General Room Data
The room number, the room name and the room temperature for the heating or cooling mode are displayed on the left-hand side, which you can adjust as required. Depending on the module, you can use the button to the right of the room temperature to open the Temperatures dialog, in which you can select the temperature variables stored in the master tables and create new temperature variables.
The area resulting from the clear internal dimensions and the clear internal dimensions of the room are displayed in brackets in the right-hand area.
: Opens the Room Data dialog in which you can adjust the parameters of the room.
Kitchen Type
Drop-down list to select the type of kitchen. For the different kitchen types, corresponding simultaneity factors, which you can adjust as required, are provided in connection with the kitchen names.
Kitchen Name
Defines the size of the kitchen. Which sizes are available depends on the Type of Kitchen. For the different kitchen sizes, corresponding simultaneity factors, which you can adjust as required, are provided in connection with the Kitchen Type.
Simultaneity Factor
: One click restores the default value in accordance with the guidelines.
Flow Type
Drop-down list for defining the air flow pattern in the room, which is created by the introduction of supply air with air handling units. For the different flow types, guideline-compliant washout degrees are stored, which can be adjusted if necessary.

: One click restores the default value in accordance with the guidelines.
Areas: Exhaust Air Hoods, Exhaust Air Ceilings, Free-Standing Installations
In the tables in these areas, you create the blocks that contain the individual kitchen appliances. Click in an empty row or use F5 and select Kitchen Extract Air Hood or Kitchen Extract Air Ceiling or Free Installation in the context menu to create a new block. After opening the context menu again, the Appliance entry is available to add a line for a kitchen appliance to the block. You can then open the Table A1: Specific sensible and latent heat emission and moisture emission from kitchen appliances to the room dialog via the button in the row of the appliance. In this dialog, you can select different types of kitchen appliances for which default values for the heat and water vapor emission of the appliances to the room are stored from the directive. If you want to add further appliances to a block and the block is not the last block added, select the row with the block, press F5 and select Appliance in the context menu.
By clicking you have the possibility to copy the contents of the table with or without column heading and paste it into Excel.
If you have selected individual rows or cells, you can copy the selected data with the key combinations Ctrl+C (with column heading) or Ctrl+Shift+C (without column heading) and paste it into Excel, for example.
Column | Description |
---|---|
Name | Defines the name of the block or appliances and allows appliances to be added. Changed appliance names are shown in bold. Remove changed appliance names to restore the original designation. Clicking on |
Number | Always displays 1 for blocks and allows you to adjust the number of appliances in a block. |
Length | Specifies the length of the block from which, together with the Width, the hydraulic diameter required for calculating the thermal volume flow of the block is determined. For blocks in which the z-values of devices vary, the hydraulic diameters of the individual devices are decisive for determining the thermal volume flow of the block and the dimensions of the individual devices are required. |
Width | Specifies the width of the block from which, together with the Length, the hydraulic diameter required for calculating the thermal volume flow of the block is determined. For blocks in which the z-values of devices vary, the hydraulic diameters of the individual devices are decisive and the dimensions of the individual appliance are required. |
Height | Defines the height of the block or appliance. |
Hydraulic Diameter | Sets the hydraulic diameter of the block or device, determined from the Length and Width, which is required for determining the thermal flow of the block. You can adjust the values determined if necessary. Adjusted values are displayed in bold. Remove adjusted values to restore the original value. |
z | Sets the height of extraction above the block. For free installation blocks, the distance to the nearest detection equipment that transfers the loads of the block must be specified. Note: If a block contains devices with z-values that deviate from the z-value of the block, the thermal volume flow of the block is determined from the thermal volume flows of the individual devices. The dimensions of the individual devices are required to determine the thermal volume flows of the devices, as otherwise the hydraulic diameters of the devices cannot be calculated. If a z-value of a device differs from the z-value of its block, the value is shown in bold. If necessary, remove the z-values shown in bold to restore the z-value of its block. |
Arrangement of the Heat Source | Defines the position of the block in the room that influences the reduction factor r. |
r | Sets the reduction factor dependent on the Arrangement of the Heat Source, which you can adjust if necessary. Values greater than 0 up to and including 1 can be entered. Adjusted values are displayed in bold. Remove adjusted values to restore the original value. |
V_h | Enables application of an additional direct supply air volume flow for blocks under exhaust hoods, which is blown into the exhaust hood. This leads to a stabilization of the flow, as the induction effect of the supply air jet results in an improved extraction effect. |
Operating Mode | Defines the operating mode of the devices. If you have selected a kitchen appliance type in the dialog Table A1: Specific Sensible And Latent Heat Emission As Well As Moisture Emission From Kitchen Appliances To The Room, for which values are available for both electric or steam heating and gas heating, the values for heat and water vapor emissions to the room will automatically adjust when switching the operating mode. |
Q_S | Sets the sensible heat emission of the devices to the room. From the sensible heat emission and the connection power P, the Sensible Heat Load Q_S_K is determined, taking into account the convection proportion. Adjusted values are displayed in bold. Remove adjusted values to restore the original value. |
D | Determines the water vapor output of the appliances to the room. Adjusted values are displayed in bold. Remove adjusted values to restore the original value. |
P | Sets the connection power per appliance. From the connection power and the sensible heat emission Q_s, the Sensible Heat Load Q_S_K is determined, taking into account the convection proportion. |
Q_S_K | Displays the sensible heat load per device, which is determined based on the sensible heat emission Q_s and the connection capacity P, considering the convective portion. |
V_th | Displays the thermal volume flow of the block. For blocks in which the z-values of appliances vary, the thermal volume flow rates of the individual devices are displayed. |
V_erf | Displays the resulting extraction volume flow of the block required for complete heat and material extraction above the block. |
Area: Dishwashers
In this table, you define the dishwashers in the room with its wash ware so that the heat emissions from the dishwashers and the wash ware are considered in the room during the determination of the air volume, and the required supply and exhaust air flow rates are calculated. Click in an empty line or use F5 and select Dishwasher in the context menu to add a dishwasher. After reopening the context menu, you can use the Wash Ware entry to add a row for wash ware to the dishwasher. You can then use the button in the wash ware row to open a context menu with various types of wash ware, for which guideline-compliant factors for the heat capacity of the wash ware (F_s) are stored. If you want to add more wash ware to a dishwasher and the machine is not the last machine added, select the line of the machine, press F5 and select Wash Ware in the context menu.
By clicking you have the possibility to copy the contents of the table with or without column heading and paste it into Excel.

This factor, the hourly number of wash items n and the cooling factor f_A are used to determine the heat transfer of the wash items to the room (Q_washware).
