Energies 2020, 13, 6446 4 of 26 The batter is baked into wafer sheets in one revolution. These wafer sheets are carefully collected in the wafer sheet take-off station and sent to the processing line. The oven is also supplied with a cooling or secondary air flow through the sidewalls to protect the bearings from any damage resulting from overheating. The products of combustion, cooling air and moisture from the batter are extracted using an extractor fan operating at 40 Hz (1160 rpm). The fan speed is monitored using a differential pressure control device. The overall exhaust gases from the oven are vented through a rooftop exhaust Energies 2020, 13, x FOR PEER REVIEW ◦ 4 of 26 duct.Thetemperatureoftheexhaustgasescouldvaryfrom130–205 Cdependingonthebatterrecipe, oven design, ambient conditions, operative regime, fuel used, etc. The heat lost in the exhaust gas is resulting from overheating.
