Kitchen Pollutants Control and Ventilation

This book has been written by two experts in ventilation and indoor air quality with vast experience in the field of kitchen ventilation in both Asia and Europe. The authors share their extensive knowledge of the subject and present the results of their research programs as well those of other researchers. Discussing advanced theories of and design approaches for kitchen ventilation, it is a useful reference resource for a wide range of readers, including HVAC researchers, designers and architects.

Prof. Angui Li is a professor at Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology. He has been active in the research on novel and high-efficiency ventilation air distribution for large spaces such as industrial ventilation areas, underground hydropower stations, subways and tunnels for more than thirty years. He has led more than 50 research projects, including EU projects, National Natural Science Foundation projects, and National Science and Technology Major projects. Prof. Angui Li has also carried out in-depth research sponsored by NSFC in the field of kitchen pollutant control and ventilation. He has won two national technology invention awards and ten provincial science & technology awards. To date, he has published over 250 papers, including 80 SCI papers. Additionally, he holds more than 50 invention patents. In 2013, he was granted the honorary title of "the national distinguished experts with outstanding contributions in China". Prof. Risto Kosonen is an associate professor (tenured) at Aalto University, Finland. He has been long engaged in HVAC technology research with a focus on indoor climate, building systems as well as energy efficiency in buildings.
