Oprema za profesionalne kuhinje - Sestavni deli za prezračevanje kuhinj - 5. del: Kanali - Projektiranje in dimenzioniranje

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za projektiranje, gradnjo in delovanje kanalov, vključno s tehnično varnostjo, ergonomičnostjo in higieničnostjo.
Ta evropski standard se uporablja za prezračevalne sisteme v kuhinjah, povezanih prostorih in za druge naprave za predelavo živil, namenjenih komercialni uporabi. Kuhinje in povezani prostori so posebni prostori, v katerih se pripravljajo jedi, kjer se pere in čisti jedilni pribor ter opremo in se shranjuje hrana.
Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za prezračevalne sisteme v domačih kuhinjah.
Opredeljena je tudi metoda za preverjanje posamezne zahteve.
Če ni drugače določeno, se zahteve tega standarda preverjajo s pregledom in/ali meritvami.
OPOMBA   Upoštevajte morebitne dodatne ali alternativne nacionalne predpise glede namestitve, zahteve glede aparatov ter pregleda, vzdrževanja in obratovanja.

Overview

EN 16282-5:2017 - part of the CEN series on equipment for commercial kitchens - specifies design, construction and operation requirements for air ducts used in commercial kitchen ventilation systems. It applies to ventilation in commercial kitchens and associated food-processing areas (not domestic kitchens) and covers technical safety, fire protection, ergonomic and hygienic features. Each requirement includes a method of verification, typically by inspection and/or measurement.

Key Topics

• Scope and applicability: For commercial kitchen ventilation, exhaust/outlet and supply/outside air ducts; not for domestic kitchens.
• Functional design:
  • Minimise pressure loss through smooth internal joints, no sudden cross‑section changes and an inner bend radius ≥ 100 mm; angle changes < 45° where possible.
  • Avoid flexible ducts in kitchens (difficult to clean); certain outlet caps (e.g., “Chinaman’s hat”) are prohibited.
  • Dimensioning uses flow‑velocity guide values (see standard) while considering allowable sound pressure and pressure loss.
• Air leakage:
  • Supply/outside ducts: at least air leakage class B (EN 12237 / EN 1507).
  • Extract/outlet ducts: air leakage class C (EN 12237 / EN 1507 / EN 13779).
• Materials & construction:
  • Recommended materials include stainless steel (per EN 10088‑1), galvanised steel or suitable concrete with cleanable surfaces.
  • Mounting: galvanised supports with sound insulation, minimum M10 threaded rods; avoid galvanic contact between dissimilar metals.
• Fire protection:
  • Ducts must resist deformation in fire; allow for thermal expansion (restrained spans ideally ≤ 5 m or use compensators).
  • Ducts penetrating fire-resisting elements must match the fire resistance or incorporate shut‑off devices.
• Hygiene & maintenance:
  • Keep duct runs short, linear and sloped to a drainable collection point; avoid underside longitudinal joints.
  • Extract/outlet ducts must be aerosol‑tight; aerosol separation is required before aerosol enters ductwork.
  • Silencers must be health‑safe, cleanable, liquid‑ and aerosol‑resistant and removable with basic tools.
• Verification: Inspection and/or measurement per the standard (e.g., EN 12599 for system handover).

Applications

Who uses EN 16282-5:2017:

• HVAC and kitchen ventilation designers and consultants
• Architects and building services engineers
• Equipment manufacturers (ductwork, silencers, dampers)
• Installers, commissioning engineers and facility managers
• Inspectors and regulatory authorities ensuring safe, hygienic kitchen exhaust systems

Practical benefits: improved energy efficiency, reduced fire risk, easier cleaning and maintenance, and compliance with European ductwork performance classes.

Related Standards

• EN 16282 series (Parts 1–8) - broader kitchen ventilation requirements
• EN 12237, EN 1507 (duct leakage/strength), EN 13779 (ventilation performance), EN 10088‑1 (stainless steels), EN 12599 (handover measurement) - all normatively referenced.

Note: Local national regulations or additional appliance/inspection rules may apply and should be checked alongside this standard.
