Restaurant & cafe HVAC in Al Salmiyah Al Sharqiyah

Make-up air replaces the volume the hood extracts, its purpose is pressure balance not necessarily cooling. Kitchen air conditioning tackles burner heat and lowers temperature for the staff. Both may be needed, and the site survey determines which your kitchen requires.

Yes. In Jeddah's heat and humidity, fans alone are not enough during peak months. The right option depends on whether the space has an open roof or a partial enclosure and how large the area is. We assess the spot and propose suitable units after the survey.

The first step is design: we position kitchen units in airflow paths away from the grease rising off the burners. In preventive maintenance contracts we schedule pressure coil cleaning before build-up raises stress on the compressor, because early cleaning is simpler and less costly than a repair.

The decision follows a duct inspection: we look for air leaks, grease build-up inside, and sheet corrosion from Jeddah's salty air. If the structure is sound we seal joints with Foster sealants and re-insulate with Kimmco. If not, we fabricate new sections in our workshop and replace the damaged runs.

Yes, every person in the room adds heat and moisture, and this is significant in Jeddah's summer. Design therefore accounts for full occupancy load, not average attendance, and diffusers are positioned to deliver even cooling across all tables. The exact layout is confirmed after the site survey.

Ventilation may be strong but pressure is unbalanced so steam returns to the coils instead of venting out. We design a system that pulls steam directly from the kitchen and coordinates extraction power with outdoor supplies so steam exits oriented outward.

We design completely separate air paths for kitchen and dining area and install dampers at partition openings to prevent cool air from the dining room mixing with kitchen steam.

Yes, a powerful hood creates strong negative pressure pulling air from stairs, corridors and offices. We add strong outdoor air supply to the kitchen only so it draws from outside instead of inside the building.

We add humidity removal (dehumidification) in the kitchen exhaust path, and design coils to handle high humidity with regular preventive maintenance to stop corrosion and mould.
