To the Hood.X selection tool

 


Step 1:

To calculate the air flow in the entire kitchen, go directly to the “Exhaust air flow dimensioning” section and choose “Dimensioning based on kitchen equipment.”

 

Step 2:

Choose the other devices used in the kitchen and insert their power consumption. You can add as many devices as you want to.

 

Step 3:

Insert the simultaneity factor. The factor indicates the probability of the added devices being used simultaneously. The default factor of 0,80 means that the likelihood of the devices running at the same time is 80%.

 

Step 4:

Press the “Air flow calculation pdf” button, and the program provides you with air flow calculations based on the figures you have used. The document also includes the calculation of the extract air flow of the hood.
