Went to one of those big Everrads Family themed pub/hotel complex last Friday. Problem is the kitchen, its too hot !

No doubt the kitchen is a very , very busy place with three huge 6 gas burner cookers, 12 overhead filter and extract fan systems, counter refrigerators.,etc

Designers tried to bring in fresh air from outside by installing a huge 30inch fan, ducted to several vents in the ceiling. Also two air extracter fans of size 24 inch diameter, take the air out. It is not doing the trick. Its still hot in there.

Now how do I cool this working environment sufficient enough to satisfy the cooks who are complaining bitterly about the heat. I am thinking air conditioner, something like the Hitachi Econofresh system located in the roof void, but Ill never get it in there, the roof space is not big enough.

Im thinking air conditioning, but I am loathe to specify an air conditioning system in case it doesnt work out. Then Im really in it.....

Im not sure if members have come across a similar scenario .
