INTRODUCTION
The recommended heat gain values from typical commercial cooking appliances and ancillary kitchen
equipment currently published in the ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook were obtained through
ASHRAE 391-RP completed in 1984 (Alereza, 1984) and subsequently by Fisher (Fisher, 1998).
Although a number of revisions have been made to Table 5, Recommended Rates of Heat Gain from
Typical Commercial Cooking Appliances, in Chapter 30 (ASHRAE, 2005), there remained concern
with respect to the thoroughness and accuracy of this information. As a result, the cooling loads
currently specified for commercial kitchen HVAC systems may be difficult to estimate and potentially
inaccurate.
It was recognized that Table 5 did not provide a complete list of equipment that may be specified in a
commercial kitchen design. Thus, the test matrix for the ASHRAE 1362-RP (Swierczyna, 2008)
identified 20 additional appliances to be tested with the goal of improving the information available in
Table 5. To compliment the specified appliances, refrigeration equipment was added to the test
matrix.
To improve the usability of the data, the heat gain values are reported in more relevant parameters for
many equipment types. Similarly, the classification and reported heat gain of reach-in refrigerators
and freezers should follow industry convention (e.g., single-door, two-door, or three-door) rather than
heat gain on a volumetric basis to be consistent with industry convention and design specifications.
The objective of this ASHRAE research project was to refine and expand the database for heat gain
to space from commercial foodservice equipment and, where applicable for hooded appliances, report
the exhaust ventilation rate required for capture and containment using the same test configuration
used for heat gain testing. The primary goals of the study were to provide more reliable heat gain
data, improve appliance categorization in Table 5, and improve the application guidelines in the
ASHRAE Handbook. A parallel goal was to report the exhaust ventilation rates found for each
appliance (Sobiski, 2008). As a result, the engineer will have a more comprehensive understanding of
the overall kitchen design, which will help to accurately calculate cooling loads, design HVAC
systems, and specify exhaust hoods.
The research project undertook the testing of both hooded and un-hooded equipment types. For the
hooded cooking appliances, the study determined the radiant heat gain to space during idle (ready-tocook) conditions. For some equipment, the heat gain was determined during representative usage,
such as dishwashers washing dishes. For un-hooded appliances, where the kitchen air conditioning
load is based on total enthalpy, the radiant and convective loads for the appliances were established,
including the latent contribution.
This paper presents the heat gain to space results for 83 appliances under 100 test conditions. The
heat loads are discussed with respect to the appliances' energy consumption rates and tabulated in a
format similar to the existing Table 5, Recommended Rates of Heat Gain from Typical Commercial
Cooking Appliances.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
Appliance Specifications and Calibration
Appliances were specified and chosen according to Table 5, Recommended Rates of Heat Gain from
Typical Commercial Cooking Appliances. The appliances were calibrated according to the appropriate
ASTM Standard Test Methods. In selected cases, derivatives of the test procedures were applied to
the appliance under consideration. In other cases, where the ASTM Standard Test Method did not
exist, the calibration was performed to represent the typical operation of the appliance.
Hood Specifications
Most hooded appliances were evaluated in the rightmost position under a wall-mounted canopy hood
that measured 10.0 feet long by 4.0 feet deep by 2.0 feet tall (3.05 m by 1.22 m by 0.61 m). The front
lower edge of the hood was located at 6.5 feet (1.98 m) above the finished floor. Alternative hoods
were used as needed to accommodate unique appliance dimensions. For appliances requiring a
canopy hood greater than 4.0 feet (1.22 m) deep, a 1.0-foot (0.30 m) extension was added to the
canopy hood. For appliances requiring a 5.0-foot (1.52 m) deep canopy hood but better tested on an
individual basis, a 5.0 foot by 5.0 foot (1.52 m by 1.52 m) wall-mounted canopy hood was used.
Appliances such as dishwashers and holding cabinets were well suited for this hood. In some cases,
a 1.0-foot (0.30 m) rear filler panel was used to reduce the open area of the hood. The setup of the
10.0-foot hood is shown in Figure 1, the 5.0-foot hood is shown in Figure 2, and the 2-foot hood setup
is shown in Figure 3.

