Kitchen exhaust fans are one of my pet angry because they are notoriously inefficient - if they work at all. Previously, fans sometimes do not have kitchens, and the cook was expected only to suffer with the heat and humidity in the kitchen (perhaps the reason why some men to cook at home then).
Fortunately, kitchen fans, little by little until now the kitchen is not complete until you have installed a popular fan. Here are the main types of vacuum cleaners that are popularToday:
Exhaust System
Recirculation Fan
In my opinion this is a good excuse for a hood, because I do not download anything. This system only fan draws air from above or around the stove, it takes a while ', of course, filter, and breathe the same air humidity in the room. None of the cooking smell or moisture is trapped by the filter, and although the filter, a coating of grease residue build, I doubt that there is virtually nothing to filter.
Sothere are situations in which reconstruction is almost mandatory to use a recirculation fan, but too often a company will only do so to save costs. So when he converted to your kitchen - do not let them get your contractors say they can only be a fan of return, this is rarely the case.
Downdraft Hood
Once I built and installed kitchen with flat top plate side by side on an island in the middle of the kitchen. The kitchen had abeautiful natural finish, exposed beams, so I wanted to install an overhead exhaust system as the core of cuisine.
Big mistake! I had two commercial downdraft exhaust systems designed and installed - one for the hob and the pan. They moved a lot of air, but never completely pulled out all the cooking vapors and humidity - though often sucked the flames from the burners cooking gas. Furthermore, since the internal fans were commercialClass, they did a terrible roar, when turned on high. Of course I do not want to mention the cost.
I know that many cooks in their systems are equipped with downdraft cooktops many of you, but I'm not one of them.
Overhead Hood Hood
Because it increases the warm hood of light, the best choice of kitchen exhaust fans. Of course, this is the exhaust fan is vented to the environment. external ventilation is essential because it is necessary to draw all the cooking vapors andThe humidity of the kitchen - just like most of the ambient heat.
These vacuums are more expensive closed-circuit installations, but if you cook a lot, are well worth the extra cost. And if the builder or remodeling contractor tells you that you can not install an external overhead extractor hood exhaust system - find another contractor.
Too often, the kitchen fans are only a "final thought" in the design of a kitchen. In fact they are one of the most importanta kitchen and must be carefully planned as everything else in the kitchen.
