A typical kitchen is always associated with being clean, neat, and organized but rarely do we hear from someone that a kitchen should have a proper ventilation system. As much as we love to see the area neat and hygienic, we should also be aware of the importance of maintaining a good air circulation not only as a cooling comfort but also to keep us from the risks such as fire hazards. From the looks of it, the need of having a well-ventilated kitchen seems to be predominantly overlooked.

Most of the time, ventilation is equated with exhaust fan. But the ventilation system isn’t made out of a lone exhaust fan. It is called a system as it follows a definite method that provides an intended result. Kitchen ventilation systems have essential parts that will simultaneously perform vital tasks. These are the fundamentals that you have to look for in having a kitchen ventilation system at home or in your commercial establishments. It is, in its broadest sense, an integration of connected hoods, ducts, and exhaust fans carefully engineered to achieve the maximum efficiency in air circulation.

Taking a closer look, you can split the system into its most basic essentials which are:

Kitchen Exhaust Hood system

This part principally removes all the grease laden vapours, smokes, heat and fumes that are the by-products of cooking. There are exhaust hood, extractor hood, or range hood. These devices have a mechanical fan that you can see hanging above the stove in the kitchen. Its task is done through filtration and release of the contaminated air.

Kitchen Exhaust Air Duct

Ducts are the body of the system. It is where the vapours carrying grease goes towards the open-air. It serves as the vent of unwanted gases from the kitchen.

Exhaust Fan

This is the part which most of us are familiar with. Primarily, it is for extraction of air, smoke, steam and the smells in that air. Just remember to pick fans that aren’t too noisy as it may cause discomfort and disturb the operation in the work force.

There other systems that have more intricate design and structure. Out in this industry, there’s so many options to choose from. Just don’t overlook the above mentioned parts.
