Kitchen Appliance Hood Communication

A. Hood exhaust airflow is controlled depending on appliance status via wireless ZigBee sensor: Warming-up Idle Cooking Off B. Hood controller detects appliance status via infrared sensor and exhaust air temperature installed within the hood cavity

MARVEL simplified schematic

Infrared radiation index sensors detect the rate of change and compare to temperature change to determine cooking status and adjust ventilation levels accordingly

MARVEL components: Balancing damper

A DAMPER (ABD) especially developed to work in hot, humid and greasy environment. The actuator is equipped of a spring return function

MARVEL components: Infrared Sensor

INFRARED SENSOR especially developed, in association to MARVEL calculator algorithm, to monitor and determine the cooking appliances mode

Kitchen Ventilation Solutions for tomorrows kitchen I Rudolf Kitzbichler

MARVEL components: Temperature Sensor

TEMPERATURE SENSORS are also used for the first one, to control the kitchen temperature and, for the second one in the exhaust plenum, to complement the infrared sensor information.

MARVEL components: Supervisor

THE HOOD SUPERVISOR this controller is also a component of the new UV control system. It is used to measure the exhaust airflow in a real time (integrated differential pressure transducer), to monitor the Infrared sensor and the plenum temperature sensor. It controls also the damper position.

MARVEL components: Calculator

THE CALCULATOR the brain of the system all the other components will be blind without the calculator. It integrates all algorithms to manage the exhaust and supply airflow according cooking activity independently for each hood.

Exhaust regulation principle

01 KITCHEN STARTING UP (typically 08.00 am) => Cooking appliances are off, fan is off => Marvel is on stand-by mode, damper are totally open => The user starts the fan => The system starts, dampers & fan go to minimum position (unless there is a minimum airflow setup specified)

Exhaust regulation principle

02 WARMING UP OF THE COOKING APPLIANCES => Cooking appliances are on, without cooking operations => Dampers & fan go to idle position => Infrared sensors measure changes in cooking temperature surface to detect instantaneously cooking mode

Exhaust regulation principle

03 KITCHEN LIFE VARIOUS COOKING OPERATIONS => Cooking appliances which are in cooking mode are located by the infrared sensors => Dampers & fan are playing between idle and maximum airflow

FIRST STEP: Find the running max point
80% 75% Open 90% 80%

01 FIND THE MAX RUNNING POINT => All dampers are totally open => Fan is at the maximum speed => Calculator enters in calibration and orders supervisors to set the dampers at their max airflow => Speed of the fan is decreased progressively until one of the dampers is open at 90%

SECOND STEP: Find the running min point
80% 75% 80% Open 90%

02 FIND THE MIN RUNNING POINT Dampers are on their max airflow position => Fan is at the max running point => Calculator orders supervisors to set the dampers at their min airflow => Speed of the fan is decreased progressively until one of the dampers is open at 90%

THIRD STEP: running optimization

03 RUNNING OPTIMIZATION => The fan will be permanently controlled by the supervisor which will have authority => The fan will always deliver the right speed to deliver the right airflow for all supervisors

M.A.R.V.E.L. additional information

Infrared radiation index sensors are the most accurate and proactive method of measuring appliance status. Ability to monitor and individually adjust individual hoods on a common fan/duct scenario. Ability to monitor multiple inputs (space temperature, space humidity, outdoor temperature and outdoor humidity) to maintain space comfort levels when used in conjunction with HVAC Highest overall operating savings when compared to conventional DCV systems WEB enable operation for remote monitoring

Kitchen Ventilation Solutions for tomorrows kitchen I Rudolf Kitzbichler

Generic DCV
Competitive DCV systems use exhaust air temperature to maintain exhaust airflow and beam sensors to detect cooking. Advantage: Generic system that can be used with any hood or cooking appliance Disadvantage: Inaccuracy. When multiple appliances under the hood, cooking on one of the appliances calls for maximum hood exhaust airflow. Arbitrary exhaust air temperature setting usually causing heat spilled into the kitchen

Benefits of Demand Control Ventilation

Energy saving up to 50% Exhaust hood system is automatically commissioned and balanced. Hoods will automatically start when appliances are switched on and stop as soon as cooking appliances cool down. Manual or on schedule start/stop is also available. Exhaust fan is controlled to maintain minimum static pressure to minimize energy consumption. System automatically detects and send warning signal if exhaust hood is operated without a filer or filters are clogged and need to be cleaned If exhaust temperature approaches dangerously high level system automatically reacts by increasing exhaust airflow and warns the operator before fire suppression system is engaged.
