Hoods |
 |
Hoods look high-tech and have effectively replaced traditional chimneys to throw out smoke, steam and odors of the kitchen and let in the fresh air. You may also use an exhaust fan instead that are cheaper and can be hidden easily. Size and power of hoods or fans for the kitchens should be chosen according to the size of the kitchen, energy efficiency and less noise.
In the apartments where free flow of air is not so easily possible, you may want to choose units with charcoal filters to purify air. Ones with removable metal grease filter are easier to clean.
A kitchen range hood must move more air than a bathroom fan {About 50 to 140 L/s (100 to 300 cfm)}. As a result, they are noisier, with the lowest rating about 4.5 zones, although they can be relatively quiet on low speed.
The most useful units have a low noise rating, an energy-efficient fan, fluorescent lights, sound insulation, anti-vibration mounts and duct connections.
For heavy duty use, select non-corrosive materials such as aluminum or stainless steel. High quality hoods may have heat sensors and a safety shut-off.
Kitchen
exhaust systems should discharge outdoors.
Recirculation range hoods rely on filters to capture some odours and grease. The filters are generally made of carbon which must be replaced frequently to be effective. Grease will coat carbon, making it ineffective. With recirculation of fans, cooking moisture and odours will usually remain in the house.
