Why install a fresh air replacement system?

A fresh air replacement system is an essential part of any commercial kitchen. Current guidelines advise all commercial kitchens have some type of mechanical air replacement system in place. These systems ensure to:

  • Replace air removed by extraction system
  • Prevent odors escaping the kitchen area
  • Keep a good air quality for employees and customers
  • Reduce CO levels

See our recent post regarding the importance of fresh air replacement and good ventilation during the Covid-19 pandemic here.

Covid Safe Kitchen with Fresh Air Replacement

 150 150 Northern Fan Services

Make your commercial kitchen Covid safe with a fresh air supply system.

The law pre-covid, stated that there must be an adequate supply of fresh air in any enclosed work space. This has not changed since the pandemic and is now, perhaps, even more important.

Due to the risk of aerosol transmission (when someone breathes in small particles in the air (aerosols) after a person with the virus has been in the same enclosed area), it is now more important than ever to have a fresh air supply to reduce that risk.

Aswell as reducing the risk of aerosol transmission, a mechanical fresh air supply system reduces CO2 levels in poorly ventilated, enclosed areas such as commercial kitchens.

Pictured above – an example of a recent fresh air supply system installed by our engineers at a hotel in Malton, North Yorkshire. Fitted into the external wall, the system comprises of a plate fan with 4 way diffuser, louvre and a replaceable filter to filtrate any bugs, dust and debris from outside.

Take a look at a recent publication by HSE detailing guidance for ventilation post-covid. Ventilation and air conditioning during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (hse.gov.uk). Now the hospitality industry is running as normal, it is essential we make kitchens as Covid safe as possible with fresh air supply systems.

Gas Interlock Panel Repairs

 150 150 Northern Fan Services

A gas interlock panel fault can interrupt the smooth running of a kitchen massively. A fault code on the panel is not always due to a fault with the fan/ extraction system. Sometimes this fault can be with the interlock panel itself.

Our expert team of engineers can quickly attend and determine what is causing the fault to get your system up and running.

Before and after at The Blue Barbakan, York

An example of a quick repair above. This restaurant in York called as their interlock panel was showing a fan fault and cut off the gas supply right before a busy Saturday’s service. Our engineers attended the same day, getting the system back up and running temporarily before returning the next working day to replace the faulty panel.

Canopy and Duct Install at Water Park Café

 150 150 Northern Fan Services

Canopy and System Install – The North Yorkshire Water Park asked us to install a new canopy they had purchased online. The canopy was an off the shelf product and did not come with any ductwork. We supplied the ductwork and attended site prior to install to decide the best extract route with the team there. With a busy business with a lot of footfall and customers moving around the building, it is always best to extract up through the roof wherever possible to direct any fumes away from customers. We manufactured a roof cowl to install above roof level to disperse the air.

  • Full details of kitchen equipment including dimensions
  • Kitchen room height

We can then provide you with a free rough quotation. Once you are happy to proceed, our engineers will come out to complete a site survey. Then the system goes into production and installation can usually take place in 7-10 working days.

The cleaning of your extract fan not only improves the overall hygiene of your kitchen but also decreases the fire risk. Your insurance wants to confirm that you are mitigating the risk of fire by cleaning your extraction system regularly, to prevent risk to people and property. 

As well as cleaning the fan, our engineers also service it, changing any parts necessary to prolong the life of the fan and keep your system working to its full potential.
