Objectives: Many cases of lung cancer have been reported by school kitchen workers as occupational cancer. Twenty-eight schools in Gyeongsangnam-do Province were selected to evaluate the effect of improved kitchen ventilation systems. Ventilation characteristics before and after renovation were compared and design techniques were identified. Methods: In the design stage for kitchen ventilation systems, expert intervention was used to improve the designs. Ventilation characteristics and air quality were evaluated before and after the renovations. Hood face velocity and fan flow rate were measured and the smoke visualization technique was used to evaluate the capability of protecting worker's breathing zone. The concentrations of PM_0.3 were measured at points not adjacent to cooking equipment because these concentrations fluctuate greatly. Results: Mean hood face velocity increased from 0.29 m/s before renovation to 0.7m/s after renovation. The concentrations of PM_0.3 showed a roughly 95% reduction. Concentrations of CO showed more than a 75% reduction. Smoke visualization showed greater protection of workers' breathing zone. Conclusions: Advanced design techniques for school kitchen ventilation systems were applied to renovate old kitchen ventilation systems. The performance of the new kitchen ventilation systems was nearly excellent. Further improvement of design techniques is still needed, however.

This paper is contents that measure the ventilation rates and temperature by driving condition of exhaust fan, vapor, contaminant occurrence amount of carbon dioxide etc. In kitchen of apartment house. The ventilation rates in the apartment kitchen measured by Tracer Gas Method. And, temperature of when cook by gas table hood lower part 10cm and floor upside 10cm of kitchen central part, 120cm, 210cm heights measure. As ventilation rates measurement result, ventilation number of times was 0.7(number of times/hour) when did not to operate exhaust fan. but we were measured by 2.3(number of times/hour) when drove strongly. As temperature measurement result at cooking by gas table, temperature showed highest in hood lower part 10cm of case that do not operate exhaust fan. Temperature at kitchen central was most low in 10cm height in talc floor, and 210cm were measured highest. Concentration of carbon dioxide is very high by 4,350ppm after measurement time 10 minutes in state who do not operate exhaust fan at cooking by gas table.

This study regards distributions of flow in the ventilation system used in the kitchen hood in a ship. In this study, for describing the flow in the ventilation system, three-dimensional steady-state turbulence was assumed for the governing equation. When the plume was formed, three gases, CO, CO2, and HCL, in the flow field of the hood were considered as the plume, and it was assumed that the sum of concentrations of the gases was 100%. As a result, it could be confirmed that the plume was smoothly discharged when the flow rate of the supply was ten times lower than that of the exhaust.

It is a matter of amazing to realize that contamination of air by fuel gas in recent daily life at home directly effects to health of Korean housewives. A study in finding the status and the amount of co gas in the kitchen was con-ductedrelating the size of kitchen, door of exit, ventilation window, constraction of built in-brick stove (Boo Tu Mack), fuel management, in order to extend beneficial and improved management of housing. From the result of study, it was pointed out that constractional improvement of built-in-brick stove, heating floor (Ondol), timny, and ventilation window would been emergently needed. Demonstration studies were obtained in finding differences of the amount of co gas respectively in cooking time as 50-55ppm, and in not cooking time as 50-80p,p,m in the kitchen both, original and improved. Definite differences were found depend upon the condition with, without, or direction of the ventilation window. In addition to all above results, significant influence on gas pulling power of Ondol tunnel was shown. Many houses of Apartment house for have middle and low income groups been recognized so poor for health as indicated over 100ppm of co gas if window were not opened because of poor ventilation and weak gas pulling power of Ondol tunnel.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the effective ventilation strategies and control methods that can minimize energy cost maintaining acceptable IAQ level in apartment house. The effects of the air-cleaning and heat-recovery ventilation system on IAQ under various operating conditions are investigated based on the experimental and CFD analyzed results. The results can be summarized as follows. (1) When a ventilator is not operated, the concentration of several pollutants may highly show in the house even though environment-friendly building materials are applied. Therefore, a mechanical ventilation system is required to obtain proper ventilation. (2) The pollutant concentration is noticeably deceased under air-cleaning/ventilation mode of air-clinic system, however, pollutant of kitchen is stagnant, because fresh air is not carried into the kitchen. (3) When air-clinic system is only equipped at master bedroom and living room, the system does not effectively deliver fresh air throughout the whole house, and then high pollutant concentration is obtained in each room. In contrast the average pollutant concentration meets the guideline when air-clinic system is installed at each room. (4) The air-cleaning/ventilation mode significantly affects on room ventilation in comparison with ventilation mode only.
