 1   INTRODUCTION

Energycatcher is an ingenious patented unit which 

requires no electrical connection, has no running costs, 
and no maintenance costs.

All Ravenheat boilers conform to SEDBUK band A, they 

are over 91 % effi cient in converting gas to heat. When 
Energycatcher is fi tted to  a boiler, it adds up to 7 % to 
the boiler effi ciency and thereby an overall 7% saving 
on gas per year.  Which, apart from the costs of buying 
the unit delivers  FREE domestic hot water. This saving 
is good news for the householder’s gas bill, and the 
environment.

In addition, the fl ue exhaust temperature, or plume, is 

also considerably cooler  with Energycatcher. 

UK building Regulations demand that this plume is 

exhausted from the house so as not to affect either the 
home’ s fabric or people. Tests by Ravenheat show 
that the plume temperature is reduced by up to 45 °C, 
making it far safer and resulting in much less heat  being 
pumped into the atmosphere. 

When Energycatcher is attached to a condensing boiler, 

the low temperature of this exhaust results in the polluting 
gases condensing to the drain, rather than going into the 
atmosphere; 

1.1 

Summary savings using Energycatcher:

- Energy neutral (free energy).
- The Energycatcher is effi cient at extracting heat to 

water.

- Extra heat is extracted from outlet fumes reducing 

them 

   to as low 23°C.
- When the boiler is working in hot water mode the 

outlet 

    fl ue fume temperatures are no greater than 3-5 °C 

higher    

  than the incoming cold feed.
- Extra boiler effi ciency whenever the boiler is operating 
  (DHW or CH). This effi ciency is stored as thermal 

gain.

- Saves on gas bills.
- Helps the environment.

1.2

Summary of benefi ts of Energycatcher:

-  Fuel bills reduced.
-  CO2 saving 
-  Pluming is almost eliminated due to operation 
   (thermal gain).  
   Outlet fumes are too low to support water vapour.
-  Less cold water usage.
-  Instant hot water delivery.
-  Payback of initial outlay around 2 to 3 years.
-  Delivers substantial heat savings (twice that of solar) 
   when there are no thermal gains due to poor     
   weather.
-  Compatible to work with solar system in conjunction
   with Energycatcher for all year round savings.
 - Uses no power to recover heat.
-  No electrical power connections.
