About DCKV

What is a Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation System?

A DCKV system modulates exhaust & supply fan speed based on real-time cooking activity detected by optical & thermal sensors — eliminating constant full-speed operation and significantly reducing energy, noise and HVAC load.

System Definition

The AICOOKS DCKV system uses AI algorithms and high-precision sensors to auto-adjust damper angles and fan speeds — like a variable-frequency AC, but engineered for commercial kitchen exhaust.

Core Philosophy: "Let the kitchen breathe automatically — save energy, reduce noise, and create a comfortable cooking environment while meeting fire safety codes."

Why DCKV Matters

Traditional kitchen exhaust fans run 100% speed regardless of activity, wasting massive electricity. DCKV ensures fans operate only as needed, cutting energy 50%–80% while maintaining code-compliant airflow.

AI-Powered Intelligence

Real-time sensor data optimizes airflow dynamically by cooking load.

Up to 80% Energy Saving

Fans consume power only when cooking demands it. Dramatically reduce bills.

Noise Elimination

AI avoids constant high-speed & duct resonance — quieter kitchen.

Real-Time Monitoring

BMS integration, fault history & data tracing for all zones.

Core Components

How It Works

Four-Step Intelligent Ventilation Cycle

Closed-loop monitor → analyze → execute → optimize.

01

Detect

Optical & thermal sensors detect cooking activity & smoke in real-time.

02

Analyze

AI controller calculates required exhaust airflow minimizing energy use.

03

Execute

VFD ramps fan; dampers sync to maintain capture velocity. Supply air auto-adjusts.

04

Optimize

Continuous closed-loop ensures min code airflow & max energy saving.
