In the high-utility commercial kitchens of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, ventilation is often the largest single contributor to your monthly TNB bill. A standard exhaust fan running at 100% capacity from open to close is a massive energy drain. EKG M&E Sdn Bhd provides the Kitchen Exhaust Energy Management System (KEEMS)—an intelligent M&E solution that transforms your ventilation from a "dumb" mechanical pump into a "smart," responsive network that only moves as much air as your cooking activity actually requires.
A KEEMS installation utilizes high-precision sensors to detect real-time effluent levels, allowing the system to "ramp down" during prep times and "ramp up" only during peak service.
We integrate a combination of sensors within the hood canopy to monitor the "Thermal Plume":
Optical (Opacity) Sensors: These "electronic eyes" detect smoke and steam. Even if heat is low, a sudden burst of smoke from a grill will trigger the sensors, ramping the fans to 100% instantly to ensure no smoke spills into the dining area.
Infrared (IR) Temperature Sensors: These monitor the heat intensity coming off appliances. As fryers and ranges reach operating temperature, the KEEMS signals the fan to increase airflow proportionally to the heat load.
The "Brain" of the KEEMS is the VFD, which modulates motor speed ($Hz$) based on sensor data.
The Cubic Law of Savings: Reducing fan speed by just 20% can reduce fan energy consumption by nearly 50%.
Filter Differential Pressure ($\Delta P$) Monitoring: KEEMS monitors the pressure across your grease filters. It identifies the exact moment they become "choked," preventing them from spiking your TNB Maximum Demand (MD).
As an HVAC and Energy Specialist, EKG ensures the KEEMS is a precision-integrated part of your facility's M&E infrastructure:
Synchronized Make-Up Air (MUA):
Proper KEEMS isn't just about the exhaust.
EECA 2024 & GBI Compliance:
Our KEEMS installations are designed to help you meet the latest Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024 mandates and improve your Building Energy Index (BEI), making it a key component for Green Building Index (GBI) certification.
Fire Suppression Integration:
In the event of a fire, the KEEMS overrides all energy-saving logic. It interlocks with your BOMBA fire system to perform emergency smoke extraction, ensuring full safety compliance.
