| description |
Water mist sprays were used in wide range of application. It depends on the spray
characteristic to suit a particular application. The modern commercial kitchen hood
ventilation system was adopted with the water mist nozzle technology as an
additional tool to increase the filtration efficiency. However, low level of filtration
effectiveness and high water consumption were the major problems among the
Commercial Kitchen Ventilation specialist. Therefore, this study aims to develop a
new mist spray technology and investigate the flow characteristics in commercial
kitchen hood system. At the same time, an appropriate recommended location to
install the nozzle in kitchen hood system was suggested. An extensive simulation and
experimental works were carried out to observe the flow pattern and spray
characteristics, ANSYS (FLUENT) was used for simulation wise. Meanwhile, an
experiment was conducted using Particles Image Velocimetry (PIV) to verify the
spray simulation result. The boundary condition for kitchen hood simulations was set
in the range of 0.235 m/s and 1.078 m/s for plumes and capture jet velocities
respectively. In the case of nozzle studies, five nozzles were tested with various
conditions; 1 bar (case A), 2 bar (case B) and 3 bar (case C).The results of the flow
pattern in commercial kitchen hood system shows that, the highest velocity of
plumes have more tendencies to flow pass through at the lower part of the filter.
However, all the plumes remains covering the entire filter surface. Meanwhile for the
nozzle studies, the novelty were each nozzle was able to produce water droplet size
less than 2.5 micron and penetration length more than 750 mm under low pressure
supply, which is in a range of 1 bar to 3 bar. Moreover, in comparison with
conventional nozzles configuration, this new approach suggested nozzle
configuration was reduce up to 50% of water consumption, which by adopted 3
numbers of nozzles instead of 6 numbers of nozzles in the commercial kitchen hood
system. Therefore, this nozzle will be used in industry for their benefits of water
consumption, filtration efficiency and reduced the safety limitations. |
