The objective of this study is to find major variables which influence the performance of kitchen and bathroom exhaust systems in high-rise apartment buildings. For this purpose, the influencing factors on the exhaust airflow rates from the kitchen or bathroom are identified and in every cases, which are made of combinations between the influencing factors, the exhaust airflow rates are calculated through the simulations. The results of the simulation show that the exhaust airflow rates from the kitchen and bathroom mainly depends on outdoor air temperature, number of floors, airtightness of the building envelope, fan on ratio, vertically connected to same shaft, exhaust fan capacity for kitchen or bathroom, roof ventilator capacity and shaft area for kitchen or bathroom exhaust.

The purpose of this study was to promote the utilization of wind velocity of kitchen and bathroom exhaust ducts for wind power generation in high-rise apartments. The research content can be summarized as follows: 1) Nine high-rise apartments were examined for the installation of kitchen and bathroom exhaust ducts located in the pipe shaft (PS) section. After selecting simulation candidates, a simulation was performed with the STAR-CCM+ Ver 5.06 program. 2) Of nine high-rise apartments, seven had kitchen and bathroom exhaust ducts, whose cross section was in the range of $0.16m^2{\sim}0.4m^2$. The area ratio between the exhaust ducts and PS section (cross section of exhaust duct/area of PS section ${\times}$ 100) was on average 3.2%. 3) The simulation results were analyzed. As a result, the smaller cross section kitchen and bathroom exhaust ducts had, the more advantages there were for increasing exhaust wind velocity. If an out air inlet duct is installed to the old kitchen and bathroom exhaust ducts, it will increase exhaust wind velocity by 3.01~3.98m/s and contribute to the proper wind velocity level (3.0m/s). 4) When the simultaneous usage rate between the kitchen and bathroom exhaust fan increased from 20% to 60%, exhaust wind velocity increased. The "entire house holds" condition for exhaust fan operation provided more even exhaust wind velocity than the "some house holds" condition. 5) Exhaust wind velocity increased in the order of amplified (T-3), induced (T-2) and vertical (T-1) top of kitchen and bathroom exhaust ducts. Of them, the amplified type (T-3) was under the least influence of external wind velocity and thus the most proper for kitchen and bathroom exhaust duct tops.

This study set out to review the air current fluidity in exhaust common ducts by installing an inlet pipe at a leisure space in the PS(Pipe Shaft)room for the sake of wind power generation with kitchen and bathroom exhaust common ducts of all the equipment and air conditioning shafts in high-rise apartment. The air current functionality of kitchen and bathroom exhaust common ducts was reviewed by analyzing wind velocity changes according to changes to the area of exhaust common ducts through a simulation, changes to the wind velocity of the kitchen hood by applying an external inlet pipe, changes to the usage factor of exhaust common ducts, and changes to wind velocity by altering the form of the ventilator at the bottom of the old exhaust common duct. It was a basic study on the utilization of exhaust wind velocity in exhaust common ducts.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the improvement strategies for exhaust performance in composite kitchen hoods. The Exhaust only hood, the 2-way compensating hood and the 3-way compensating hood were selected, and the laboratory experiments were performed to compare the local exhaust efficiency and the indoor temperature distributions according to the variations of the hood type and supply/exhaust air velocity. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. The compensating hood has better performance than exhaust only hood in the aspect of local exhaust efficiency and temperature distribution. The 3-way compensating hood shows the best performance when the supply air velocity is about 2.7 m/s, and the 2-way compensating hood at the supply air velocity of 3.5 w/s. In the same exhaust rate condition, if the exhaust area of the hood is increased and therefore the exhaust velocity is lowered, the supply air velocity is also lowered to get the optimum performance. The optimum exhaust velocity range of the commercial kitchen hood which derived from this study is 0.48 ∼ 0.55 m/s.

This paper is contents that measure the ventilation rates and temperature by driving condition of exhaust fan, vapor, contaminant occurrence amount of carbon dioxide etc. In kitchen of apartment house. The ventilation rates in the apartment kitchen measured by Tracer Gas Method. And, temperature of when cook by gas table hood lower part 10cm and floor upside 10cm of kitchen central part, 120cm, 210cm heights measure. As ventilation rates measurement result, ventilation number of times was 0.7(number of times/hour) when did not to operate exhaust fan. but we were measured by 2.3(number of times/hour) when drove strongly. As temperature measurement result at cooking by gas table, temperature showed highest in hood lower part 10cm of case that do not operate exhaust fan. Temperature at kitchen central was most low in 10cm height in talc floor, and 210cm were measured highest. Concentration of carbon dioxide is very high by 4,350ppm after measurement time 10 minutes in state who do not operate exhaust fan at cooking by gas table.

There have been many cases when an air curtain installed in the apartment could not remove the gases well, such as carbon dioxide and particles like as smoke, oils, and vapors generated during cooking to disperse pollutants into the room. This study used a numerical analysis to show how the pollutant-removing performance of the range hood is changed when the air curtain is installed front of the kitchen table. The result of this study was that when the air amount supplied by an air curtain through the slot was about 50% of the exhaust amount, the capturing efficiency of the range hood for pollutants increased 90% more than without an air curtain. Even when the amount of supplied air was small, the capturing efficiency improved markedly with the use of an upward air curtain. In case that the air flow rate of the slot was greater than 60%, the capturing efficiency decreased.

Various effluents generated in cooking processes contribute a great deal to indoor air pollution among many other indoor pollutants such as dusts from outdoor and carbon dioxide from human body. Kitchen exhaust hoods are not believed to exhaust indoor contaminants properly in many cases, while generating too much noise. Instead of focusing on individual products of kitchen hoods, we should address the problem by attacking the ventilation system as a whole including vertical shafts and building air-tightness. In this study, it is intended to investigate the pressure distribution along the vertical shaft depending on various system parameters, such as shaft size, concurrent hood usage rate, roof fan, inlet pressure loss, and outdoor temperature. The maximum static pressure in the vertical shaft has been obtained using the method of design of experiments and analyzed by the analysis of variance. The results can be used for the design of kitchen exhaust systems by analyzing the pressure distributions in vertical shafts.
