Commercial Hood Installation
Do you need a commercial hood installed? Restaurants are known for their success due to their commercial hoods and cooking equipment. However, as time passes, most restaurant owners forget that a restaurant hood and equipment requires regular maintenance after installation. Lack of proper maintenance and accumulation of dirt cause significant technical issues. Some major problems arising for the lack of proper maintenance could be smoke in the kitchen or restaurant, too hot or too cold working environment for the kitchen staff, high electricity bill, high noise or vibration, etc. For these reasons, CFM Testing recommends you entrust the installation and maintenance of restaurant hood, exhaust system and other related equipment to the professionals at The CFM Testing.
Vent Hood Filter Facts
Main component of a hood, which captures grease laden from the cooking fume is the filters installed in a hood. Grease travels through the filters to the plenum of the hood and into the ductwork, which leads to the exhaust fan on the kitchen roof. Cooking oil or grease is highly flammable and can easily be ignited by just a single spark on your cooking line, which can spread throughout the exhaust system in seconds. Most restaurant fires are related to the grease accumulation in the exhaust system.
More than 80% of the filters installed in commercial kitchen hoods have less than 30% efficiency. As a result, the filter captures only maximum 30% of the grease, and the remainder is transported to the roof through the duct and fan. As a result, the same grease is splashed on the roof while creating a fire hazard. CFM Testing can assess the grease capture rate of your vent hood and recommend high-efficiency filters for your hood. Capturing more grease will save you time and money in kitchen exhaust cleaning, while reducing the risk of fire breakout.

Fan, Grease Duct and Access Panel Installation
Access panels for fans and the ductwork are handy as they enable inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of entire grease ducts and all parts of the fans. A sound installation and maintenance will prevent grease build-up in the ductwork and the fan, which may otherwise cause the fan to rattle, operate off-balance, and wear out quicker than its expected life time.
Grease Duct System Optimization
The ideal air velocity in a grease duct is 1500-2500 feet per minute.
How much is the air velocity in your exhaust system?
If the air flow through the grease duct is too slow, grease deposits are collected behind the filters, grease duct, and the fan. If on the other hand the flow too fast, excessive noise is generated and grease is splashed onto the roof surface.
