How Restaurant Hood Systems Work
Blog Introduction: If you own a restaurant, then you know how important it is to have a well-functioning ventilation system. Not only does it remove smoke, heat, and grease from the kitchen, but it also protects your cooking area from the accumulation of grease. But how do these systems work? Let’s take a look.
How Exhaust Fans Work
The exhaust fan creates a reverse draw of air through the hood to remove smoke, soot, steam, heat, and grease vapors away from your building. If this is not correctly established and maintained, grease accumulates throughout the kitchen, drastically increasing the risk of kitchen fires. A properly designed and installed commercial kitchen hood system will create an “air curtain” that protects your cooking area from the accumulation of grease.
How Restaurant Hood Systems Work
Restaurant hood systems work by negating the pressure difference between the exhaust side of the system and the make-up airside. This stops outside air from entering the system and taking the place of exhausted air. As a result, grease and other contaminants are removed from the air before they have a chance to accumulate in your kitchen.
A properly designed and installed commercial kitchen hood system is vital to any restaurant’s success. Not only does it remove smoke, heat, and grease from the kitchen, but it also protects your cooking area from the accumulation of grease. By negating the pressure difference between the exhaust side of the system and the make-up airside, restaurant hood systems stop outside air from entering the system and taking the place of exhausted air. In this way, they keep your kitchen clean and safe from fire hazards.
