Applications
Select an application to see how EcoRec condensers address your specific water and heat recovery requirements.
Commercial and industrial fryer operations generate substantial water vapour laden with heat energy. Traditional ventilation simply exhausts this valuable resource to atmosphere. EcoRec direct contact condensers capture water vapour from fryer stacks, recovering both clean water and thermal energy. The recovered heat pre-heats incoming process water while reclaimed water reduces mains consumption — delivering measurable savings on utility bills.

Food Processing
Key advantages of EcoRec condensers for food processing water and heat recovery.
Water Recovery
Capture water vapour from fryer stacks, oven exhausts, and cooking processes — reclaiming clean water for reuse and dramatically reducing mains consumption and effluent discharge costs.
Heat Recapture
Recover latent heat from exhaust steam that would otherwise be lost to atmosphere. Pre-heat process water, space heating, or combustion air — cutting gas bills by up to 30%.
Hygiene Compliant
Full stainless steel 316 construction with optional CIP (Clean-in-Place) system meets food-grade hygiene standards. Self-draining condensate management prevents bacterial growth.
Smart Control System
Real-time monitoring with VSD-driven extraction fans automatically adjusts recovery rates based on production demand — maximising efficiency without disrupting downstream processes.
Compact Modular Design
Vertical footprint minimises floor space requirements. Modular construction enables easy installation into existing ventilation systems and future capacity expansion.
Corrosion Resistant
High-grade stainless steel tubes with optional corrosion-resistant coatings withstand the acidic conditions common in food processing exhaust streams for extended service life.
Your Condenser
Pays You Back
Built-in heat recovery captures waste energy from fryer and oven exhaust condensation and redirects it back into your facility — cutting gas bills and pre-heating process water.
Exhaust Heat Becomes
Free Hot Water.
Every EcoRec condenser recovers substantial thermal energy during exhaust condensation. Instead of venting fryer and oven heat to atmosphere, our integrated recovery system captures it and redirects it — pre-heating process water, feeding CIP wash systems, or supplementing space heating across your facility.
Recovered exhaust heat raises incoming water temperatures by up to 40°C — reducing boiler load and cutting gas consumption for cooking operations.
65–85°C hot water generated from waste heat for clean-in-place systems — eliminating the need for dedicated CIP water heaters.
Recovered heat warms combustion air entering baking ovens and dryers — improving thermal efficiency and reducing natural gas consumption by up to 25%.
Low-grade recovered heat feeds into building heating systems — reducing winter heating costs across production halls and cold storage areas.
