47. The Make Up Air A. It is the responsibility of the food service consultant to play an active roll in the design of the make up air system? B. Why is it important for the Food Service Consultant to take an active roll is this part of the Kitchen Ventilation Design? 1. The make up air is the most mis-understood part of the kitchen ventilation system. 2. The make up sir system creates more problems than any other component of a Kitchen Ventilation System. 3. A poorly designed make up air system can create cross currents under the hood, that blow the heated plume out from under the hood which the hood is not designed to over come and can not overcome in most installations.
48. Add on Make Up Air Plenums Do add on make up air plenums help the hood with Capture and Containment?
49. Add on Make Up Air Plenums No!!!! However, they are less detrimental than most other make up delivery systems.
50. Revealing the Myth of Kitchen Ventilation Hoods • Hoods do not draw the cooking effluents created by cooking equipment up into the hood. • The reason that the cooking effluents rise up in to the hood is simply because the heated air is lighter than the surrounding cooler air and therefore the heated air rises up into the hood. • The main functions of the hood are the capture, containment of heated plume. • To provide an apparatus to prevent fire from penetrating into the duct work.
51. Conclusion The Food Service Consultant is the single most important person in the design of an energy efficient Kitchen Ventilation System.

61. Gemini Air Systems 2008 Goals 1. Design a hood that meets or exceeds the January 2009 LEED mandate of a 35% reduction in Hood exhaust airflow rates when compared to the IMC minimums. 2. Design the most Energy Efficient Wall Canopy Hood Ever! 3. Have the new Hood Design U.L Listed and ready for a Manufacturing and National Sales launch by January of 2009.
62. Challenge #1 Incorporate Gemini Air Systems and the industry’s best practices developed over the last 10 years with Gemini Air Systems new innovations and know how to engineer our new energy efficient hood.
