commercial kitchen

Indoor climate affects occupational safety and comfort. When indoor climate conditions are on an optimum level, the number of accidents decrease while productivity and quality of the work increase. A new design guide for good indoor climate in commercial  kitchens is a result of the project "Research and Development Project of Commercial Kitchen Ventilation" started in 1996. Research pointed out that indoor climate conditions in commercial kitchens are not on an acceptable level

Chinese food is delicious. There are many kinds of cuisine. But the stir-fry, fry and deep-fry produce a large amount of steam and smoke which cause indoor air pollution seriously. So it must be controlled. The paper gets some flow distribution regularity of steam and smoke current in Chinese cooking by testing in laboratory and advances a new method to prevent the diffusion of smoking current-kitchen hood with forced air screen. By comparing with other removers, the equipment can save heat (cold) load and improve indoor air condition greatly.

    Thermal comfort i8sues in a commercial kitchen were studied in a laboratory test series. A commercial instrument was used to predict the thermal comfort of the kitchen personnel working near the hot cooking surfaces. The effect of variables like supply air type and personal nozzles were studied using a thermal comfort meter showing PMV and PPD indeces.
