Even heat distribution in the oven is one of the key factors for success in the bread baking industry. In wider oven designs, there are often temperature differences between the left and right sides of the oven. This problem is being addressed with heat regulators. To improve the current situation, I decided to create new prototypes of the regulators and test them in practice. I started by creating a 3D model, which I later numerically analyzed with software and later experimentally tested in an actual oven. By changing the size of the slots on the heat regulators, we change the cross-sections of the slots between the hatches through which the flue gases travel to the individual oven channels. With the new regulators, we have achieved satisfactory results and confirmed that development is moving in the right direction.
