Project Info COMPLETE Project Title

Cheese Melter For Food Service

Project Number ET12SCE1040 Organization SCE End-use Process Loads Sector Commercial Project Year(s) 2012 - 2012
Description
Lab and field assessment of large quick service restaurant chain's new cheese melter. The existing cheese melters, consisting of two cavities, will be replaced by newer models that have one larger cavity. Existing cookie-cutter restaurants have two units for a total of four cavities. The new models will reduce the need to two cavities, while maintaining the total cheese melting capacity. The nominal rating of the new units is half of the baseline unit at 3.3 and 6.6 kW, respectively.
Project Results
Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Design and Engineering Services (DES) organization conducted this study in collaboration with SCE’s Foodservice Technology Center (FTC). This field study tests the energy savings and demand reduction potential of single-cavity compared to dual-cavity Taco Bell Cheese Melters.