Airflow Visualization Systems
Focusing schlieren and shadowgraph systems were the primary tools used for airflow visualization
(Sobiski, 2008). Airflow visualization was necessary to verify complete capture and containment of the
thermal plume from the appliance and the accurate measurement of the generated loads. The airflow
rate used in the testing was the minimum rate to capture and contain the thermal plume while not
disturbing the natural convection of the plume.
TEST PROCEDURES
The heat gain to space determinations were made in accordance with ASTM F 2474-05 Standard
Test Method for Heat Gain to Space Performance of Commercial Kitchen Exhaust
Ventilation/Appliance Systems (ASTM, 2005). The precision of the reported heat gain was within the
specifications of [+ or -] 15%; values that calculated less than zero were reported as zeroHooded
Equipment
Heat gain from hooded appliances is transferred primarily to the kitchen space by radiation. Heat gain
to space was measured indirectly using an energy balance protocol, where the radiant load was
calculated as the difference between the energy consumed by the appliance and the energy removed
by the exhaust system and food product. The energy balance as defined by ASTM 2474-05 is shown
in Equation (1).
[E.sub.appliance] + [E.sub.mua] = [E.sub.exhaust air] + [E.sub.heat gain] + [E.sub.food] (if applicable)
(1)
In commercial kitchens, appliances are typically turned on at the beginning of each day and are not
turned off until closing time. Although the appliances are "up to temperature" 100% of the time, they
may be used to cook food less than 25% of the time, even in high-volume restaurants. Therefore, idle
heat gain measurement provides a good estimate for the cooling load from the hooded appliances.
More precise analysis can be had and a load profile constructed if cooking heat gain values are
available for hooded equipment, along with an activity log from the kitchen. When the cost, time, and
level of effort was considered, along with the percentage of time appliances typically operate during
the day, cooking heat gain testing for hooded appliances was considered to be well beyond the scope
of this project and beyond typical commercial kitchen load calculations.
The heat gain testing procedure is very time-intensive. Before the first heat gain test of the day was
performed, the hood airflow was set to the required rate. The appliance was turned on and allowed to
stabilize to the specified operating temperature. The appliance/hood system was then operated for an
additional period to ensure stabilization of the laboratory, hood, ductwork, and equipment
temperatures. Following stabilization, each idle heat gain test usually required a minimum of one hour
for a non-thermostatically controlled appliance and two hours for a thermostatically controlled
appliance to generate reliable data. The schematic for hooded appliance heat gain testing and the
energy balance boundary conditions are shown in Figure 4. A photograph of a cook line during heat
gain testing is shown in Figure 5.
[FIGURE 4 OMITTED]
[FIGURE 5 OMITTED]
For some low-input equipment, more than one of the same appliance was needed to improve the heat
gain accuracy. For most other cases, the exhaust airflow was limited to the area over the single
appliance being tested by blocking filters on the inactive section of the hood. This modification
reduced the airflow rate and increased the temperature rise from the room to the exhaust airstream,
thus improving the accuracy of the measured heat gain. To ensure valid results, sensitivity testing
was performed to minimize the airflow and maximize the temperature rise in the exhaust air stream
while maintaining capture and containment of the plume. A photograph showing the hood with a
portion of the filters blocked is shown in Figure 6.
[FIGURE 6 OMITTED]
Un-Hooded Equipment
For hooded appliances, the energy balance protocol assumes that 100% of the convective load was
exhausted with the cooking effluent. For un-hooded appliances, the convective load from the
appliances put a sensible and latent load, in addition to the radiant load, on the kitchen space.
For this project, all appliances were tested under a canopy exhaust hood in order to capture, contain,
and measure the convective load. The exhaust system was instrumented to measure the airflow, dry
bulb temperature, and dew point temperature. With these measurements, the sensible and latent load
was calculated for each appliance. The test setup to measure the radiant and convective split from
un-hooded equipment is shown as a photograph in Figure 7 and a schematic in Figure 8.
