PROJECT-SELECTED KITCHEN EXHAUST FAN
Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Fan
SourcePro coordinates commercial kitchen exhaust fan selection around the calculated airflow, total external static pressure, grease and temperature duty, roof or wall location, duct arrangement, motor supply, speed control, weather exposure and maintenance access. Direct-drive, belt-drive and heavy-duty upblast formats can be reviewed.
Overview
Product Overview
A fan cannot be selected correctly from airflow alone. Duct length and fittings, hood filters, air-treatment pressure drop, discharge arrangement, grease load, operating temperature, motor efficiency, noise and future dirty-filter condition all affect the duty point. SourcePro uses the completed ventilation brief to coordinate fan type, size, motor and accessories with the selected supplier.

Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Fan FAQ
Why do you need static pressure as well as airflow?
The fan must overcome resistance from filters, duct length, fittings, discharge and air-treatment equipment. Airflow alone is not enough to select the motor and fan speed.
Should I choose direct drive or belt drive?
The choice depends on airflow, pressure, control, maintenance, temperature and grease duty. SourcePro reviews the calculated duty point before recommending a path.
Can a standard kitchen fan be used for solid-fuel cooking?
Not automatically. Solid-fuel duty requires separate temperature, grease, spark/ember, duct and code review before fan selection.
