Fresh selection. Quality food preparation deserves quality air.
Restaurants and commercial kitchens have more in common than food preparation. Both need a comfortable environment offering the effective and efficient control of interior air. Mixing and matching air movement, control and conditioning equipment is like having too many cooks in the kitchen. A complete ventilation solution offering everything from a diner’s well-being to safety in the kitchen is the recipe for great indoor comfort.

Centrifugal Upblast Exhaust Fans
Centrifugal upblast exhaust fans are commonly specified for restaurant kitchen exhaust systems to safely discharge grease-laden air vertically away from the building. The upblast configuration supports grease management, minimizes roof contamination, and helps meet NFPA 96 requirements.
Blowers
Blowers are used in restaurant ventilation systems where higher static pressure and precise airflow control are required. Common applications include kitchen exhaust, make-up air systems, and specialty ventilation scenarios requiring robust, ducted air movement.
Make-Up Air Units (MUA)
Make-up air units supply conditioned outdoor air to replace air exhausted from kitchen hoods and other exhaust systems. In restaurant applications, MUAs are critical for maintaining building pressure balance, supporting proper hood capture performance, and improving comfort in both kitchen and dining areas.
Mixed Flow Supply Fans
Mixed flow supply fans deliver controlled airflow to restaurant HVAC and ventilation systems where consistent performance and moderate to high static pressure capability are required. These fans are commonly applied in air handling and supply systems serving dining areas, kitchens, and support spaces.
Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV)
Energy recovery ventilators are used in restaurant applications to manage required outdoor air ventilation while reducing energy consumption. By transferring energy between exhaust and incoming outdoor airstreams, ERVs help offset the high ventilation loads associated with dining areas and support spaces while maintaining occupant comfort and energy code compliance.
Ceiling Exhaust Fans
Square Inline Fans
Square inline fans are used within ducted restaurant ventilation systems to support localized exhaust or boost airflow in constrained spaces. Their compact, inline configuration allows engineers to address pressure losses and zoning requirements while maintaining predictable airflow performance.
Centrifugal Downblast Exhaust Fans
Centrifugal downblast exhaust fans are applied in restaurant facilities for general exhaust and non-grease-laden air removal. Their roof-mounted downblast discharge supports controlled airflow while reducing re-entrainment near outdoor air intakes.
Combination Fire/Smoke Dampers
Combination fire/smoke dampers are critical life safety components in restaurant ventilation systems, providing fire containment and smoke control within ducted air paths. These dampers support code compliance and proper compartmentalization while maintaining required airflow during normal operation.
Penthouse Louvers
Penthouse louvers are used to provide protected intake and exhaust airflow for rooftop or penthouse-mounted restaurant ventilation equipment. These louvers support weather protection, airflow performance, and architectural integration while maintaining required ventilation openings.
