Restaurant & cafe HVAC in Al Shurooq

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.

Yes, when the hood and AC both run at full capacity, pressure in the dining area can drop. We need to reset flow rates and make-up air.

Dust in Al Shurooq is heavy because of open spaces and traffic. We recommend high-efficiency filters changed every month or two, depending on load.

Yes, distance helps, but the hood must exhaust kitchen air efficiently and avoid letting odours spread through shared ducts or common passages.

Yes, without enough make-up air, the hood pulls chilled air from the dining room, raising temperature and overloading the AC.
