Análise das condições de ventilação de uma cozinha industrial da cidade de Carambeí - PR

Abstract

The present research has the objective of analyzing the general and local exhaust ventilation systems of a professional kitchen of an establishment in the city of Carambeí - PR, to verify if this kitchen has the appropriate components to remove contaminants emissions, as well as the renovation air in the work environment. The research method consists of visiting the kitchen to check the equipment present, carry out the measurements and perform photographic record of the environment. From the values obtained with the measurements, the capacity of the captors (hoods) was determined. As for the analysis of results, the airflow from natural ventilation was also determined and then the ventilation rate of the environment was determined. The results obtained showed that the values obtained for the airflow of the captors were higher than the airflow required to remove emissions from the furnace, calculated using the ABNT NBR 14518 standard. In this way, it was possible to conclude that the rate of the analyzed kitchen is within the recommended range and that local exhaust ventilation is capable of removing emissions from stoves and fryers.
