A design breakthrough has enabled Fläkt Woods to launch a new fan, known as the Maxfan, intended to produce higher pressure development specifically for commercial kitchen canopy applications.
Managing and balancing airflow is a complex issue, and commercial kitchens require moving large volumes of air through ductwork and equipment placement in very restricted spaces.
Fläkt Woods engineers were able to developed the Maxfan, a single phased axial fan with a speed controller which has been optimised for pressure. It is particularly suited to help overcome higher system resistances as specified by DW/172 regulations. Based on a 2 stage JM axial fan with aluminium impellers, it creates 2.7 times the pressure development of a JM, making it ideal for pressure drops.
Because the catering sector must meet higher air quality regulations than standard building exhausts, due to the type of contaminated air produced by cooking food, these new fans are expected to prove an immediate success.
The new DW/172 guidelines outline the recent legislative changes and standards in the design, installation, acoustics and maintenance of kitchen ventilation systems in non-domestic properties.
