Restaurant Extraction System Supply and Installation

When you're considering having a restaurant extraction system supplied and installed it’s essential to understand proper ventilation and what’s involved.

Consider for example the components required, like extraction canopies and extractor fans, and how they have to fit exactly into your kitchen's unique layout. Have you about the implications if ventilation is inadequate?

Let's explore how a well-designed and professionally installed extraction system can transform your kitchen operations.

Understanding Extraction Systems

When it comes to maintaining a kitchen that’s safe and great to work in, understanding extraction systems is essential.

Extraction systems must comply with DW/172:2017 regulations, and they outline Commercial HVAC Ventilation Installers Near Me the necessary expectations for design and installation. Usually the components are extraction canopies, extractor fans and filtration units that all work seamlessly together.

Every kitchen is custom designed around the equipment in place and the layout. Then what you have is a kitchen operating at best performance and efficiency.

Once you start using your kitchen, remember to maintain everything regularly. To keep everything working as it should and you will protect your kitchen from anything that could potentially be hazardous.

Adhere to Design and Compliance Standards

Careful attention with full schematics should be given to local compliance standards. Become familiar with DW/172:2017 regulations, because when you meet this standard, your kitchen’s ventilation is sufficient. Flow rate assessments and cookline calculations are necessary for this.

· Follow local authority conditions for environmental protection

· Follow local authority conditions for noise control

· Proper routing of ductwork is essential.

· Doing these things will minimise energy waste and reduce operational costs.

Investing your time and resources into following these standards will pay off in the long term, even when you don’t feel you are seeing the impact immediately.

What’s the Installation Process?

Installation starts with a site survey, What does a survey achieve? A survey identifies what’s required, sets out the essentials for what is required afterwards.

Detailed reports and specifications are then prepared to confirm compliance with local planning authorities.

The next step is to submit plans for the required planning permission. Then once approvals are received, the Commercial kitchen extraction installation can begin towards the journey of design, commissioning, testing, and certification.

Odour Control Technologies

UV Ozone Neutralization helps with managing kitchen smells. Odours in fact are converted into something more harmless. Efficient odour filtration methods improve air quality and save money on duct cleaning long term.

UV Ozone Neutralisation Benefits

Perhaps you’ve not heard of UV Ozone Neutralisation but it effectively eliminates kitchen odours. Low-pressure UV lamps generate ozone at a wavelength of 184nm, and oganic compounds oxidises into harmless carbon dioxide and water.

This type of neutralisation technology also helps to minimise the buildup of grease in the air stream. So you have a more hygienic environment that aligns with all of the health and safety regulations you have to meet.

By investing in UV Ozone Neutralisation, you're not just improving air quality, you're also engaging with a cleaner and safer workplace.

Filter Out Unwanted Odours

Have you thought about using one of the many ways to filter odours?

· UV Ozone Odour Neutraliser is just one. It uses low-pressure UV lamps to generate ozone at 184nm. This process – you might know this already - effectively eliminates kitchen odours by oxidising organic compounds into CO2 and water.

Also, a Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP), can achieve up to 99% removal efficiency of grease, smoke, and airborne contaminants. When you use ESPs in your extraction system, you'll automatically improve air quality.

Carbon filtration units shouldn’t be overlooked. They help to reduce odours so compliancy can be met. Customisable ventilation design services mean you can integrate these and other odour control technologies.

Equipment Specific Requirements

In any and all commercial kitchens gas extraction canopies must be placed above the cooking equipment by at least 300mm to effectively eliminate odours, heat, and harmful impurities such as carbon monoxide.

If by any chance you use an electric extraction system, (ideal for kitchens without gas connections), you will be pleased to know that because induction cooking technology is used, no harmful byproducts are produced so this itself removes the need for gas safety interlock systems in your commercial kitchen.

Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Hoods

Additionally, when you have a commercial kitchen exhaust hood installed, they are often made from brushed, commercial-grade 304 stainless steel. Compliance with Health and Safety Executive ventilation guidelines is critical. Canopies require:

· filters to prevent grease accumulation

Benefits of Using Proper Ventilation

Correct ventilation in a commercial kitchen can make a lot of difference:

· removes unwanted heat, steam, and smoke from the air.

· A professionally designed extraction system greatly reduces grease build-up,

· Improved temperature and humidity control

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Restaurant Extractor Fans require special mention?

Ventilation and Airflow: Extractor fans to be effective, have to remove adequate heat, smoke, grease, steam, and odours. The required airflow needed, depends on the size of your kitchen as well as the equipment.

Make-up Air: the same amount of fresh air should replace all extracted air; this prevents any negative pressure.

Fan and Ductwork Specifications: Make effort to use fire-resistant materials such as steel for equipment such as extractor fans and ducts. These will withstand grease in the air, and high temperatures.

Maintenance Access: A system easier to clean is preferred. Access doors in ductwork should be available to prevent any fire risks and the build-up of grease.

Grease Filtration: Grease filters will trap particles of grease and will help to reduce any accumulation in the ventilation system.

Noise Control and Fire Safety: Local noise regulations are in place for people who own commercial kitchens. Use silencers or a noise reduction system to keep noise to a minimum so residents, the council and staff don’t complain or fine you.

Use a fire suppression system with a ventilation hood. Fire-rated ducting can be used, especially where ducts pass through fire-rated barriers. Fire dampers is another option.

Installation and Compliance: A ventilation system should meet local building codes and health regulations. This covers ventilation rates, materials and safety measures.

Make sure to position exhaust outlets so as not to cause inconvenience to the public. Exhaust outlets should be kept away from doors and windows.

Try to use energy efficient technologies. For example: variable speed drives (VSD adjusts airflow).
