At any commercial kitchen, ventilation is a silent partner and one of the important pieces of equipment, not only for safety and cleanliness purposes, but also for the comfort and health of employees and customers. It goes without saying that California has specific guidelines for air quality control. Ensuring efficient kitchen ventilation should be properly considered and preserved. At Matrix Systems, we help you identify common ventilation problems and provide constructive suggestions on how to improve the ventilation and safety of the air in your commercial kitchen.
Optimal Control for Heat, Smoke, and Odors in Commercial Kitchens
For heat, smoke, and odors, for optimal control to be present in commercial kitchen environments, effective ventilation is needed. If a kitchen seems hot even after reducing using cooking equipment, smells are still present, and there is smoke when food is being cooked, the ventilation is likely inadequate. Such problems are not only a nuisance, but these also suggest worse problems which could affect the health and safety of the environment.
Major Ventilation Problem – Inadequate Exhaust Systems
A common problem affecting commercial kitchens is insufficient exhaust provision. Such systems are poorly designed and can only partially clear pollutants from the air, resulting in bad air quality and possible health code violations.
The effects of this are dire and include the following:
- Elevated Fire Hazard:Defective ducting as a result of poor ventilation tends to retain grease which extremely heightens the danger of fires.
- Health Concerns:Possible or already existing respiratory problems and other health concerns could lead to frequent absenteeism in staff members which would affect productivity.
- Loss of Customers:Kitchen areas full of smoke and bad smell caused by food preparation would discourage customers, which would be detrimental to the business as a going concern.
Tips for Diagnosing and Resolving Ventilation Issues
There’s no denying the fact that optimizing air quality starts with finding an adequate kitchen ventilation system. Suggested guidelines about how to assess and improve the kitchen exhaust system’s performance are listed below:
- Routine maintenance: Make it a rule to regularly inspect the exhaust hoods, fans, and ductwork for any blockages.
- Periodic inspection and servicing of ventilating systems: Understanding the need for this step, which represents the efforts on the part of an expert to destroy a build-up of grease or other contaminates in order to sustain performance and avoid danger.
- Equipment improvements: Basic Improvements under this heading should include the provision of high-volume efficient particulate and other models appropriate for the type and amount of cooking normal in the restaurant.
Benefits of Optimizing Kitchen Exhaust Systems
