5 Executive Summary The Ovention M1718 Matchbox oven is carving out its own niche in the commercial cooking industry by offering high productivity in a small footprint combining attributes of conveyor ovens and rapid cook ovens. The M1718 Matchbox oven uses a bidirectional conveyor to slide food into and out of the cooking cavity located in the center of the oven. The oven uses two separate cooking platforms on opposite sides of the cooking cavity exposing one cooking platform for food preparation while the other is cooking. Once a menu item is selected, the platform holding the uncooked food automatically slides into the cooking cavity and exposes the opposite platform to the operator. The Ovention oven utilizes 9.15 kw of rated power to cook pizzas, sandwiches, and pastries. Dual touchscreen digital control panels on the left and right side of the oven allows programming for each respective cooking platform to select the proper menu items. The Food Service Technology Center tested the Ovention M1718 for preheat time and energy consumption, idle energy consumption rate, cooking-energy efficiency, and production capacity using a modified version of the ASTM F Standard Test Method for Performance of Rapid Cook Ovens 1. Although the Ovention Oven is closer in design to a conveyor oven, its small batch cooking style more closely resembles that of rapid cook ovens than the continuous cooking conveyor ovens. The stringent test procedure uses consecutive loads of pizza to accurately calculate production capacity as a performance measure. The Ovention Matchbox oven performance was characterized by following the barrel load pizza test from the ASTM test method. Each barrel test consisted of eight loads (one 12-inch pizza per load) cooked one after the other in rapid succession. The Ovention M1718 oven achieved a cooking-energy efficiency of 32.3% while producing 44.0 lbs. of cooked pizza per hour in single platform mode and a cooking-energy efficiency of 32.8% and 56.7 lbs. of cooked pizza per hour in double platform mode. The preheat time and energy necessary for the oven to reach a ready-to-cook state of 500 F from room temperature was 16.6 minutes and consumed 1.84 kwh. The idle energy rate of the oven at an operational temperature of 500 F was 2.24 kw. A summary of the test results and comparison between single and double cavity mode cooking is presented in Table 1. Figure 1: Page 5 of 24

7 Introduction Background Ovens are one of the most utilized pieces of equipment in foodservice operations and come in a wide array of designs that have adapted to ever-evolving culinary technologies. Rapid cook ovens and conveyor ovens are two specialty appliances currently on the market, each having established integral roles for varying menu types. Rapid cook ovens employ a combination of technologies to produce hot food quickly, while maintaining a small footprint. Typically rapid cook ovens are used as batch cookers, or an appliance that cooks only one type of food product at a time. Conveyor ovens feature a constantly moving belt that transports food through an open heated cavity, which yields very high production rates. Both types of equipment have specific advantages that operators desire, and new ovens are continually being developed to meet the demand of the consumer while also being energy conscious. The Ovention M1718 Matchbox oven combines both rapid cook hot air impingement technology and a bidirectional conveyor slide food in and out of the cooking cavity automatically. While one food item is being cooked in the oven, the other cooking platform is exposed to the operator on the opposite side and can be used to prep the next item. Dual touchscreen digital control panels on the left and right side of the oven allows programming for each respective cooking platform to select the proper menu items. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) test method characterizes the performance of rapid cook ovens specifically but the test method can also be applied to other similar ovens as a means to measure the performance of the appliance. Although the Ovention Oven is closer in design to a conveyor oven, its small batch cooking style more closely resembles that of rapid cook ovens; therefore ASTM Performance of Rapid Cook Ovens was used ti evaluate the energy and cooking performance of the oven. The glossary in Appendix A is provided so that the reader has a quick reference to the terms used in this report. Objectives The objective of this report is to examine the operation and performance of the Ovention Matchbox M1718 oven under conditions specified in the ASTM test methods. The scope of this testing is as follows: 1. Verify that the oven is operating at the manufacturer s rated energy input. 2. Determine the time and energy required to preheat the oven from room temperature to a readyto-cook condition. 3. Calculate the oven s idle energy rate while maintaining a ready-to-cook condition. Page 7 of 24

