Automatically adjusts damper angles and fan speeds based on real-time cooking activity. Save 50%–80% on electricity costs while maintaining optimal kitchen environment. Compatible with Halton and premium ventilation systems.
A DCKV system modulates exhaust and supply fan speed based on real-time cooking activity detected by optical and current sensors — eliminating constant full-speed operation and significantly reducing energy, noise, and HVAC load.
The AICOOKS DCKV (Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation) system utilizes intelligent AI algorithms and high-precision sensors to automatically adjust damper angles and fan speeds based on real-time sensor feedback — similar to how a variable-frequency air conditioner works, but engineered specifically for commercial kitchen exhaust systems.
Traditional commercial kitchen exhaust fans run at full speed regardless of cooking activity, wasting massive amounts of electricity and over-ventilating the space. A DCKV system ensures fans operate only as needed, cutting energy consumption by 50%–80% while maintaining code-compliant airflow and improving kitchen comfort.
Smart algorithms process sensor data in real-time to optimize airflow dynamically based on cooking load.
Variable speed operation ensures fans consume power only when cooking activity demands it. Dramatically reduce electricity bills.
Advanced AI eliminates duct resonance and electromagnetic noise by avoiding constant high-speed operation.
Monitor all kitchen zones with data tracing, fault history, and remote management via BMS integration.
Every AICOOKS DCKV system is built with industrial-grade components designed for seamless integration with existing commercial kitchen ventilation infrastructure.
The brain of the entire exhaust system. Houses the AI controller, VFD drives, and processes sensor inputs from all connected kitchen hoods.
Microprocessor unit with cooking zone logic and manual override mode. Enables stepless variable-speed operation of exhaust fans from 2.2kW to 55kW.
Stainless steel balanced dampers synchronized with fan speed. Automatically adjusts airflow based on real-time cooking zone demand.
High-precision heat and smoke detection sensors installed above each hood.
The DCKV system continuously monitors, analyzes, and optimizes kitchen exhaust airflow in a closed-loop cycle.
Optical and thermal sensors above each hood detect cooking activity and smoke levels in real-time. No manual override needed.
AI controller calculates required exhaust airflow based on cooking load, hood type, and zone configuration. Optimizes for minimum energy use.
VFD ramps fan speed up or down; modulating dampers synchronize to maintain proper capture velocity. Supply air adjusts automatically.
Continuous closed-loop ensures minimum code airflow while maximizing energy savings. System learns and adapts to kitchen patterns over time.
Traditional constant-volume kitchen exhaust wastes energy and creates discomfort. See how DCKV transforms each problem into a solution.
Fans run at 100% speed even when no cooking is happening, wasting thousands in electricity monthly.
DCKV modulates fan speed to match cooking demand. Save 50%–80% on energy costs.
Inadequate capture velocity leads to smoke escaping into the kitchen, creating unsafe working conditions.
Sensors detect smoke instantly and ramp up exhaust. Maintains code-compliant capture velocity at all times.
Constant high-speed fan operation creates duct vibration and unbearable noise levels in the kitchen.
Variable speed avoids resonant frequencies. AI actively eliminates duct resonance for a quieter kitchen.
Without monitoring, kitchen managers have no visibility into fan performance, energy usage, or potential faults.
Built-in LCD display and optional BMS/IoT integration. Track energy, runtime, and alarms in real-time.
Exhaust fans running at full speed create negative pressure, pulling conditioned air out and increasing HVAC costs.
DCKV balances exhaust with supply air modulation. Reduces HVAC heating/cooling load by 20%–30%.
Constant full-speed operation wears out fan motors, belts, and bearings — leading to frequent breakdowns and costly repairs.
Reduced runtime at high speed extends equipment life. Lower maintenance frequency and longer motor lifespan.
The AICOOKS DCKV system is designed to work alongside your existing ventilation equipment and building management systems.
Coordinates with UV-C air cleaning systems for enhanced grease and odor removal.
Integrates with gas alarm systems to trigger emergency exhaust protocols automatically.
