Installing and Using a Korean BBQ Pipe in a Restaurant
The Korean BBQ pipe you're referring to is likely the exhaust system or smoke extraction system used in Korean BBQ restaurants. This system is essential for removing smoke, grease, and odors that result from grilling meat at the table. Here’s a general guide on how to install and use such a pipe system, often referred to as an BBQ exhaust hood or smoke extraction system, in a Korean BBQ restaurant.
Installation Process:
A.Design and Planning:
· Identify the type of BBQ grill: Korean BBQ grills can be gas, charcoal, or electric. The smoke produced by each will be different, and charcoal grills tend to produce the most smoke. This will affect the type of exhaust system you need.
· Determine the number of tables: The number of grills and the table layout will help you design the exhaust system. Each table should ideally have a dedicated exhaust or venting system.
· Ceiling height & room size: The size of the room will also affect the type and power of the exhaust system you need.
· Choose the exhaust type: There are two common types of BBQ exhaust systems:
o Ducted exhaust systems: These require a vent that leads outside of the restaurant. This type is more effective at removing smoke but requires an outside vent and more installation work.
o Recirculating exhaust systems: These systems filter smoke and odors and then return the cleaned air into the restaurant. They are easier to install but may be less effective than ducted systems.
B. Hood Installation:
· Mounting: Securely mount the hood to the ceiling or wall using appropriate hardware.
· Ductwork: Install ductwork to connect the hood to the exterior exhaust vent. The ductwork should be properly sized and insulated to minimize heat loss.
· Fire Damper: Install a fire damper in the ductwork to prevent the spread of fire in case of a fire incident.
· Exhaust Fan: Install a powerful exhaust fan to efficiently remove smoke and odors.
Check filters: If you're using a recirculating system, make sure the filters are clean and in good condition before service begins.
