About the Product:

VENTMISER is a patented eco friendly control device designed to save energy and reduce carbon emissions by precisely controlling ventilation fans and systems.

The unit is suitable for use in dwellings and commercial premises such as hotels.

Company: Ravenheat Manufacturing Ltd

Product: Energycatcher

Date: Spring 2008

Website: www.energycatcher.co.uk

Quote:"We first heard about the scheme via Construction Products Association’s weekly newsletter which included a link to the Innovate for Homes website."

About the Product:

ENERGYCATCHER delivers FREE domestic hot water by recycling presently wasted domestic gas boiler exhaust fumes, resulting in substantial quantities of literally FREE domestic hot water.

 

In most cases, SEDBUK Band ‘A’ condensing boilers operate with an average flue temperature of around 60OC. These flue gases are fed into ENERGYCATCHER where they flow over a heat exchanger transferring the heat of the flue gases into the domestic hot water circuit. This heat, now in the water moves under convection (mains pressure or a pump) into a thermal storage tank. The exhaust gases, now considerably cooler, then vent to atmosphere
