How to Choose the Right Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Fan?

www.hoodfilters.com/hood-systems/upblast-exhaust-f… Let HoodFilters.com help you learn How to Choose the Right Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Fan in this video overview. Commercial kitchen exhaust fans come in many different types and sizes as well as in a variety of air volume flow rates. Airflow is measure in how much air is moved in cubic feet per minute (CFM). Exhaust fans also have a static pressure that is expressed as the difference between inside and outside air pressure in inches of water column (wc), and is measured with a manometer. As the air is drawn into the ductwork, the exhaust fan produces a low-pressure area. The fan must then overcome the amount of static pressure created which is affected by the air velocity as well as other factors such as the length of the ductwork and how many turns it has. One of the first things to figure out when selecting an exhaust fan is determining what model you need for your application. All fans perform basically the same function of moving air in or out but what sets various models apart includes how efficiently they get the job done in the space where they are needed. Depending on your budget, a more economical choice such as a direct drive fan with a low static pressure may be right for you. But if your air volume needs are 2,000 CFM or more then a belt drive fan may better suit your needs. Belt drive fans also have higher static pressure and often have a higher temperature rating. Compared to wheel propeller fans, the centrifugal fans that we carry are extremely efficient and offer a higher static pressure. They are also much quieter. One very important difference between fan models is the CFM. The air volume flow rate you require is calculated based on a number of factors including the location of the fan, the type and volume of use, the room volume, and your climate. For some applications, sound level of the exhaust fan you choose is an important part of the decision. The noise level of a fan is commonly expressed a linear measurement of sound pressure known as sones. The lower the number, the more quiet the fan is. Another important factor in selecting your upblast exhaust fan is the availability of accessories and replacement parts. If you have to search all over for parts every time you have a repair or can’t find accessories that work with your fan, that can be a real problem.
