The Merlin 3000S is a state-of-the-art energy-saving gas interlock and demand-controlled ventilation system, specifically designed for commercial kitchens. This system automatically adjusts ventilation speeds based on real-time gas consumption, CO2 levels, smoke detection, and heat monitoring, optimizing airflow while reducing energy consumption.
Equipped with two built-in 0-10VDC outputs, the Merlin 3000S can dynamically control ventilation fans to provide the perfect cooking environment. As gas usage and CO2 levels rise, the system increases ventilation speed to maintain air quality. Conversely, during low gas usage, the system reduces fan speeds, saving energy and reducing operational costs.
The optical sensor detects smoke or steam buildup, while the duct-mounted heat sensor monitors excessive heat, ensuring optimal extraction rates. Additionally, the Merlin 3000S functions as a traditional gas interlock and pressure proving system, ensuring BS6173 compliance for kitchen safety regulations.
By integrating multiple gas sensors, methane, LPG, and CO detectors, and remote emergency shut-off buttons, this system enhances gas safety and minimizes ventilation noise, making it a powerful solution for modern commercial kitchens.
