ENGINEERING & DESIGN GUIDE FOR KITCHEN VENTILATION DESIGN PRINCIPLES INTRODUCTION TO KITCHEN HOODS The most prominent component of kitchen ventilation system is the exhaust hood. Selecting & Sizing Exhaust Hoods is the first design guide in a series that will help you achieve optimum performance and energy eficiency in your commercial kitchen ventilation system.
The information presented is applicable to new construction and, in many instances, retrofit construction. Modern kitchen hoods make use of high velocity principle with the design velocity at the makeup air slot at 1,000 to 2,000 FPM. The filter velocity is around is around 300 to 400 FPM.
G. Hood - an air-intake device connected to a mechanical exhaust ventilation system for collecting and removing cooking effluent which contains grease, vapors, fumes, smoke, steam, heat, or odors which are generated by cooking equipment and warewashing machines. H.
Single-island canopy hoods exposed on four sides are extremely vulnerable to cross drafts and/or unbalanced makeup air supply within the kitchen. In need of a back wall Problem 3: Design air flow rates for single-island hoods are often based on "UL listed" cfm/ft criteria (that are too low to start with) applied only to one side of the hood! At the outset of a new construction project, the building owner wants to limit design and installation costs.
With budget constraints, the kitchen designer specifies ventilation hoods based on past experience that are adequate for capture and containment of cooking plumes without regard to energy efficiency. The mechanical engineer, in turn, strives for an effective but low cost HVAC (heating. This document provides guidelines for designing kitchen exhaust hoods according to ASHRAE standards.
It defines key terms like capture velocity and contaminant transport velocity. It lists cooking appliance types and their duty categories. Tables provide minimum exhaust flow rates for different hood types and cooking equipment categories.
The procedure outlines classifying cooking appliances. The design exhaust rate also depends on the hood style and design features. Wall-mounted canopy hoods, island (single or double) canopy hoods, and proximity (backshelf, pass-over, or eyebrow) hoods all have different capture areas and are mounted at different heights relative to the cooking equipment (see Figure 1).
