As a safety measure minimum allowable exhaust flow requirements are established to ensure that contaminated effluent is exhausted to ensure a safe condition.
Kitchen exhaust hood face velocity. The factor k represents the face velocity m s of the airflow at the canopy. Commercial kitchen ventilation design guide introduction a commercial kitchen exhaust hood is only one component of the kitchen ventilation system ckv. Air will have oil grease. The perforated front face discharge should exit in a horizontal direction.
Chasbean1 mechanical 8 apr 10 16 43. Air velocity in exhaust duct from kitchen hood. Current practice for commercial kitchen ventilation extends the guidelines for sizing ventilation schemes. Factory built commercial cooking recirculating systems 3.
Commercial kitchen exhaust hoods shall comply with the requirements of this section. Ommercial kitchen design professionals were concerned that the minimum exhaust air ductwork velocity of 1 500 fpm 7 62 m s as required by the national fire protection association nfpa 96 1 was too restrictive. The face velocity should not exceed 0 76 m s. Lowering the fume hood door to leave only a small vertical opening changes the type of hood from an exhaust hood to a slot hood.
Kitchen canopies and hoods air volume calculation. Exhaust hoods exhaust fans makeup air units and packaged rooftop hvac heating ventilation air conditioning units all need to. The units don t match since the equation is empirical a result of experiments. The equation used illustrates this.
Kitchen hoods are evaluated for structural integrity after subjected to intense fire. Ul standard 710 test standard for kitchen exhaust hoods. Factory built commercial exhaust hoods which are tested 2. Example kitchen exhaust hood.
Hood face velocities outside the hood or at the hood face can be estimated with velometers smoke tubes and swinging vane anemometers all of which are portable reliable and require no batteries. Whilst retaining the minimum of 20 30 ach specific quantities of air to be provided for each. Hoods shall be type 1 or type 2 and shall be designed to capture and confine cooking vapors and residues. The ckv is a subsystem of the overall building.
Q vh x 10d 2 a. Required air volume flow for a exhaust hood with circumference 3 m located 1 2 m above a stove can be calculated as. Can someone directs me to the ashrae chapter or any other code where i can find any reference to recommended air velocity in the exhaust duct connected to kitchen hood. Ashrae tech nical committee 5 10 kitchen ventilation sponsored and provided project guidance for a recently completed research.
