Texas ACR A exam practice question · Venting

Three separate commercial-kitchen exhaust systems have specified simultaneous flows of 1,600, 2,100 and 2,300 cfm. What is their combined exhaust flow?

A4,400 cfm
B8,000 cfm
6,000 cfm
D2,300 cfm

Where to look it up

Explicit exercise assumptions; not a universal code requirement.

Why C is correct

1,600 + 2,100 + 2,300 = 6,000 cfm. The flows are supplied for separate systems; this does not derive hood flow from an invented appliance-count formula.

A gym ventilation exercise specifies 50,000 ft³ of volume and a design target of 6 air changes per hour. What airflow corresponds to that target?
For an arithmetic exercise, an office project specifies an airflow allowance of 100 cfm for each of 500 occupants. What total airflow does that stated allowance produce?
A kitchen project specifies 10,000 cfm of exhaust. An approved design revision adds a separate 5,000 cfm exhaust load to that total. What is the revised total specified exhaust airflow?
