Intelli-Hood DCKV System in GCC

In the fast-evolving hospitality and food service sectors across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), energy efficiency and compliance with green building mandates are no longer optional—they are essential. As commercial kitchens become more advanced and high-volume, the demand for intelligent, responsive ventilation solutions continues to rise. This is where the DCKV system in GCC plays a vital role.

Klima Global, a regional leader in HVAC innovation, brings the internationally trusted Intelli-Hood® Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation (DCKV) system to the GCC. Designed to optimize kitchen exhaust systems by responding to real-time cooking conditions, the Intelli-Hood solution is already transforming operations in restaurants, hotels, malls, and institutional kitchens across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and Qatar.

What is a DCKV System in GCC and How Does It Work?

A DCKV system in GCC (Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation) is an intelligent exhaust management solution that automatically adjusts ventilation fan speeds based on the actual cooking load in a kitchen.

The Intelli-Hood system achieves this by utilizing temperature and optic sensors mounted in the kitchen hood canopy. These sensors detect heat, smoke, and cooking activity, allowing the system’s controller to vary the speed of the exhaust and supply fans dynamically.

This smart modulation leads to:

• 40–90% energy savings on ventilation

• Lower HVAC load

• Reduced wear and tear on mechanical systems

• Enhanced staff comfort
