Problem Description

As one of Asia’s leading integrated transportation hubs, Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station handles tens of thousands of passengers daily and serves as a key showcase for the city’s service image. The station features comprehensive dining facilities, with numerous well-known restaurant brands operating there. However, dining environments in large transportation hubs like this typically face three major challenges: cramped kitchen spaces, a lack of provisions for exhaust ventilation, and stringent environmental assessment standards. These factors place extremely high demands on grease fume control solutions, and traditional exhaust systems struggle to meet the unique requirements of such settings.

Solution

Facing the challenges of restaurant exhaust ventilation in large transportation hubs, the Lao Shengchang Restaurant at Hongqiao Railway Station found a precise solution by decisively choosing the MORK indoor direct-exhaust hood from Airwalk. Using innovative technology, it efficiently resolved the ventilation challenges of restaurant exhaust in transportation hubs, setting a replicable benchmark for the industry.
