Ventilation for restaurant kitchens in airports and travel hubs
Fire safety is of critical importance and there are opportunities for ductless technology
1,4 billion incoming international tourists a year and probably 1,8 in 2030. This represents just a part of the travel hubs’ constantly increasing footfall, which is predicted to become even bigger, with new and stronger demands, requiring specific solutions. That’s what Halton designs for their catering spaces.
Halton offers full design for catering spaces, incorporating fire safety strategies, including the opportunity of reduction in long expensive duct runs.
Typical challenges
Fire Risk is an inevitable consequence of commercial kitchens’ ventilation systems. In the unlikely event of a fire inside a travel hub, the financial consequences can be severe as it often means the closing of the terminal or station where it occurs. As such, restaurant kitchens located in airports and travel hubs require specific attention and provisions to make them safe but also energy efficient and comfortable for the chefs and their teams.
Another aspect of the travel hub, considering the ever growing size and architectural complexity of the terminals, is the difficulty “locate” a route to atmosphere for the ventilation discharge at a reasonable cost. Adding to the complexity are the challenge in balancing multiple ventilation systems within a terminal. The challenges for ventilation in Travel Hubs are many.
