A high-performance kitchen exhaust is only half of the equation. For every cubic meter of air removed by your hood, an equal amount must be replaced. EKG M & E Sdn Bhd specializes in Make-up Air Unit (MAU/MUA) Integration, ensuring your facility maintains perfect atmospheric balance. Without a dedicated MUA system, kitchens suffer from negative pressure, leading to "whistling" doors, poor indoor air quality, and reduced exhaust efficiency.
Precision Air Balancing We calculate the exact "replacement air" required (typically 80–90% of exhaust volume) to ensure your kitchen doesn't pull air from dining areas, preventing cooking odors from reaching your customers.
VFD-Linked Interlocking Systems Our MUA units are electronically interlocked with your exhaust fans via Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). When the exhaust ramps up, the MUA ramps up automatically, maintaining a constant pressure equilibrium.
Multi-Stage Air Filtration Incoming fresh air is passed through high-efficiency G4 or F7 filters, removing dust, insects, and urban pollutants before the air enters your food preparation environment.
Temperature & Humidity Control Depending on your facility's needs, we integrate cooling coils (DX or Chilled Water) to pre-condition the incoming air, ensuring your kitchen staff remains comfortable even during peak service hours.
Strategic Air Distribution We design perforated supply plenums or "low-velocity" diffusers located near the exhaust hood. This creates an "air curtain" effect that improves grease capture while preventing drafts that can cool food prematurely.
Energy-Efficient Heat Recovery For advanced installations, we offer Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV) that use the energy from the exhausted air to pre-temper the incoming fresh air, significantly lowering your total HVAC utility costs.
Acoustic Insulation & Noise Control Our MUA installations include double-skin insulated cabinetry and duct silencers to ensure that fresh air delivery is whisper-quiet and does not disrupt the kitchen's workflow.
Holistic HVAC Engineering We don't just "install a fan." We look at your building's entire mechanical ecosystem to ensure the MUA works in harmony with your central air conditioning and exhaust systems.
Prevention of "Sick Building Syndrome" By ensuring a constant supply of fresh, filtered oxygen, we help prevent the buildup of CO2 and carbon monoxide, protecting the long-term health of your kitchen brigade.
Regulatory & Health Compliance Our designs adhere to ASHRAE 62.1 (Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality) and local Malaysian building codes, ensuring your premises pass all mechanical inspections.
