KITCHEN VENTILATION (EXTRACT) SYSTEM.

DESIGN CALCULATIONS

(1) EXTRACT FAN FLOW RATE

(A). OPTION I

Based on the recommended extract rates for kitchen equipments given in the ‘CIBSE
guide B Table 2.11

Total
Type of kitchen Recommended Number of kitchen Recommended
equipment on extract rate equipment on extract rate
cooking island. (L/s) cooking island (L/s)

Boiling pans 6 1800

Cooking range 300 2 600

Baine Marie 200 2 400

Deep fat fryer 450 2 900

Coffee/tea urn 150 3 450

Stockpot stove 300 2 600

TOTAL EXTRACT RATE 4,750 L/s

Total Extract Rate = 4750 L/S

= 4.75 m3/s

Assuming that not all equipments are in use at any particular moment, a diversity of 80%
will be applied.

Therefore, the design flow rate = 90 % x 4.75 m3/s = 4.3 m3/s

Hence, extract fan rate / duty = 4.3 m3/s x 3600 = 15480 m3/hr
(2) GREASE FILTERS

Design flow rate 4.3m3/s (15480 m3/hr)

Suitable filter: - Type DS 20 / 6

Double sided vee-bank

Capacity = 12,240 m3/hr

Comprising of 6 No. Stainless steel panel filters.

Approximate size: 5500 x 700 x 600 mm high

(3) EXTRACT DUCT SIZING

Design flow rate 2.31 m3/s (8316 m3/hr)

From IHVE Guide B, the recommended pressure loss for low velocity systems is:

Up to 10 m/s = 1 pa / m run

Round duct = Ø 600mm @ 8 m/s

Equivalent rectangular duct = 550 x 550mm @ 7.64 m/s

Rectangular ducts are easier to fabricate, install and maintenance and offer
better stiffness.

(4) FAN STATIC PRESSURE

The cause of pressure drop considered were loss due to duct fittings (such as grease
filters, bends, entries, contractions etc.), length of duct loss and finally the velocity
pressure required for air flow.

Velocity pressure, ∆Pf = 0.5 k ℓ v2

Where ∆Pf pressure loss (N/m2)

ℓ Air density (1.2 Kg/m3)

v Air velocity (m/s)

k Velocity pressure loss factor

(a) Entry loss at hood face.

Velocity pressure, ∆Pf = 0.5 k ℓ v2

Hood face = 6 m x 3.4 m = 20.4 m2

Design flow rate = 8316 m3/hr = 2.31 m3/s

Design velocity = 2.31 / 20.4 = 0.114 m/s

Therefore,
∆Pf = 0.5 k ℓ v2
= 0.5 x 0.5 x 1.2 x 0.1142 N/m2
= 0.004 N/m2

(b) Loss across grease filters

From “Vokes” catalogue on grease filters, the pressure loss ∆Pf is obtained as follows.

Percentage flow rate = Design flow rate (m3/hr) x 100 %

Filters rated capacity (m3/hr)

= 8316 / 12240
= 68 %

From the catalogue performance graph,

∆Pf = 6.5 mm of water

= 6.5 x 10-3 x1000 x 9.81
= 63.765 N/m2

(c) Loss due to contraction at plenum to duct

Velocity pressure, ∆Pf = 0.5 k ℓ v2

Aspect ratio, k = Area of Duct = 0.55 m x 0.55 m

Area of plenum 1.5 m x 0.7 m

k = 0.34

Therefore,
∆Pf = 0.5 k ℓ v2
= 0.5 x 0.34 x 1.2 x 7.642 N/m2
= 11.904 N/m2
 (d) Loss due to duct bend

Velocity pressure, ∆Pf = 0.5 k ℓ v2

Angle of bend = 200

Duct aspect ratio = 1.0

Radius of curvature to duct width ratio = 0.7

For a duct of aspect ratio 1, the velocity pressure loss factor k = 0.23

Thus, 200 bend velocity pressure loss factor, k 1 = 0.23 x 0.3 = 0.069

Therefore,
∆Pf = 0.5 k ℓ v2
= 0.5 x 0.069 x 1.2 x 7.642 N/m2
= 2.417 N/m2
(e) Loss along duct length

Velocity pressure, ∆Pf = ∆Patm x 3 m = 3.0 N/m2

(f) Velocity pressure for air to flow.(k=1)

Velocity pressure, ∆Pf = 0.5 k ℓ v2 = 0.5 x 1.2 x 7.942

= 35.022 N/m2

Total velocity pressure ∆PT = 0.004 +63.765 +11.904 +2.417 +3 +35.022

= 116.112 pa

∆PT = 117 N/m2

Allowing for 25 % for other losses and dirty grease filters,

∆PT = 117 x 1.25 = 146.25 pa

≈ 150 pa
