Engineering Solution & Testing
SEED Engineers undertook the challenge to assess kitchen odour impacts and devise effective mitigation strategies. Our innovative solution involved altering grease filtration technologies and optimising discharge configurations. To validate the effectiveness of our proposal, we utilised advanced odour modelling techniques, including Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to visualise and analyse odour propagation (Figure 2).
SEED Engineers developed two models: one representing the original mechanical design and another showcasing our proposed solution. The CFD simulations demonstrated the significant reduction in odour discharge achieved by the SEED design, ensuring compliance with F6P5 of NCC 2022. The thorough testing process confirmed the effectiveness of the solution in preventing any ‘odour nuisance’ within the precinct.
