Data Centre Kitchen Ventilation & TR19 Compliance

Data centres operate around the clock, and the facilities that support them must do the same. Across large data centre campuses, staff restaurants, kitchens and catering facilities play a vital role in supporting operational teams working 24/7.

These environments generate grease, smoke and cooking odours that must be effectively controlled to maintain a safe, compliant and comfortable working environment. At Plasma Clean Air, we specialise in kitchen ventilation, odour control and ventilation maintenance services for commercial catering facilities within data centre campuses.

Kitchen Ventilation for Data Centre Catering Facilities

Commercial kitchens within data centre campuses face the same ventilation challenges as any high-volume catering operation, but with the added expectation of uninterrupted operation and rigorous facilities management standards.

Without effective extraction, airborne grease can accumulate within ductwork, increasing fire risk and creating maintenance issues. Cooking odours can also impact surrounding welfare areas, offices and operational spaces if not properly managed.

Our kitchen ventilation solutions include:

Ecofleece Grease Filters which stop 98% of grease entering into the kitchen extraction system.
Electro-clean Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) systems for high-efficiency grease and smoke removal
Techni-clean UV filtration for grease and odour control.
Carb-clean activated carbon filtration for odour abatement.
Techni-clean canopy-mounted UV filtration systems for space-constrained kitchens
Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) systems to improve energy efficiency

All systems are designed in accordance with DW172 guidance and support compliance with EMAQ+ recommendations for commercial kitchen extract odour control.

Odour Control and Energy-Efficient Ventilation

Effective odour control is an important consideration for data centre campuses, particularly where kitchens operate for extended hours or are located close to occupied spaces.

Our odour control technologies help reduce the impact of cooking emissions while supporting a more comfortable environment for staff. We combine proven commercial kitchen filtration technologies with energy-efficient ventilation strategies to help facilities teams balance operational performance with energy consumption.

Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) systems automatically adjust extraction rates in response to cooking activity, helping to reduce fan energy usage without compromising ventilation effectiveness.

TR19 Grease-Compliant Ventilation Maintenance

Reliable ventilation performance depends on ongoing maintenance. In busy catering environments, grease accumulation within extract systems can increase fire risk, reduce system efficiency and create compliance concerns.

Our TR19 Grease-compliant ventilation hygiene services cover the entire extract system, including:

Following each visit, we provide comprehensive certification and reporting to support insurance requirements, compliance obligations and facilities management records.

For facilities teams managing existing systems, we can also undertake condition surveys and develop planned maintenance programmes tailored to your site.

One Point of Contact for Ongoing Maintenance

Managing multiple contractors for ventilation installation, servicing and compliance can create unnecessary complexity.

Plasma Clean Air provides a complete service from initial system design through to ongoing maintenance and compliance support. By working with a single specialist contractor, facilities teams benefit from consistent documentation, clear accountability and a complete understanding of system performance throughout its lifecycle.

Our planned maintenance programmes are aligned with the equipment we supply, ensuring service intervals, compliance.
