Track: Commissioning: Optimizing New and Existing Buildings and their Operation
Sponsor: 5.10 Kitchen Ventilation, 7.9 Building Commissioning
Chair: Francis Kohout, P.E., Member, Cyclone Energy Group, Chicago, IL
This seminar features presentations describing some of the unique and challenging situations that must be considered as part of the commissioning process for Commercial Kitchen Ventilation (CKV) systems.
1. What Is Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Commissioning?
Donald Fisher, P.Eng., Life Member, Fisher Consultants, Danville, CA
The commercial kitchen ventilation (CKV) system is just that, a system, complete with hoods, exhaust and makeup air fans, makeup air conditioning and delivery and in many cases, demand-based controls. Simply stated, when commissioning (Cx) is compromised, CKV performance falls short of client expectations! Unfortunately, commissioning a CKV system is a complex, multi-phase task not always understood by the design community. Many times, the failure of an exhaust hood to capture effluent from the cooking process could have been mitigated through effective commissioning. This is a high-level perspective on the commissioning process applied to a commercial kitchen.
2. Overall CKV Commissioning and the Critical Role of Testing and Balancing
Jason Brown, Associate Member, Melink Corp., Milford, OH
What are the common issues typically found while performing a test and balance of a CKV system? Several examples are presented that display the common issues found when performing a test and balance as part of both new construction and rebalancing of existing sites due to inadequate design, improper installation and poor maintenance.
3. Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Operation and Performance: Reality Check from the Field
Michael Morgan, Associate Member, Captive Aire Systems, Inc., Allentown, PA
Commercial kitchen ventilation systems (CKV) are a subset within the overall building HVAC, which requires a proper approach to system design, installation and commissioning for operation and performance. System design, quality products and integration are critical; however, the realities of field installations shows that, “where the rubber meets the road, your mileage may vary.” This seminar highlights many of the common issues discovered in the field when performing a system design verification to ensure proper and sustainable operation.
