Range Hood

Range hoods (Kitchen hoods) are essential equipment for kitchens, laboratories, covered parking lots, etc. The following provides information, specifications, models, brands, important factors, and the best purchase price for all range hoods.

A guide to selecting range hoods

The range hood, which is usually installed above the gas stove, is considered a key accessory in domestic and industrial kitchens today because, in addition to being a type of ventilation and deodorization device in these places, it will have a significant effect on the beauty of your kitchen and home decoration.

In general, the kitchen hood (range/vent hood) is in charge of removing the smell, smoke, and steam that is created during cooking. In other words, the hood drives out the smell of food, smoke, moisture, and fat suspended in the air outside the house improving the air quality and keeping the humidity level of the house constant. Also, the proper functioning of the range hood will prevent cooking grease and moisture accumulation on the ceiling and walls of the kitchen, and the kitchen will remain clean for a longer period. If the range hood is not installed in the kitchen, the rise of humidity and fat in the air provides the conditions for the growth of fungi and molds and endangers the health of family members.

How to calculate the filtering power of the kitchen hood

• If you want to choose an efficient range hood for your home kitchen, after calculating the dimensions and volume of your kitchen space (length*width*height), choose a hood that, according to engineering standards, has the ability to exhaust kitchen air 15 times per hour. For example, if the dimensions of your kitchen are 2.8 x 4 x 3 meters, its volume is equivalent to 34 cubic meters, and therefore the power of the vent hood to exhaust the air in the desired kitchen will be equal to 510 = 15 x 34 cubic meters per hour.

• If, for any reason, it is not possible to vent the required amount of air out of the kitchen, the smell of food and smoke will remain in the kitchen or apartment.

• Also, the hood fan's ability to vent this volume of air out of the kitchen, in addition to the correct selection of the hood ventilation capacity, also depends on the static pressure power of the hood fan and the diameter of the air vent that has the ability to move the air through itself to the outside.

In the rest of this article, all the points that should be taken into account when buying a hood are fully explained, you can also find enough information about the types of hoods and their different designs to fit your kitchen hood according to your home style and buy them in the cost that you have considered on the website of Damatajhiz HVAC Group.

Important points when choosing a kitchen hood

• Considering the weak suction capacity as well as the static air pressure power of many hoods in the market, before buying your kitchen hood, you must check on the necessary information such as the air suction capacity, static pressure (the ability of range hood to pass air through the kitchen chimney), engine power, diameter and the height of the air suction fan of the mentioned hood, otherwise your hood will only be an inefficient device that is not able to expel smoke, odor, and cooking steam, and will only disturb you and your family members by making noise.

• To increase the efficiency of the kitchen hood, try to choose the length and width of the hood and the gas stove close to each other.

• The sound level of the hood is usually the sound produced at the average speed of the hood motor, and it may be louder at higher speeds, if the declared number is in the range of 53 to 63 decibels, it is considered a normal sound for the kitchen hood.

• Some kitchen hood models have sensors sensitive to odors and smoke so that the kitchen hood automatically turns on and ventilates in the presence of odors and smoke. Of course, sometimes these sensors may become too sensitive and turn on unnecessarily, which is nothing to worry about.

• Another important point is matching the outlet of the hood with the outlet of the air vent. If the outlet of the air vent does not match the outlet of the range hood, the empty space created will cause additional noise in the hood, and the exhaust of polluted air may not be done completely.

• The motor of the new hoods is of the turbine or spiral type, these motors, in addition to being stronger than normal motors, also produce less noise.

• The filter of the new range hoods (flat hood, diagonal hood, built-in hood, island hood) is made of aluminum and can be washed by hand and dishwasher (2-hour program), but the filter of the old hoods (under the cabinet) is made of glass wool, which cannot be washed and must be replaced.

Types of kitchen hoods

In household range hoods, all the equipment, including the air suction fan, motor, etc., are placed in the corresponding box, and only the polluted air is pushed out of the house through the air vent.

In industrial hoods, generally, a powerful centrifugal suction fan is placed outside the exhaust hood and on the roof of the building, and it transports the polluted air through the opening of the hood and then the duct.

