Ventilated Vs Non-ventilated Hoods:
Ventilated Hoods
Ventilated hoods remove the irritants entirely from your kitchen and from your home. Duct the hood outside the building, if you can. Ducted hoods, typically used in commercial kitchens, with broader ranges, tend to produce more smoke, fumes or dirty air. In restaurants and commercial kitchen ventilation systems, upblast exhaust fans are particularly helpful in getting rid of everything from stale air, foul cooking odors, and excessive moisture or heat to harmful smoke particulates and grease laden vapors.
Non- Ventilated Hoods
The use of non-ventilated hoods is a viable option when the outside ventilation is not an option. This is obviously not the best way to clear the air, but it works well if the air cannot be fully extracted and the makeup air takes the place of the air inside.. In order to ensure the hood works well, it is important to substitute recirculating filters every few months.
Size:
The standard width of a kitchen hood is 30 inches (matching the width of a standard hood range), though wall-mounted and the suspended models are available for your respective customized designs.
Maintenance:
Restaurant owners tend to miss out on maintenance of Kitchen hoods. They install the best hood in our commercial kitchen but forget the regular maintenance . Hence, the oil and grate starts piling up. This could lead to major problems and even cause a fire.
Troubleshooting:
- Wash the hood surface with soapy water.
- Clean the buildup of dirt and grease on Kitchen hood fans.
Old grease in the hood system may negatively impact the reverse draw of the exhaust fan. As a result smoke, soot, steam gathers in the building, increasing the risk of a fire hazard.
