  2. How to balance rising energy costs with profitability? Biggest energy users for restaurants*: Cooking: 45% of Natural Gas usage Water heating: 28% Space Heating: 27% Successful restaurateurs: using ingenuity to save energy *Managing Energy Costs in Restaurants (2010), retrieved11/17/2010 from: https://www.powerofaction.com/media/pdf/NGrid-P-8-Restaurants.pdf A Common Problem: Energy Consumption

  3. Dragon Fire Thermo Recovery Filters™ convert exhaust heat from your kitchen grill into energy for heating water or make-up air. Ingenuity Saves Energy

  4. Ingenuity Saves Energy: Dragon Fire Thermo Recovery Filters™ • Combination grease filter and heat reclamation device Converts up to 60% of exhaust heat into energy for heating water or make-up air • Replaces conventional grease filters

  5. Heat from the grill passes through Dragon Fire’s™ specially designed grease filter and over the Teflon® coated copper heat exchanger Heat is transferred to the water flowing through the heat exchanger’s tubing Pre-heated water is pumped to a water heater for final heating OR to an air handler for use in heating make-up air Dragon Fire preheated water:100° to 125°F=FREE HEAT How does it work?

  6. Superior grease collection: 2 filter stages trap more grease: lower emissions Liquefying action of heat exchanger sends more grease to the trough: less maintenance Exceeds UL requirements: collects 14 times more grease in the trough than the filter* What are the benefits? • * UL requirements stipulate that 4 times more grease must be collected in the trough versus the filter. UL testing for Dragon Fire Thermo Recovery Filters™ was conducted without water running through the heat exchanger. In further testing with unheated water running through the heat exchanger, the Dragon Fire Thermo Recovery Filter™ showed a grease collection ratio of 35 to 1 and higher).

  7. What are the benefits? • Durable Construction, Flexible Design • Heavy gaugestainless steel filter,baffles, and connectors • Teflon® coated copper heat exchanger • 3/8 in. NPT inlets and outletsallow for easy installation ofmultiple units • Available for retrofit or newconstruction

  8. What are the benefits? • Low-cost: DIY maintenance/cleaning • Teflon coated heat exchanger: non-stick for easy grease removal • Wash by hand or via high temp dishwasher • Quick connect heat exchanger hook-ups snap on|and off for easy removal, cleaning, and reconnection

  9. Green Water/Make-up Air Heating Technology Heats water or make-up air using only the heat produced from the cook line Environmentally sustainable, reduces energy usage, and saves money Excellent ROI: saves approx. $6,900/yr on water heating costs Quick installation payback: 2 years or less What are the benefits?

  10. Maximizes your energy dollars: recycles cooking exhaust into energy for heating. A cost-effective, eco-friendly solution with excellent ROI and payback Built to last for retrofit or new construction Superior grease collection, easy cleaning The hotter and busier the grill, the more savings!
