Kitchen smoke ducts are an indispensable part of a modern kitchen. Due to the uniqueness of Chinese cooking, fumes have become an unavoidable problem in the kitchen. A well-designed and well-installed smoke exhaust duct system can not only effectively remove oil smoke and ensure the air quality of the kitchen, but also extend the service life of the kitchen equipment and improve the safety of the kitchen. This article will detail the design and installation points of kitchen smoke exhaust pipes, hoping to provide useful reference for the majority of owners and kitchen designers.
1. Classification and selection of kitchen smoke exhaust pipes.
Kitchen smoke exhaust ducts can be divided into the following categories according to different materials, structures and occasions of use:
Galvanized steel sheet air duct: galvanized steel sheet has the characteristics of anti-corrosion, wear resistance, and beautiful appearance, and is widely used in smoke exhaust systems in kitchens, restaurants and other places.
Stainless steel air duct: Stainless steel material has excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, and is often used in places with special requirements, such as hospitals, pharmaceutical factories, etc.
PVC air duct: PVC material has the characteristics of moisture-proof, mildew-proof, flame retardant, etc., and is often used in ventilation and air conditioning systems.
When choosing a kitchen smoke duct, the following factors should be considered:
Smoke exhaust volume: Choose a smoke exhaust pipe of appropriate diameter according to the actual smoke exhaust needs of the kitchen.
Environmental factors: Consider the characteristics of the kitchen environment, such as humidity, temperature, corrosiveness, etc., and choose the appropriate material and structure.
Installation conditions: Consider factors such as installation location, height, space, etc., and choose a smoke exhaust duct that is easy to install and maintain.
Second, the design points of kitchen smoke exhaust pipes.
The design of kitchen smoke exhaust ducts should follow the following principles:
Reasonable layout: According to the layout of the kitchen and the location of the equipment, reasonably plan the direction and layout of the smoke exhaust pipe, minimize bending and twisting, and ensure smooth smoke exhaust.
Reduce resistance: On the premise of meeting the demand for smoke exhaust, minimize the length and bending of the smoke exhaust pipe to reduce the loss of resistance and improve the smoke exhaust efficiency.
Ensure air tightness: The design of the smoke exhaust pipe should ensure that the interface is tight and there is no leakage, so as to improve the smoke exhaust effect and prevent the leakage of oil smoke.
Easy to clean: The design should consider the cleaning and maintenance of the smoke exhaust pipe, and try to choose materials and structures that are easy to clean.
Safety performance: The design of smoke exhaust ducts should comply with relevant codes and standards to ensure safety performance and service life.
3. Installation skills of kitchen smoke exhaust pipes.
The installation quality of kitchen smoke exhaust pipes directly affects its use effect and safety, so the following installation tips should be followed:
Installation location: The smoke exhaust pipe should be installed on the top of the kitchen, as close as possible to the position of the oil smoke discharge port. This can reduce the residence time of oil smoke in the pipe and improve the smoke exhaust efficiency.
Fixing method: The smoke exhaust pipe should be fixed reliably to prevent displacement or falling off due to vibration or external force. At the same time, care should be taken to mitigate the impact on building structures such as suspended ceilings.
Connection: The connection method of the smoke exhaust pipe should be selected according to the material and structure of the appropriate sealing material and connection method to ensure that the interface is tight and there is no leakage. For the parts that need to be sealed, they should be sealed with high-temperature and corrosion-resistant sealing materials.
Shock-proof measures: In order to prevent the impact of vibration on the smoke exhaust pipe, shock-absorbing measures should be taken at appropriate locations. For example, the use of rubber shock absorbers or shock absorbers, etc.
Cleaning and maintenance: After the installation is completed, the inside of the smoke exhaust duct should be cleaned, and regular maintenance and maintenance work should be carried out. If a blockage or leak is found, it should be dealt with in time.
IV. Conclusion. In short, as an important part of the modern kitchen, the kitchen smoke exhaust pipe needs to comprehensively consider many factors in the design and installation process, such as smoke exhaust volume, environmental factors and installation conditions, etc., while following the design principles of reasonable layout, reducing resistance, ensuring air tightness, easy cleaning and safety performance, and adopting appropriate installation skills to ensure its normal operation and prolong the service life.
