Smart gas applications for professional kitchens

Kiwa’s Combustion & Advanced Testing (CAT) team develops and optimizes professional gas appliances for large kitchens, catering companies and industrial kitchen environments. With many years of experience and our advanced laboratory facilities we help you design appliances that perform better, are more robust and achieve higher efficiency.

Our expertise includes:

  • Development of large kitchen appliances such as combi steamers, rotisserie ovens, steam cooking kettles and stoves
  • Optimization of existing appliances for efficiency, lifetime, production costs and dimensions
  • Adaptation of products to applicable regulations such as the Gas Appliance Regulation (GAR) and international standards such as CSA and ANSI

 

Four-step development process

In a development project we typically follow these four steps:

    Defining the scope

    Together with the customer we define the scope of the project, including relevant regulations, market developments and technological innovations that can make the appliance more efficient, robust or cost-effective.

    Concept development and selection

    We generate several concepts that match the customer’s needs. The most suitable concept is selected and developed into a functional model to demonstrate its operation.

    Building and testing the functional model

    The functional model is built by the customer, our workshop or a third party. Kiwa configures and tests the model in the gas laboratory, performs optimizations and ensures that it is safe, reliable and energy-efficient.

    Verification and market-ready product

    The proven concept is integrated into the final product by the client. Kiwa performs a final verification in the laboratory and can conduct accelerated lifetime testing if desired. This ensures the product can confidently be submitted for certification and market introduction.

Customer result

Upon completion the customer receives a proven reliable and efficient product ready for certification by a Notified Body and market introduction. With our support you can develop new appliances or improve existing ones so they meet the highest standards for energy efficiency, safety and robustness.
