If your kitchen is smoky despite the fan running at full speed, the issue is often not the fan itself, but a breakdown in Static Pressure. Static pressure is the resistance your fan must overcome to move air through filters, ducts, and bends. EKG M & E Sdn Bhd provides professional Static Pressure Testing, using precision instrumentation to identify "choke points" and ensure your ventilation system is operating within its designed performance curve.
Precision Manometer Readings Our technicians use calibrated digital manometers to measure the pressure differential across key components, identifying exactly where airflow is being restricted.
Duct Resistance Analysis We calculate the "Total External Static Pressure" (TESP) by measuring the resistance caused by long duct runs, sharp elbows, and internal transitions that may have been poorly designed or installed.
Filter & PCU Loading Assessment We test the pressure drop across grease filters and Pollution Control Units (PCU). High static pressure here often indicates a need for deep cleaning or a change in filter media to restore airflow.
Fan Curve Verification By comparing our real-world pressure readings against the manufacturer’s fan curve, we determine if your fan is "slipping" or if it was undersized for the current duct configuration.
System Balancing & Damper Tuning If the static pressure is too high, we adjust volume control dampers and VFD settings to redistribute airflow, ensuring that every hood in the kitchen receives its fair share of suction.
Identification of Air Leaks Sudden drops in static pressure can indicate "bypassing" or leaks in the ductwork. We pinpoint these gaps to ensure 100% of the smoky air reaches the exhaust fan.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Reports Upon completion, you receive a technical report detailing the Pascal ($Pa$) or Inches of Water Column ($in\ w.g.$) readings, along with actionable recommendations to optimize your system’s efficiency.
Engineering-Led Problem Solving We don't just find the "clog"; we look at the fluid dynamics of your entire kitchen. As M&E specialists, we understand how air behaves in complex commercial environments.
Optimized Energy Consumption High static pressure forces your fan motor to work harder, leading to higher electricity bills and premature motor failure. Our testing helps you return to a low-resistance, high-efficiency state.
Improved Air Quality & Safety Correct static pressure ensures that grease-laden vapors are fully evacuated, preventing them from settling on surfaces or leaking into dining areas.
