Transforming Kitchen Efficiency with Demand-Controlled Ventilation: Meet Intelli-Hood

What Is Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation?

In the world of commercial kitchens, efficiency is a fundamental requirement. Kitchens generate heat, odours, and use a  substantial amount of energy . To address these challenges, the concept of Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation (DCKV) has emerged to transform your kitchen's efficiency.

Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation (DCKV) Unveiled

Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation, or DCKV, is a revolutionary approach to managing kitchen ventilation systems. Traditionally, commercial kitchens have relied on exhaust fans that run continuously at a constant speed, regardless of the level of cooking activity. This not only wastes energy but also drives up operational costs.

The Intelli-Hood Solution

Intelli-Hood incorporates state-of-the-art optical and smart temperature sensors that continuously analyse the kitchen environment. It's like having a responsive, energy-efficient chef in your kitchen, ensuring that your exhaust fans operate precisely when needed.

Key Features of DCKV:

Smart, Autonomous & Self-Adjusting: DCKV systems are designed to be self-sufficient. They require no manual interventions.

Exceptional Energy Savings: DCKV can result in significant energy savings, with a typical payback period of just 1-2 years.

Compliance with Safety Standards: DCKV systems adhere to safety standards such as NFPA 96.

The Benefits of DCKV:

With DCKV, energy efficiency is the name of the game. These systems adapt to the level of cooking activity in real-time, minimising energy wastage. Why run exhaust fans at full speed when simmering is the only action in the kitchen?

Fan Energy Savings: DCKV systems can reduce fan energy consumption by up to 66%-78%.

Conditioned Air Savings: You can expect savings of 30%-40% on conditioned air.

Investment Payback: Typically, your investment in DCKV can be recouped within 1-2 years.

Reduced Carbon Footprint: Less energy consumption means fewer carbon emissions.

Versatility: DCKV systems are compatible with both new and existing commercial hood systems.

In the culinary world, the demand for energy-efficient kitchen operations is ever-growing. Intelli-Hood, is a pioneering solution that is transforming the way commercial kitchens approach ventilation.
