Kitchen Exhaust
These are the standards in SynC Standards that cover Kitchen Exhaust. Each one is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide, with the standards each is verified against. All of it is written and maintained by SynC, free to read without an account, and published under CC BY 4.0.
A standard usually carries several topics, so most of the entries below also appear under neighbouring subjects. The topics each one carries are listed on its own page.
Standards
- HVAC Fans
General-purpose, field- or factory-installed air-moving equipment serving commercial, institutional, and light-industrial HVAC systems. Covers centrifugal fans (housed and plenum/plug type), axial fans (vaneaxial, tubeaxial, and propeller), inline (cabinet and tubular) fans, utility/SWSI exhaust fans, roof- and wall-mounted power ventilators (upblast and downblast), ceiling-mounted exhaust fans, and dedicated kitchen grease-exhaust fans. Addresses aerodynamic and sound rating and certification (AMCA 210 / 300 / 211 / 311), Fan Energy Index compliance under ASHRAE 90.1 (AMCA 208), AMCA construction class and drive arrangement, direct-drive and belt-drive selection, induction and electronically commutated (EC) motors, bearings, materials and finishes, spark-resistant construction for hazardous exhaust (AMCA 99), accessories, vibration isolation, and the electrical and controls interface to variable-frequency drives and the building automation system.