8 4. Determine the oven s cooking energy consumption, product cook time, and recovery time using refrigerated par-baked 12" cheese pizzas as the test product. 5. Calculate the oven s cooking energy rate, cooking-energy efficiency, and production capacity. 6. Estimate the annual operating cost for the oven using a standard cost model. Equipment Description The Ovention Matchbox oven uses a gear driven conveyor to slide food into and out of the cooking cavity. While one food item is being cooked in the oven, the other cooking platform is exposed on the opposite side and can be used to prepare the next menu item. Once the menu timer has elapsed, the cooked food is automatically slid out of the oven, and the prepared item slides into the oven for cooking. Cooking is done in the cavity using hot air impingement technology powered by a heating element and fan in the back. The M1718 oven is rated at 9.15 kw of power. Dual touchscreen digital control panels on the left and right side of the oven allows programming for each respective cooking platform to select the proper menu items. The dual platform of the Matchbox oven allows the user to cook a variety of food items by quickly changing the cavity temperature and allowing the user to adjust the cook time and the amount of top and bottom impingement air.

9 Methods and Results Setup and Instrumentation FSTC researchers installed the oven on a tiled floor under a four-foot-deep canopy hood, which operated at a nominal exhaust rate of 300 cfm per linear foot. The hood was mounted six feet, six inches above the floor, with at least six inches of clearance between the vertical plane of the oven and the hood s edge. All test apparatus were installed in accordance with Section 9 of the ASTM test method. Table 3 lists the equipment used to measure the oven s temperature and energy. To measure temperatures in the oven, engineers used Type-K thermocouples with a welded junction. Three thermocouples were used to monitor the temperatures inside of the. One was placed in the geometric center of the cooking cavity and two other thermocouples were placed on each of the cooking platforms. Thermocouples were strategically placed in the oven avoiding contact with any of the side walls, food product, and did not cause obstruction to the conveyor movement. Electrical power and energy were measured with a true energy meter that measures real time voltage and amperage that outputted a pulse for every 7.5 Wh consumed. The energy meter and thermocouples were connected to a data logger which recorded data every five seconds. Table 3: Testing Equipment Inventory Description (ID) Manufacturer Model Measurement Range Resolution Calibration Date Next Calibration ALC301 Energy Meter Electro Industries Shark A 75A 7.5 W 12/12/ /12/2013 ALE503 Digital Scale Acculab SVI-20B 0 44 lb 0.05 lb 12/11/ /11/2013 Measured Energy Input Rate Test Rated energy input rate is the maximum or peak rate at which the oven consumes energy, as specified by the manufacturer. Measured energy input rate is the maximum or peak rate of energy consumption which is recorded using FSTC s equipment during a period when the heating elements are fully energized (such as preheat or cooking). The measured energy input rate for the Ovention oven was taken from a single one and half minute test during the cook cycle, while the fan and elements were fully energized. This procedure ensured that the oven was operating as the manufacturer intended with the measured input rate within ±5% of its rated energy input rate. The energy input rate was determined to be 9.14 kw (a difference of 0.2% from the nameplate rating). Table 4 summarizes the results from the input test. Page 9 of 24

10 Table 4: Energy Input Rate Rated Energy Input Rate (kw) 9.15 Measured Energy Input Rate (kw) 9.14 Percentage Difference (%) 0.16 Preheat Test After the oven set point had been determined by setting the oven to average an internal cavity temperature to 500 F, using the installed thermocouples, the oven was allowed to cool overnight to room temperature. The preheat test was then performed on the following day by recording data immediately as the oven was first turned on, so any time delay before the powering of the heating elements was also included in the test. The oven was preheated from room temperature (75 ± 5 F) to the 500 F ready-to-cook state using the calibrated set point temperature previously determined. Over the course of the preheat test, the oven reached a ready-to-cook state in 16.6 minutes while consuming kwh. Figure 3 illustrates the temperature profile while the oven preheated to the calibrated setpoint of 500 F. Figure 3: Preheat Characteristics to 500 F Table 5 summarizes the results from preheat tests. Page 10 of 24

Time and energy consumption were monitored over a 120 minute period to determine the idle energy rate. The idle energy rate of the oven was 2.24 kw. Figure 4 shows the idle characteristics for the oven.

