Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation

Standard commercial kitchen ventilation systems typically operate at their maximum designed speed and/or volume throughout the duration of the kitchen’s operating hours. Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation provides automated control over the ventilation system by modulating fan speed in response to the presence and level of cooking activity. Demand control kitchen ventilation reduces power consumption by 25% – 70% of full speed and will produce HVAC savings proportional to the reduction in airflow of approximately 10 to 50%. Gaylord’s Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation (DCKV) options offer solutions for optimizing value and energy efficiency in your foodservice operation. In addition to energy savings, DCKV offers optimized HVAC efficiencies, reduced kitchen noise and increased kitchen comfort.

Smoke & Odor Control

Cooking odors (molecules) generated by the cooking of animal and vegetable matter result in an extremely complex mixture of reactive organic gases. A small percentage of these odors may be found in the grease particles but the vast majority of the odor exist separately in the air stream as vapor. Gaylord Industries offers charcoal, odor-oxidant, or charcoal/odor oxidant blend as the standard method and spray odor control as an option. Neither of these methods is 100% effective at removing all the odor so it is recommended that the discharge location for the exhaust system be placed in the least offensive location possible to minimize issues from odor.

Gaylord Industries has manufactured Pollution Control Equipment specifically designed for commercial kitchen exhaust systems since the early 1970’s, longer than any other manufacturer. This experience has made them acutely aware of the special engineering, operational, and maintenance considerations to ensure the most efficient and cost-effective design for your foodservice operation.
