Energy Efficiency: Extract Fans & Canopy Lighting

As part of our mission for increased sustainability, we are continuously looking at energy efficient products we can offer you to help save you money with your running costs.

Extract Fans

Wherever possible, we use extract fans with EC motors on our commercial kitchen ventilation systems, which combine AC and DC voltages for optimal performance. They run on DC voltage with a normal AC supply, allowing for intelligent speed control to reduce energy consumption.

Benefits of EC Motors on Extract Fans

  • Lower power usage & more efficient than AC equivalent.
  • Fully adjustable speed control, not affected by frequency. Can be configured for steady airflow or pressure, with 0-10VDC or PWM control signal.
  • Keep motor temperature low to ensure longer lifetime compared to AC equivalents
  • The motor has fully integrated electronic and power transformation
  • You can drive the speed up to 3600rpm with just one EC fan, replacing multiple types of motors (2, 4, and 6 pole)
  • No complicated wiring and set-up with a Frequency Controller, EC fans have very little configuration.
Extract Fan | Trivent Ltd UK

Wherever possible, we also try to use extract fans which are not belt driven, as these have proven to be less efficient than direct driven fans.

LED Canopy Lights

We use 5-7w fire rated LED canopy lights as standard, which not only provides the perfect level of brightness, but also helps to keep your energy bills down.

These lights have up to 50,000 LED lifetime, which reduces the need for frequent replacements and as they are IP65 rated, the LED canopy lights are protected against dust and water. 

Our LED canopy lights are fire rated and comply with Building Regulations Part B. They are suitable for 30, 60 or 90 minute fire rated ceilings (selected I-Joist ceiling construction 30 or 60 minute compliant).