[FIGURE 7 OMITTED]
[FIGURE 8 OMITTED]
Calculations
The energy balance on Figure 8 yields:
For the sensible radiant load:
[E.sub.appliance] + [E.sub.mua] - [E.sub.exhaust] - [E.sub.radiation] - [E.sub.food](if applicable) = 0
(2)
Or
[E.sub.radiation] = [E.sub.appliance] + [E.sub.mua] - [E.sub.exhaust] - [E.sub.food] (if applicable) (3)
Where:
[E.sub.mua] is the energy in the makeup air stream
[E.sub.exhaust] is the energy in the exhaust air stream
[E.sub.appliance] is the energy consumption of the appliance
[E.sub.food] is the energy required to cook the food
For the convective load:
In IP
[q.sub.sensible convective load] = 1.08 [Q.sub.exh] ([T.sub.db-exh] - [T.sub.db-mua]) (4a)
[q.sub.latent load] = 4840 [Q.sub.exh] ([W.sub.exh] - [W.sub.mua]) (5a)
for SI
[q.sub.sensible convective load] = 1.23 [Q.sub.exh] ([T.sub.db-exh] - [T.sub.db-mua]) (4b)
[q.sub.latent load] = 3010 [Q.sub.exh] ([W.sub.exh] - [W.sub.mua]) (5b)
Where:
[q.sub.sensible convective load] is the sensible convective heat load generated by the appliance in
Btu/h (W)
[q.sub.latent load] is the latent heat load generated by the appliance in Btu/h (W)
[Q.sub.exh] is the volumetric flow rate of the exhaust air stream in cfm (L/s)
[T.sub.db-mua] the dry bulb temperature of the makeup air stream in [degrees]F ([degrees]C)
[T.sub.db-exh] is the dry bulb temperature of the exhaust air stream in [degrees]F ([degrees]C)
[W.sub.mua] is the humidity ratio of the makeup air stream in pound of water per pound of dry air
(kg/kg)
[W.sub.exh] is the humidity ratio of the exhaust air stream in pound of water per pound of dry air
(kg/kg)
HEAT GAIN TO SPACE RESULTS
Heat gain to space was measured during idle conditions for most hooded appliances. For unhooded
equipment, heat gain to space was usually measured during idle and cooking conditions. In addition,
sensitivity testing was performed on some appliances to investigate different operating conditions.
The project generated a significant amount of heat gain data with the appliances at idle conditions.
The majority of appliances were shown to have heat gain values below 2,000 Btu/h (586 W). Sixteen
appliances were at or below detectable limits, as indicated with a reported heat gain to space value of
zero. The majority of the sixteen appliances used water, such as dishwashers, steam kettles,
steamers, rethermalizers, pasta cookers, and drawer warmers, at various operating modes with
cooking surface or skin temperatures below 212[degrees]F (100[degrees]C). Eight appliances were
measured with heat gain to space values ranging from 8,000 to 14,900 Btu/h (2,345 to 4,367 W),
which were the highest heat gain values measured during the project. These eight appliances
included broilers or ranges, at various operating configurations.
When the sensible heat gain values were sorted by measured appliance energy consumption rate,
the generally accepted trend of higher energy consuming appliances having a higher measured heat
gain was not well supported, since many exceptions to this trend existed. For instance, the gas
overfired broiler was measured as having the fourth-highest energy consumption rate at 87,900 Btu/h
(25,761 W), and was rated at 100,000 Btu/h (29,307 W) (nameplate). However, a heat gain of 2,500
Btu/h (733 W) was measured, which is significantly lower than the heat gain measured for other
appliances with similar energy consumption rates. A graph of the data is shown in Figures 9 and 10.

consumption rate below 6,000 Btu/h energy rate [I-P],

conditions where appliances with high emissivity and high energy rates and low heat gain such as
kettles were outliers and show up as constant low loads (near zero).
The regressed radiation factor for electric appliances of 0.34 compared conservatively to the average
of 0.27 and the median of 0.28 for the data from 38 appliances. Appling the regressed value would
overstate heat gain on average by 36%. Again, the tabulated heat gain data should be applied in the
HVAC design.
