DUCT AIR BURNER/BLOWER

Blowers are used in restaurant equipment to diffuse heat, aid in convection, and circulate cold air. A blower is a centrifugal fan. It is a mechanical device for moving air or other gases. Blowers often contain a ducted housing to direct outgoing air in a specific direction or across a heat sink; such a fan is also called a "blower fan", or "squirrel-cage fan" (because it looks like a hamster wheel). These fans increase the speed and volume of an air stream through rotating impellers.

There are several types of burners that are used in restaurant equipment, including gas burners, electric burners, and induction burners. Gas burners are fueled by natural gas or propane and are commonly used in stoves, ovens, and grills. Electric burners are powered by electricity and are used in a variety of cooking equipment, including countertop griddles, woks, and induction cookers. Induction burners use electromagnetic fields to heat cooking vessels and are known for their energy efficiency and fast heating times.

An infrared burner works by focusing the flame of a standard gas burner onto a ceramic tile that has thousands of microscopic holes in it. This converts the heat of the flame into infrared energy.

Burners are an essential component of many types of restaurant equipment and are used to prepare a wide range of dishes, from simple sandwiches to complex multi-course meals.

A duct is a pipe, tube or channel which carries air, gas, exhaust, or liquid from one place to another. Ducts are commonly used to exhaust heat and fumes out of and away from commercial ovens, cooktops, condensing units, and other restaurant equipment.
