Tips for kitchen ventilation

Kitchen - this is the place where we cook (roast, boil, bake, etc.), and where going to many different odors.Almost every kitchen is ventilation equipment that helps to eliminate them. And not do without it.

Kitchen window should have the window or transom, is desirable and ventilation with tailrace channel and installation of ventilation grilles or ventilating devices (in the form of a disk or window fans).

Modern kitchen furniture sets necessarily equipped hood. Extractor hood does hot air to disperse the kitchen, catching and leading him into the ventilation shaft, also eliminating the kitchen from the smell of food. In the case of the device built-in quiet fan, grease filters and smells, the lamp lights and control devices.

Fully able to make extract yourself. The simplest option is a tin box mounted over the stove and excretory heated air through the pipes in a hole in the wall (if installed on an individual house) or ventilation (if installed in an apartment).

Above extract gas stove should be installed at a height of about 70 cm, and over the electric stove - about 60 cm

There are two systems of such devices: a cross-cutting and circular. More convenient is a cross-cutting system, when the hood is connected with ventilation ducts or installed on the wall, which provided an opening for release of air. In the round robin fume hood fan sucks air rising from the working plate, and drives it through the filter for fats, which delayed their particles, then through a filter that absorbs odors and smoke, and thus purified air is returned to the kitchen. Lack of a circular system in that it clears the air, but does not eliminate the increase in temperature.

To capture the fat used filter cartridges from synthetic sponge thickness 0,5-1 cm or disposable paper. Filter to absorb odors is activated charcoal, which must be periodically changed.
