Greig City Academy is a co-educational comprehensive school of 787 students aged 11 to 19. To support the expansion of their catering facilities they required a bespoke ventilation system in line with their new kitchen. Kitchen Air designed, manufactured and installed a full ventilation system with Central Service Void and Risers.

All plant and equipment was to be serviceable from the kitchen area below, therefore requiring a compact, powerful system with low levels of operating noise. The bespoke island canopy incorporated a central V-type filter bank extracted from various points along the cook line and discharged through a low resistance vertical discharge cowl.

Replacement air is introduced through full length perforated diffusers along the face and underside of the canopy. All ductwork and plant is situated above the canopy and in the roof space, with removable access points where necessary.

A central service void was installed with two riser sections incorporating electrical, gas and water supplies.

The kitchen ventilation system, canopies and accompanying equipment were designed, manufactured and installed by Kitchen Air in strict compliance with the new standard for kitchen ventilation, DW172.
