Concerns over the indoor conditions have increased during recent years as a result of knowledge about indoor environmental quality on health, comfort and productivity of the workforce. The efficiency of the exhaust system is especially emphasised with a ventilated ceiling system where the exhaust is located at ceiling level. The removal efficiency of the total system must be guaranteed and the spread of impurities throughout the kitchen should be prevented. In the normal design practice, empirical knowledge of the existing installations together with rough heat load based calculation has been used for airflow rate determination. This book provides a contribution to the understanding of the thermal plumes of kitchen appliances and the interaction between supply air systems. This book gives improved basis for designing ventilated ceiling systems. Concepts to improve the capture and containment efficiency are also analyzed. The book is especially useful to professionals in commercial kitchen ventilation and food service fields, or anyone else who may be considering utilizing high performance ventilation in an energy efficient manner.

The fully revised and restructured two-volume 2nd edition of the Industrial Ventilation Design Guidebook develops a systematic approach to the engineering design of industrial ventilation systems and provides engineers guidance on how to implement this state-of-the-art ventilation technology on a global basis. Volume 1: Fundamentals features the latest research technology in the broad field of ventilation for contaminant control including extensive updates of the foundational chapters from the previous edition. With major contributions by experts from Asia, Europe and North America in the global industrial ventilation field, this new edition is a valuable reference for consulting engineers working in the design of air pollution and sustainability for their industrial clients (processing and manufacturing), as well as mechanical, process and plant engineers looking for design methodologies and advice on sensors and control algorithms for specific industrial operations so they can meet challenging targets in the low carbon economy.
