Kitchen Ventilation Improvement
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course describes some of the basics of kitchen ventilation fundamentals, the influence of makeup air, makeup air recommendations, influence of other factors on kitchen ventilation, and energy savings considerations in commercial kitchen ventilation system designs.  This course will also help you realize that technology and research is ongoing; therefore, it is wise to consult current design standards and codes regarding kitchen ventilation requirements and recommendations for each project.

 

Effective commercial kitchen ventilation (CKV) system requires air balance.  Fortunately, there is no "magic" to the relationship between an exhaust hood and its requirement for replacement or makeup air (MUA). The physics are simple: air that exits the building (through exhaust hoods and fans) must be replaced with outside air that enters the building (intentionally or otherwise).

 

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers who design commercial kitchen ventilation systems and are interested in current technology for commercial kitchen ventilation design.