12 Cooking Tests Researchers at the Food Service Technology Center conducted tests on the according to ASTM standard F , using an average cavity temperature of 500 F to determine cookingenergy efficiency, cooking energy rate, and production capacity when cooking eight consecutive loads of 12- inch cheese pizzas. Pizza Cooking Tests To determine the cooking-energy efficiency, cooking energy rate, and production capacity of the Ovention oven, cooking tests were performed using eight consecutively loaded 12-inch par-baked cheese pizzas. The pizzas were stabilized in a refrigerator at 39 F and then cooked to an average temperature of 195 ± 3ºF. The first pizza load was used to stabilize he oven. Data was collected throughout the entire barrel load test of 8 consecutive pizzas but only the data collected for the last seven loads were used in calculating cooking-energy efficiency, cooking energy rate, and production capacity results. After each pizza was removed from the oven, six temperature probes were placed evenly spread out about the pizza to measure the hottest average temperature of that particular pizza, see Figure 5 below for a picture of the test set up including the thermocouple probes that were used to measure the average final temperature of the pizzas. Figure 5: Test Set up for Pizza Cooking Tests on the Ovention M1718 oven Page 12 of 24

13 The overall average among the final seven final pizza temperatures was determined to be 195 ± 3 F. During the test, pizza weights were measured immediately before being placed into the oven and after the pizzas were monitored for temperature. Between each barrel load test of eight pizzas, the oven was allowed to stabilize for an interval of at least ten minutes between each subsequent test replicate. Due to the M1718 oven s unique design, cooking tests were performed under two different modes of cooking. The first mode, titled Single Platform mode, utilized only one of the cooking platforms, where a new pizza was loaded onto the same cooking platform after the cooked pizza had been removed allowing the test method specified 15 second gap between loads. The second mode titled Double Platform mode utilized both cooking platforms and deviated from the test method by allowing for a minimal time gap between cook cycles by loading the opposite platform while one was already cooking. As one cooking platform finished cooking and exposed cooked pizza, the uncooked pizza followed into the oven immediately. Following the test method, pizzas were only removed from the refrigerator for a maximum of one minute before cooking. Cooking-energy efficiency is a measure of how much of the energy that a piece of equipment consumes is actually delivered to the food product during the cooking process. Cooking-energy efficiency is therefore defined by the following relationship: Cooking-energy efficiency Table 7 summarizes the performance of the Ovention M1718 oven cooking 12-inch cheese pizzas under both modes. Further details can be found under the Summary Report on page 20.

14 Energy Cost Model The ASTM test method results can be used to estimate annual energy consumption for the Ovention M1718 Matchbox oven in a real-world operation. Based on the ASTM preheat, idle, and heavy-load cooking test results, FSTC engineers developed a simple model to calculate the relationship between the various cost factors (e.g., preheat, idle, and cooking costs), then used that model to estimate the oven s annual operating costs. Table 8 shows the assumptions for the oven s daily operation. Table 8: Daily Operation Assumptions Operating Time per Day (h) 8 Operating Days per Year (day) 365 Number of Preheats per Day 1 Total Amount of Food Cooked per Day (lb) 50 Based on the assumptions above, total daily energy consumption was determined by adding the daily cooking, idle, and preheat energy consumed: Where: E daily = Eh Ei np Ep Edaily = Daily energy consumption Eh = Daily energy imparted to food Ei = Daily energy consumed during idle np = Number of preheats per day Ep = Daily energy consumed during preheat A more detailed explanation of this formula is illustrated below: Where: E W PC daily = qh q, i t on W PC np tp np Ep 60 Edaily = Daily energy consumption W = Pounds of food cooked per day PC = Heavy-load production capacity q,h = Cooking energy rate q,i = Idle energy rate Page 14 of 24

15 ton = Total time the equipment is on per day np = Number of preheats per day tp = Duration of preheat (in minutes) Ep = Daily energy consumed during preheat Assuming the oven cooked 200 lb of pizzas over a 12-hour day, operated 365 days a year, and one preheat per day, it is estimated that the oven would consume 8,490 kwh annually. Using a rate $0.10 per kwh, the total estimated operational cost of the Ovention M1718 oven is $849 per year. Table 9 summarizes the annual energy consumption and associated energy cost for the oven under this scenario. Table 9: Estimated Oven Energy Consumption and Cost Electric (kwh) Daily Preheat Energy 1.84 Daily Idle Energy Daily Cooking Energy 6.67 Annual Electric Consumption (kwh/yr) 8,490 Total Annual Cost ($/year) b $849 b Oven energy costs are based on $0.10 kwh.
