The right commercial kitchen canopy system
Conventional canopy systems
- Kitchen canopies made by non-canopy specialists
- Efficiency of canopy in capturing grease, steam and smoke is unknown
- Airflow calculated by ‘rule of thumb’ e.g. face velocity
- Low efficiency of grease filters (typically <50%)
- Large amounts of grease enter ducts
Entropic canopy systems
- Up to 40% less extract required
- Less make-up (supply) air required
- Less energy used
- Smaller ductwork
- High efficiency multi-cyclone filters
- Removes 95% of grease
- Work as flame arrestors for increased security
- Can incorporate UV grease destruction system
- Significantly improved fire safety
Why a UV Canopy?
- Reduces risk of fire
- Allows fire dampers to be used
- Fire dampers eliminate fire rated ductwork
- Significantly reduces duct cleaning
- Reduces odour emissions and allows additional odour treatment systems to be fitted
- Heat recovery from canopy extract is possible
- UV has antimicrobial effect and kills pathogens
- Allows canopies to be fitted in difficult locations
