Commercial and industrial kitchens are energy intensive. To ensure the safety of staff and the quality of food prepared, and comply with regulatory standards, they must be effectively ventilated but many systems are inefficient, running at maximum design volume when they don’t need to.
TEL’s kitchen hood VAV system prioritise safety and reduces energy usage and costs by up to 75%. It can also decrease cleaning costs, reduce wear and tear and facilitates a significantly quieter kitchen keeping staff safe and comfortable while they work.
Kitchen Hood Controls
Our kitchen control system detects smoke and temperature rises, increasing the airflow only when full performance is required. Helping to significantly reduce energy costs, carbon emissions and noise levels of your kitchen hood.
Benefits
VAV Terminals
Our range of variable air volume (VAV) Terminals and Attenuators helps effectively control the distribution of air into any industrial or commercial kitchen.
Rectangular or circular units are available in a range of sizes.
Benefits
Airflow Monitors (CAV)
TEL’s unique airflow sensors measure face or duct velocities accurately, and offer real time graphs of face velocity/pressure to enhance safety and prevent the exhaustion of hazardous gases or vapours.
BenefitsA typical kitchen hood ventilation system runs at maximum design volume 100% of the time. It is estimated that 25% of a food service operation’s energy costs are spent conditioning the outside air brought in during these air exchanges. In fact, according to estimates from the American Gas Association, the US food service industry wastes more than $2 billion each year because of excessive ventilation.
Most kitchen hoods will only require full exhaust performance for a small part of the day. The TEL kitchen hood VAV system automatically varies the exhaust and supply air as the cooking demands change or when the presence of smoke or cooking effluence is detected. It has unique microprocessor based controls whose sensors automatically regulate fan speed based on cooking load, time of day and hood temperature whilst minimising energy usage.
The TEL kitchen hood can reduce energy usage by up to 75%, considerably reducing energy costs and carbon emissions. It can also decrease cleaning costs, reduce wear and tear on equipment and provide a significantly quieter kitchen.
To meet the mandatory requirements in most commercial kitchens, TEL’s kitchen hood VAV system can also be supplied with an integrated Gas Interlock system, which cuts off the gas flow in the event of kitchen ventilation failure.
