Halton Vent Master
Primarily, we are the UK’s leading specialists in the field of Commercial
Kitchen Ventilation. Established since 1982, our product range includes
ventilation canopies, ventilated ceilings, services distribution units, fire
suppression systems, ecology pollution control units and complete turnkey
installations.
Since the autumn of 1999, it has been possible for us to offer an additional
state-of-the-art option for our ventilation products. This is the incorporation
of high-output ultraviolet lamps within both the kitchen canopies or ventilated
ceilings. These UV lamps, located immediately downstream of the primary grease
filters, use powerful ultraviolet light [C-band. 185nm] to break down the
oxygen molecules present in the exhaust air being drawn from the cooking
process, then oxidise them with the Ozone also created by the UV lamps. This
combination of photolysis and ozonolysis has the affect of removing grease
from the airstream and, thereby, eliminates the need for costly and regular
duct cleaning and, equally importantly, with the agreement of the local Fire
Authority, the requirement for expensive fire-rated ductwork……no
grease….far less risk of fire!!
In this day and age of less tolerance of unpleasant odours being discharged
to atmosphere, another benefit of this UV technology is that the level of
lampage within the canopy or ventilated ceiling can be increased to a point
where the cooking odours, to a very great extent, are also destroyed.
We have, as at September 2005, installed more than 450 systems incorporating
UV-C technology and designed to eliminate grease from the exhaust duct /
fan, and significantly reduce the cooking odours to a level where low-level
discharge from the kitchen ventilation system has been utilised with great
success.
It has to be said that wherever it is possible, and practical, to take a
commercial kitchen ventilation exhaust duct to the roof of a building where
it can terminate with a vertical discharge accelerator cone, then this should
always be the preferred option. However, for those buildings where this is
not a practical proposition, Halton Vent Master can offer a viable alternative.
Kitchen Canopies versus Ventilated Ceilings?
When all is said and done, the answer to this question usually boils down
to personal preference.
Simply because the point of extraction within a conventional kitchen canopy
is located closer to the source of the heat and fumes, it is generally accepted
that a canopy will be more efficient than a ventilated ceiling. This point
was much more the case a decade ago but, with designs of ventilated ceilings
improving all the time, the differential nowadays is quite minimal.
Historically, ventilated ceilings were the preferred option for those projects
where the kitchen or servery was open-plan and in view of the customers.
To make the decision as to whether or not to specify a ceiling in place of
a cluster of canopies becomes even closer when considering the initial capital
costs. Taking into account the fact that with a ventilated ceiling this
eliminates the need, and cost, of a conventional suspended ceiling in the
area, comparing like-for-like there is very little cost difference. In the
past there was a feeling that a ventilated ceiling would work efficiently
using less exhaust air than its canopy counterpart. This is a myth and is
simply not the case. It is the cooking equipment that determines the quantity
of extraction that is required for a given kitchen, not the equipment doing
the extracting.
The conclusion, therefore, is that if aesthetic considerations are important,
a ventilated ceiling should be the number one choice.
We believe that the Halton Vent Master "Cyclocell" Ventilated Ceiling is
not only the most efficient available, but it’s the prettiest by far!!