TABLE 5 OF THE NONRESIDENTIAL COOLING AND HEATING LOAD CALCULATIONS CHAPTER
OF THE ASHRAE HANDBOOK OF FUNDAMENTALS
Using the measured data for heat gain, appliance usage, and stated nameplate ratings, a table similar
to the current Table 5 Recommended Rates of Heat Gain from Typical Commercial Cooking
Appliances was constructed. The sensible radiant heat gain for hooded appliances and the sensible
radiant, sensible convective and latent heat gain for unhooded appliances were categorized for 83
appliances and 100 test conditions by fuel, usage, and radiation factors and presented in Tables 1
through 4. Table 5 summarizes three types of dishwashers while operating in stand-by and washing
modes. In general, the heat gain was measured during idle (ready-to-cook) conditions. An asterisk in
the tables of this document denotes a new appliance that was added to the original table.

For unhooded electric appliances, the largest loads were from the counter-top conveyor oven and
large conveyor toaster. A kitchen can be loaded up to 10,300 Btu/h (3,019 W) by a large conveyor
toaster, or as much as 12,600 Btu/h (3,693 W) by a small conveyor oven. The highest latent loading
was from the small proofing cabinet at 3,000 Btu/h (879 W). The usage factor
([F.sub.u]=[[q.sub.stand-by (idle) consumption]/[q.sub.rated input (nameplate)]]) and radiation factor
([F.sub.r]=[[q.sub.sensible]/[q.sub.stand-by (idle) consumption]]) were calculated for the appliances
tested.
For hooded electric appliances, ranges and broilers contributed the highest sensible radiant heat gain.
For a range top with six elements turned on, the heat gain was 13,900 Btu/h (4,074 W) and for an
underfired broiler it was 10,800 Btu/h (3,165 W). The lowest sensible radiant loads were from kettles
and braising pans at less than 300 Btu/h (88 W). The usage factor ([F.sub.u]=[[q.sub.stand-by (idle)
consumption]/[q.sub.rated input (nameplate)]]) for hooded electric appliances was highest for hot tops
and salamanders at 0.95 and 0.97 respectively. The radiation factor
([F.sub.r]=[[q.sub.sensible]/[q.sub.stand-by (idle) consumption]]) was the highest for the small griddle
and range top at 0.44 and 0.42 respectively. The lowest radiant (sensible) loading was from the tilting
skillet and pasta cooker at zero Btu/h, and appliances that idle in an unenergized "off" mode, such as
the induction wok and induction cook top.
For hooded gas appliances, the range and chain (conveyor) broiler contributed the highest sensible
radiant heat gain at 13,600 Btu/h (3,986 W) (i.e., with six burners on) and 10,800 Btu/h (3,165 W)
respectively. The lowest sensible radiant loads were from kettles and braising pans, at less than 400
Btu/h (117 W). The usage factor, [F.sub.u], for hooded gas appliances was highest for hot tops and
salamanders at 0.95 and 0.97 respectively. The radiation factor, [F.sub.r], was the highest for the
small griddle and range top at 0.44 and 0.42.
The solid fuel appliances' sensible radiant loads were measured at 6,200 Btu/h (1,817 W) for 40
pounds (18 kg) of charcoal in a 3-foot broiler, and 7,000 Btu/h (2,051 W) for 40 pounds (18 kg) of
mesquite. These sensible loads represent radiation factors of 0.15 and 0.14 respectively.
Ware washing can contribute significant latent loading to the kitchen if the machines are not hooded
(or hooded with poor capture and containment performance). An unhooded conveyor-type hot water
sanitizing machine can contribute 59,100 Btu/h (17,321 W) of heat load, of which 47,000 Btu/h
(13,774 W) was latent loading. When properly ventilated, the sensible radiant load was zero. An
unhooded door-type hot water sanitizing machine can contribute 18,700 Btu/h (5,480 W) of heat load,
of which 13,200 Btu/h (3,869 W) was latent loading. If properly ventilated, the sensible radiant load
was zero. A typically unhooded under counter-type hot water sanitizing machine can contribute
12,200 Btu/h (3,575 W) heat load, of which 9,100 Btu/h (2,667 W) was latent loading. If hooded, the
sensible radiant load was 800 Btu/h (234 W).
