Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the static pressure loss of exhaust fan affected by each component of kitchen ventilation system which is consisted of kitchen hood, filter, flexible or rigid duct and exhaust cap. Different kinds of each part of the kitchen ventilation system were chosen respectively among the material and components mainly installed in apartment housing. The static pressure was measured by test chamber that air flow rate is able to be controlled by 4 nozzles, inverter fan and controller. As a result, a high static pressure fan must be used in order to effectively prevent the spread of odor and air pollutant occurred in the kitchen of high air-tightness housing kitchen ventilation system because static pressure was higher than expected. If not, each part of kitchen ventilation system which static pressure loss is low will be needed.
