Optimisation of the design of professional ovens
March 19, 20152015
The Centre for Industrial Diagnostics and Fluid Dynamics (CDIF UPC) collaborated with Josper® Forns Brasa, a leading company in the design and manufacture of charcoal ovens and in the sector of professional kitchen equipment for the hotel and catering industry.
The company specialises in manufacturing ovens, grills and other devices that run on charcoal.
CDIF UPC researchers worked with Josper ®, through its R&D department, to undertake experiments to characterise the operation of their ovens and to assess new designs and alternatives to optimise existing designs using computer simulation tools that enable further improvements in the safety of ovens for kitchen staff.
