Everyone knows how difficult it can be to clean the walls and ceiling of kitchens from what constantly accumulates after cooking. Oily soot settles daily on surfaces and stays there for a long time. The dust that accumulates everywhere every day adds to the soot even more unpleasant appearance, turning into a coating. Most recently, repairs were completed in the apartment, but because of a similar problem, everything has to be painted, glued and updated again.
Otherwise, every time you look into the kitchen, you will see a not very pleasant view of dirty walls. A similar situation can also occur if the residents of the apartment use traditional ventilation, avoiding new systems of this nature.
Circulation and flow types of hoods
Roughly speaking, the operation of all hoods comes down to one principle - forced ventilation. Fat particles and combustion products become protected from dirty air. This is the meaning of the existence of ventilation - purification and removal of air. The return of air to the kitchen, or its exit from the apartment, depends on the design of the hoods. First of all, in any case, the air is thoroughly cleaned. Thus, two types of kitchen hoods appear.
Features of the circulation type:
- cleansing polluted air and returning it back to the room,
- lack of connection with the external environment,
- no need for ductwork,
- cheap device price,
- low noise
- ease of installation of the hood.
Moreover, if the house belongs to old buildings, such a hood will be indispensable. It often happens that the old ventilation system of this house is no longer able to cope with the incoming air flow, so a new device will help to avoid possible problems. Due to the fact that the hood is quite quiet, it can be installed in a small kitchen.
Advantages of a flow hood
- air intake, cleaning from soot and grease,
- output of a little purified air to the street using an air duct system,
- the presence of deep filters (helps to avoid the accumulation of fats inside the parts of the device),
- the need for frequent flushing of the device.
Service life of hoods
The performance of the hood is the main indicator of the operation of the device. It denotes the throughput of the hood per unit of time. Ways to install and mount the hood:
- often hanging hoods are placed under the wall cabinet, becoming directly above the stove. There they are fixed to the wall.
- models that are built in a special way are demanding on the presence of a special cabinet. Thus, they do not cease to stand out in the interior.
- dome-shaped hoods look like an umbrella, they are equipped with different operating modes. They also have another name - fireplace.
- space in the kitchen can be saved with corner modifications. In addition, the room will acquire a modern look.
The choice of this parameter depends on the size of the kitchen room, as well as other features.
