High Performance commercial kitchen

High Performance commercial kitchen

It is a concept which leads to energy efficiency, profitable business and Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ). This concept starts from the very beginning of each project with the design of the kichen …in order to provide commercial kitchen ventilation solutions, including commercial kitchen canopy as an integrated part of the final results.

High Performance Kitchen for our Client : PROFIT and COMPETITIVENESS

Professional Kitchen is a very challenging and demanding environment. The profitability and competitiveness of each food service operation is directly related to cost efficient, productive, safe and healthy kitchen environment.

How can we increase profitability, competitiveness and sustainability?

• Energy efficiency
  > Lower energy consumption
• Comfort
  > Lower churn rate, reduced training cost, easier recruiting, Lower employee turnover rate
• Productivity
  > Lower health care cost, improved productivity, manageable operation,
  reduced medical leaves
• Safety
  > Safety of people, safety of food
• Environment
  > Greenhouse gases, odour, grease

Vital conditions for a good capture and containment

> CONTROL OF THE DRIVING SPEED at the front of the hood to lead thermal plume inside the containment volume

> CONTAINMENT CAPACITY of the hood to store the pollutants peaks while it is exhausted

> NET EXHAUST AIRFLOW at the enter of the containment volume

> NO DRAFTS inside the containment volume of the hood

Entropic’s Advice

• Existing Kitchen Canopy “not working”
• Replace ceiling once every 2 years
• Duct cleaning every 8 weeks
• Very uncomfortable working conditions for staff

Decrease of fat and particles deposit inside the exhaust plenum and the ductwork

> Decrease the duration and the cost of statutory cleaning operations
> Decrease ductwork fire hazard
> Decrease emissions of cold grease odours
> Improve the hygienic conditions
