Problem Description

As a high-traffic, high-standard enclosed public space, the international departure level at Shanghai Pudong International Airport imposes extremely stringent requirements on tenant businesses regarding environmental protection, safety, and space utilization: the discharge of cooking fumes is strictly prohibited, alterations to the building structure are forbidden, and restrictions are placed on equipment size and noise levels. Against this backdrop, the Western-style restaurant chain Blue Frog sought to open a location in this area. The key challenge to its successful entry was how to achieve efficient, quiet, and zero-emission fume extraction without compromising culinary quality.

Solution

Blue Frog Restaurant opted to install MORK ductless indoor exhaust hoods, leveraging innovative technology to solve the ventilation challenges posed by special environments such as airports. This equipment completely revolutionizes traditional ventilation methods; requiring no connection to external ducts, the entire unit is suspended above the kitchen and performs a full-cycle purification of cooking fumes, odors, and hot air directly within the room, achieving “zero emissions outdoors and zero pollution indoors.”

The key advantages of the MORK ductless indoor exhaust hood include:

1. Maximized space: Flexible kitchen layouts, unrestricted by ventilation hoods.
2. Simplified installation: Reduced upfront costs and installation space compared to traditional ventilation systems.
3. Expanded menu options: Offers a wider variety of menu choices without concerns about ventilation capacity.
4. Sustainable choice: Minimizes energy consumption and lowers operating costs.

With this solution, Blue Frog not only successfully passed the airport’s stringent environmental and fire safety approvals but also created a high-quality kitchen that meets international standards within a limited space, ensuring the on-site preparation experience for signature dishes such as flame-grilled steak.
