Make up air refers the air that must be introduced into the kitchen to replace air that is being removed by the CKV exhaust system. Make up air balances the air pressure Restaurant kitchen exhaust systems are often very powerful, removing thousands of cubic feet of air per minute. When this air is removed from [...]
The most common ways of introducing make up air into the kitchen are: through the CKV hood, through perforated supply plenums either mounted to the CKV hood or in the ceiling around the CKV hood through ceiling diffusors located in the general are of the CKV hood through the buildings HVAC system through a [...]
Many CKV hood manufactures have hood designs that include a make up air plenum as part of the hood. The make up air is introduced into the hood from the make up air system and exits through the hood into the room.
The advantages of introducing make up air through the CKV Hood are: CKV hoods have the potential to provide a large diffused area for the return of the make up air, thus facilitating a potentially lower air speed of the make up air returning into the kitchen. Reduces the amounf of space the make [...]
Several advantages are listed below: Perforated Supply Plenums have the potential to provide a large diffused area for the return of the make up air, thus facilitating a potentially lower air speed of the make up air returning into the kitchen. Potentially Simplifies the Design and Installation processes by eliminating the need to engineer [...]
Most National Mechanical and Fire Codes and Standards require that the CKV Type 1 hood systems shall be designed and installed to automatically activate the exhaust fan whenever cooking operations occur. If the CKV Exhaust fan is not manually turned on when the cooking equipment is in use, then an auto fan start will [...]
CKV hoods can be fitted with temperature monitors that have an adjustable temperature setting. The temperature monitors are set to a point slightly above the standard ambient operating kitchen temperature. When the temperature monitors detect temperatures above the standard ambient kitchen temperature, the monitor closes a switch that can be used to energize the [...]

The CKV hood that is considered the most energy efficient is the hood that can be installed over cooking equipment and exhaust the lowest amount of exhaust air. An example of an energy efficient hood is a hood that uses advanced aerodynamic technology that incorporates airstreams into the front lower [...]
