Ventilation Works

Grease Extract Ventilation Cleaning

The greatest potential fire risk in buildings with catering facilities comes from the accumulation of grease-laden deposits in extract ventilation systems, a fire authority representative has warned at an industry seminar recently. Grease extract ductwork often stretches through the entire length of a building reaching to a roof level exhaust, so uncleaned ductwork can put not only the occupants at risk from fire but also the whole premises. Although filters in canopies help trap some grease particles it is inevitable that some grease-laden air will pass through, allowing grease deposits to cool and settle on the internal surfaces of the ductwork. Apart from the fire risk, the accumulation of grease in the kitchen extract system reduces ventilation efficiency by restricting the movement of extracted air, resulting in over-heating, excessive humidity, possible failure to remove noxious fumes from gas-burning appliances and a continuing source of unwanted odours which can permeate the rest of the building.

The Fire Safety Order requires owners and managers of buildings to ensure the Grease Extract Ventilation System is included in the Fire Risk Assessment and action taken to eliminate any potential risk to building occupants from potentially fire hazardous grease deposits in the ducting.

Ventilation Hygiene Requirements

Ventilation systems are designed to go un-noticed but provide a building with clean fresh air, creating the right temperature and air quality to achieve the right atmosphere for the purpose of a building. When ventilation systems become neglected or breakdown the required atmosphere can change drastically, air can become damp, décor can start to deteriorate, unfiltered air can contaminate a building leading to ill health of the persons occupying it and finally the risk of fire is increased due to the build up dry flammable materials within the system. A system which isn’t running efficiently will financially cost a company as energy costs are on the incline. A simple inspection can be carried out, which will identify the condition of the systems, any repair or cleaning works required, a breakdown of costs for the works and how often we recommend the system is inspected. Most ventilation systems are located above ceilings in roof voids, so knowing the condition of the system without a proper professional survey is virtually impossible. If there are signs of debris or discolorations around the face of a grille or louvre it is pretty much safe to say there will be some form of contamination within the ductwork systems.

Airius Destratification FansAirius destratification fans (or destrat fans) are the most versatile and efficient destratification fans available. They work alongside all new and existing heating and cooling systems to ensure temperatures provided by heating and/or cooling are circulated fully and maintained more efficiently throughout internal spaces.Airius destrat fans prevent hot air from rising and accumulating at the ceiling by recirculating it down to floor level where it is needed. They also prevent cool air from becoming trapped in low points or in poorly circulated areas, thus creating a much more comfortable and controllable environment. It does this by constantly circulating and mixing the internal air until temperatures are balanced and equalised between the floor and ceiling – thermal destratification. This lessens the workload required from your heating and cooling system significantly, resulting in a highly reduced operating time. This is where your energy savings are achieved.

The reduced energy requirement also means that you are lowering your carbon footprint significantly, so much so that destratification is recommended by the Carbon Trust as one of its top 3 carbon saving measures (see here), making it an efficient and cost effective CRC solution.

Benefits of the Airius system

On average heating and cooling costs can account for over 50% of a buildings overall energy use (‘Building the future, today’ – Carbon trust Report 2009). Cutting these costs offers significant monetary savings for businesses.

Purified Air

For almost 30 years

Since 1984, Purified Air Ltd. has been striving to find the best and most cost effective way to filter and control the oil, smoke, grease and odour produced by commercial kitchens as well as supplying, fitting and servicing Air Conditioning for Residential, Commercial and Retail projects.

We’ve Got Your Back

With the majority of industry brands already using our systems, Purified Air covers the Fast Food, Casual Dining and Fine Dining markets by providing bespoke systems dependant on the type of food cooked, the type of cooking process used and the volume of air being extracted through the exhaust. By working with these variables we are able to design and supply some of the best commercial kitchen exhaust filtration and odour control systems in the world.

DEFRA

In 2004 Netcen was asked to produce a report on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on Guidance on the Control of Odour and Noise from Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Systems and in January 2005 the DEFRA Guide was published.

Keeping the Kitchens Open

Councils up and down the country have powers under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to ensure that commercial kitchens comply with the DEFRA Guide and that is where Purified Air comes in, ensuring that the extract from commercial kitchens, when finally exhausted, is as clean and odourless as it possibly can be, keeping the kitchens open and their neighbours happy.