CONCLUSION
The results of research project ASHRAE 1362-RP significantly expanded the heat gain information
available in the ASHRAE handbook in addition to verifying and standardizing appliances that were
reported in the handbook. The heat gain results are better classified and can be used more effectively
to calculate the internal heat loads from commercial kitchens on HVAC systems. The reorganized
results will appear in the Non-Residential Cooling Load Chapter of the Fundamentals Handbook.
The design value for heat gain from a hooded appliance at idle (ready-to-cook) conditions based on
its energy consumption rate is, at best, a rough estimate. When appliance heat gain measurements
during idle (ready-to-cook) conditions were regressed against energy consumption rates for gas and
electric appliances, it was found that there was large scatter due to the affect of the appliances'
emissivity, insulation, and surface cooling due to ventilation rates, etc. that led to large deviations from
the average values. Since large errors could occur in the heat load calculation for specific appliance
lines by using a general radiation factor, the revised tabulated heat gain data should be applied in the
HVAC design. For example, the heat gain to space from the gas 60-gallon (227 L) steam kettle while
simmering with the lid up was 0 Btu/h. However, the rated energy input (nameplate) was 145,000
Btu/h (42,495 W), and the measured energy consumption rate was 5,400 Btu/h (1,583 W). If a radiant
factor of 0.11 was applied to this consumption rate, the engineer would calculate a heat gain of 594
Btu/h, significantly larger than the heat gain measured by the study.
Overall, it was shown that more than 50% of the hooded appliances tested had a very low heat gain
and, from a practical perspective, did not contribute to the design cooling load. On the other hand,
only a few high-input appliances demonstrated significant heat gains. For example, the heat load from
the ranges, underfired broilers, and conveyor broilers were the highest of the group, regardless of the
energy type used to operate the appliance. High surface temperatures along with high emisivities
drove the high heat gain to space results. However, many high input appliances had low heat gain to
space, especially when appliance surface temperatures were low due to insulation and low
emissivities. Now that this research project has quantified the heat gain for virtually all equipment
categories specified within a commercial kitchen design, there is no need for the engineer to estimate
heat gain values based on the appliance rated input. The tabluated data that will be included in the
new handbook chapter will provide an accurate estimate of heat gain for each appliance type.
For unhooded cooking appliances, the heat gain measurements from large conveyor toasters, small
countertop conveyor ovens, and vertical toasters were the highest in the group. Consideration should
be given to hooding these appliances. As an alternative, the load to the space needs to be accounted
for in the general HVAC design.
The large latent load reported for all dishwashers tested implies that this equipment should be
ventilated without exception. Latent loading from dishwashers significantly contributed to the total
convective load. An unhooded conveyor-type hot water sanitizing machine can contribute 59,100
Btu/h (17,321 W) of heat load, of which 47,000 Btu/h (13,774 W) was latent loading. When properly
ventilated, the sensible radiant load was reduced to zero. An unhooded door-type hot water sanitizing
machine can contribute 18,700 Btu/h (5,480 W) of heat load, of which 13,200 Btu/h (3,869 W) was
latent loading. If properly ventilated, the sensible radiant load again was reduced to zero. A typically
unhooded under counter-type hot water sanitizing machine can contribute 12,200 Btu/h (3,575 W)
heat load, of which 9,100 Btu/h (2,667 W) was latent loading. If hooded, the sensible radiant load was
only 800 Btu/h (234 W).
The results of the study revealed opportunities to reduce heat gain to the kitchen through the
substitution of equipment or by a change in operating procedure. Simple operational changes such as
closing appliance lids, covers, and doors proved to be a simple and cost-free method for reducing the
heat gain, appliance consumption rate, and generally reduced the capture and containment
requirement of the cooking condition. A few of the appliances tested generated no sensible or
convective load while in standby, such as induction cooking equipment, which is the typical operating
mode of appliances for up to 75% of the day. Relative to either gas-fired or conventional electrical
powered appliances, the reductions in appliance energy and the related ventilation energy using
induction technology may be significant.
This ASHRAE research project successfully provided an expanded and verified database of heat gain
values of 83 appliances in 100 conditions in a format that is familiar to consultants and designers.
This representative data, as typically specified in drawings, will be better suited for design load
calculation tools and revising handbooks, codes and standards.
