Keys to a Zero Net Carbon Kitchen

Thursday, August 19th, 2021
10:00 am - 11:00 am

The California Energy Commission is currently pursuing many programs which are aimed at decarbonizing our energy infrastructure. The commercial foodservice industry has begun to do its part by adopting efficient electric cooking equipment - most recently with the advent of popular induction cooking. In this presentation, participants will learn how the foodservice industry can take an important next step towards a zero net carbon kitchen and address one of its biggest barriers: the gas-fired hot water system. Topics covered will include how heat recovery dishmachines can allow operators to use currently-available electric heat pump water heaters, and how these technologies can make electric water heating cost-effective for restaurants in California.

Participants will be able to:

• Describe the water and energy savings associated with heat recovery dishmachines
• Understand the benefits of using heat pump water heaters in commercial foodservice
• Understand how heat recovery dishmachines and heat pump water heaters can make each other cost effective
