--- title: Restaurants and Fast-food franchises description: Swedish innovation Lepido is a heavy duty heat exchanger developed for polluted airstreams. It recovers waste heat from several industries including Restaurants and Fast-food franchises. image: https://hs.enjaysystems.com/hubfs/restaurant2.jpg --- # Restaurants and Fast-food franchises Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs), Buffets, Cafes, Bakeries, Pizzerias & more ![restaurant2](https://hs.enjaysystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/restaurant2.jpg?width=960&height=372&name=restaurant2.jpg) While heat exchangers that transfer warmth from one part of a building to another are already common in many industries, recovering energy from commercial kitchens is challenging as the hot air in the kitchens is full of grease and soot particles which usually stick on the surface of traditional heat exchangers and make it difficult to recover heat. As a result, the hot air produced during cooking processes is usually simply vented straight out of restaurants.    Lepido thrives in harsh commercial kitchen environments, recovering energy while allowing particles that would normally clog up the system, to simply pass through. With Lepido, your average restaurant can reduce its yearly CO2 footprint by around 40 metric tons. Imagine the impact it can have in larger establishments such as in fast food franchise chains! ![Without energy recovery (2)](https://hs.enjaysystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Without%20energy%20recovery%20(2).png?width=1200&height=627&name=Without%20energy%20recovery%20(2).png) Lepido is resilient against pollutants like grease, soot and particles and is suitable for diverse commercial kitchen applications as it seamlessly integrates into a Run-Around-Circuit, overcoming the Coanda effect. ![lepido - updated image](https://hs.enjaysystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/lepido%20-%20updated%20image.png?width=1200&height=858&name=lepido%20-%20updated%20image.png)  Lepido ensures optimal efficiency and is designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures. The recovered heat can be used to heat replacement air or returned to the process itself by preheating liquid/air. Lepido’s innovative design facilitates easy cleaning and no downtime which is especially important in the restaurant industry, where hygiene standards are stringent to ensure the safety and quality of food products and where there is immense pressure to stick to customer schedules. # Client Portfolio ![](https://hs.enjaysystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Client%20portfolio%20(1).png?width=1200&height=1200&name=Client%20portfolio%20(1).png) ![Copy of Type Food production industry Location Malm](https://hs.enjaysystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Copy%20of%20Type%20Food%20production%20industry%20Location%20Malm.png?width=1200&height=1200&name=Copy%20of%20Type%20Food%20production%20industry%20Location%20Malm.png) ![38-1](https://hs.enjaysystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/38-1.jpg?width=1200&height=1200&name=38-1.jpg) [See More Clients ](https://hs.enjaysystems.com/client-portfolio?hsLang=en) ![Client portfolio-2](https://hs.enjaysystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Client%20portfolio-2.png?width=1200&height=1200&name=Client%20portfolio-2.png) ![Client portfolio (5)](https://hs.enjaysystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Client%20portfolio%20(5).png?width=1200&height=1200&name=Client%20portfolio%20(5).png) ![Kopia av Segment till hemsida-1](https://hs.enjaysystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Kopia%20av%20Segment%20till%20hemsida-1.png?width=1200&height=1200&name=Kopia%20av%20Segment%20till%20hemsida-1.png) [Read product brochure ](https://www.enjaysystems.com/hubfs/LinkedIN%20PDFs/Brochure/Particle%20repellant%20Brochure%20Fast%20Food%20LD.pdf) Related Articles ![Neutral Minimalist Romantic Photo Collage (1)-min](https://hs.enjaysystems.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Neutral%20Minimalist%20Romantic%20Photo%20Collage%20(1)-min.png?width=2000&height=1600&name=Neutral%20Minimalist%20Romantic%20Photo%20Collage%20(1)-min.png) ## Why do restaurants in the coldest parts of Sweden pay half as much for their heating compared to restaurants in the UK?