Household kitchen hoods have different types and designs, which are fully described below:

Kitchen hood under the cabinet:

The under-the-cabinet kitchen hood, which has a very simple design, is considered one of the old models of the kitchen hood, its motor has an air suction fan and its filter is made of glass wool fibers, these types of hoods often produce a lot of noise and compared to kitchen hoods Nowadays, it has fewer features and beauty and its filter cannot be washed. Reasonable prices and low maintenance costs are the advantages of under-cabinet hoods.

Flat kitchen hood:

Flat kitchen hoods are installed on the wall and are usually equipped with a washable aluminum filter and a system for detecting the time of washing and changing the filter. The suction plate of the flat kitchen hood is completely placed above the gas stove face, therefore it has the best suction among all types of household range hoods. The lighting of the hood is provided by halogen or LED lamps. Some models of flat kitchen hoods have an automatic shut-off timer and a sensor sensitive to smell and smoke. In some flat range hood models, glass is used as a body part.

Wall decorative kitchen hood (diagonal):

Diagonal kitchen hoods that are installed on the wall are placed at an angle of 45 degrees to the gas plate. Diagonal hoods, if they don't have a powerful motor, may perform poorly in sucking polluted air compared to other hoods, but still, many people choose diagonal hoods among all types of hoods because of their beautiful and different design. However, in diagonal hoods, a powerful motor and suction fan turn the page so that there is no difference between a diagonal and flat kitchen hood in terms of air suction. And the sound level, like other kitchen hoods, varies depending on the motor. Diagonal kitchen hoods are produced in glass, steel, glass, and steel designs, these hoods are equipped with a washable aluminum filter and a system for detecting the time of washing and changing the filter. Depending on the model, it is possible to control the parts of the hood through a remote control, touch screen, or mechanical button. The lighting of the hood is through a halogen or LED lamp. Some models have an automatic shutdown timer and a sensor sensitive to smell and smoke.

Built-in kitchen hood:

The hidden or built-in range hood is placed completely under the cabinet and in fact, there is no view of the hood in the kitchen. The advantage of this hood is that it does not take up space for the hood in the kitchen. In terms of suction sound and other features, the built-in hood is no different from the flat hood and diagonal vent hood.

Fancy kitchen island hood:

The range hoods of the island design are very beautiful and fancy in terms of appearance and are designed in cube, cylindrical, and sometimes spherical shapes and have the characteristics of a flat hood, but due to the small suction plate they have, they are more suitable for kitchens in terms of efficiency if first of all, the size of the gas stove is small, and secondly, less cooking is done in them. They are mostly considered decorative and luxurious. The new and beautiful model of the island range hood is the elevator hood model, which can be raised and lowered and can be folded and opened by touching its button.

Tips after buying a kitchen hood

·         A very important and practical point in choosing a kitchen hood is that if you want to choose an efficient range hood for your home kitchen, after calculating the size of your kitchen (length*width*height), you should choose a hood that according to engineering standards has a capacity of 15 times of exhausting the kitchen air per hour, in other words, if for example the dimensions of your kitchen are 2.8 x 4 x 3 meters, its volume is equivalent to 34 cubic meters, and therefore the power of the hood or fan to exhaust the air in the desired kitchen is equal to 510=15 * 34 cubic meters per hour.

·         To install the kitchen hood, be sure to contact the representative of the purchased brand and try not to exceed the distance between the gas stove and the hood more than 60 and 80 cm (standard mode).

·         When you turn on your gas stove, be sure to turn on the hood as well otherwise the heat produced from the gas stove will damage the range hood filters and you may have to replace the filters.

·         The hood pulls the pollution in the air towards itself, that's why inside the hood is a suitable space for the growth of molds and bacteria. Try to clean all filters at least once a month, especially if you use a grill. You can easily wash the metallic filters in the dishwasher (of course, on the suitable washing program). You can also use special detergents to clean hoods made of non-oxidizing metals.

·         To clean glass hoods, do this at least 1 hour after turning off the hood.

·         To clean steel hoods, use a special cleaner called steel protector.
