- 5 Ventilation in the house is the most important thing. It provides comfort and physical condition of the inhabitants. But for the hostess the most important object is the kitchen. In a room where they constantly cook something, soar, heat, boil - without good air exchange can not do. How to make ventilation in the kitchen? To cope with this problem, you need to contact the salon of home appliances, choose and mount a kitchen hood.
The value of the kitchen hood
In the recent past, the exchange of heated, saturated food-saturated airs of kitchen space and fresh street ventilation was carried out in the kitchen by natural ventilation. For this, the kitchen window was equipped with a window. This is the simplest, known since ancient times, effective air exchange in the room.
If ventilation does not work in the kitchen, it is felt immediately at all points of the house, so it is better to exclude smells and evaporation from their source, not allowing them to spread around.
Ventilation system with exhaust
Ventilation in an apartment building is laid in the process of erecting the building. The principle of its operation is based on the pressure drop of the room and the street. Holes for ventilation are located as standard: - kitchen;
- bathroom;
- toilet room.
Cleaning the kitchen with standard ventilation has very little effect. Therefore, the installation of artificial ventilation in modern homes and apartments has become a traditional phenomenon.
The ventilation systems used for cleaning air in the kitchen area can be divided into two types:
- circulating;
- flowing.
Currently, the ventilation of the kitchen with a gas cooker, as well as with an electric cooker is carried out by a flow-through design.
The principle of operation of this type of ventilation devices is based on taking air from the room, directing it to the filtering device and returning it back.
The exhaust flow systems are connected with the available standard ventilation, the air after cleaning is returned to the room, the exhausted part of the air is thrown into the ventilation duct.
All existing air purification systems are divided according to their device:
- built-in, mounted in a hanging cabinet;
- wall mounted, attached to the wall, directly above the plate;
- suspended, built-in cabinet, placed above the plate;
- island, attached to the ceiling;
- corner, located in the corner of the kitchen.
Built-in ventilation systems
Small kitchen dimensions require the compact placement of furniture and devices necessary for its convenient operation. This refers to ventilation, as the most necessary attribute of the kitchen. Built-in kitchen models perfectly harmonize with any kitchen furniture, as the ventilation housing hides the engine, pump and filters that are mounted in the curtain cabinet above the hob.
On the surface there is only a console for controlling the device and an absorbing surface of the hood. This design simplifies the cleaning of the device.
In the models of the built-in models a retractable panel is provided, which allows to increase the volume of air intake, despite the small dimensions of the built-in ventilation.
Sometimes there may be a smell from the ventilation in the kitchen. This phenomenon may have several explanations, but the solution is simple: checking, repairing or cleaning the mine from possible contamination.

Wall, fireplace, dome - these are the names of the exhaust devices for their decorativedesign. These models have a very peculiar design, with the installation of which you need as much as possible to pay attention to their combination with the furniture interiors of the kitchen.
Externally, the wall units resemble an umbrella. Their installation is carried out on the wall, and therefore immediately attract attention.
For the dome system, it is better to use the recirculation mode. When installing the hood of the hood above the hob, the natural ventilation duct will direct the evolved air naturally, keeping circulation in the ventilation system of the house.

During operation, a smell may appear from the ventilation in the kitchen. There may be several reasons for this problem, but the quickest and most reliable solution is a check valve for ventilation of the kitchen in a natural ventilation duct.
Installation of this element will eliminate the leakage of odors from the mine, thanks to the original device of this design. Special partitions of the non-return valve are able to pass air into the shaft, not allowing it to pass in the opposite direction.
In addition, the design of the valve prevents the penetration of harmful insects from the mine into the location of the room. In the closed state, the check valve promotes the preservation of heat inside the kitchen.
Modern apartments with airtight windows and doors lose a significant amount of incoming fresh air. Therefore, forced ventilation is installed in the kitchen in the ventilation duct in the form of a mechanical device - a fan. Its purpose is to provide air exchange in the kitchen, create a favorable microclimate.
Part of forced air exchange is supply ventilation in the kitchen. The fan is the main part for air injection, which can be subjected to additional cleaning, filtration, moistening, heating.
A good addition to these devices is a lighting system with adjustment and variation of light intensity.
To the disadvantage of such an extract can be attributed significant engine noise.
Suspended fume hood
Having stopped selection on the hanging version of ventilation it is necessary to know that this type of technique is based on air purification when passing through the filtering device, with its subsequent return to the kitchen space. Modern models have a filter made of aluminum, which allows you to clean it with a simple flushing.
Suspension device was named because of the fixing method. The installation is to attach to its wall, parallel to the slab. Sometimes used to house the hood hanging cabinet, which allows you to create a harmonious look and save space in the kitchen. Currently, outboard models are produced, equipped with one or two motors.
Island ventilation design
In the island ventilation area there is a plate, a sink and a table top. This type of air-purifying device uses a vertical air duct mounted on the ceiling.
Modern models of island ventilation systems are supplemented with electronic devices:
- control panel;
- filter contamination sensor.
The island-type ceiling ventilation systems are of different design and can operate in a recirculation and air-exhaust mode.
Recirculation air exchange is used if the ventilation system in the kitchen does not have a connection to a standard air vent.
The air purification option in the recirculation mode provides its passage through the carbon filters. These elements require their periodic replacement. Modern filter design has high efficiency and long service life. Their replacement is not provided more than once every six months.
A more efficient mode of operation of ventilation is air extraction. In this case, the ventilation scheme in the kitchen provides for the removal of polluted air into a stationary ventilation shaft. Air purification is almost instantaneous.
Corner vent structures
The ventilation device in the kitchen for odor cleaning is currently available in various configurations. Everything is determined by modern design and design of kitchens in accordance with the desire of the owners.
The hob in the corner of the kitchen is now used by many homeowners. The industry, not lagging behind the desire of consumers, has begun to produce corner ventilation hoods.
Only external device shapes have changed. The principle of their action is standard: the collection of polluted air, cleaning and removal of odors and remaining contaminants in the ventilation ducts.
By its design, angled hoods are classified as hanging devices. They are made in the form of a dome or have the form of a letter T. The devices function in the mode of tapping the polluted air into the ventilation shaft. Angle structures can operate in air recirculation mode.
The devices of the presented type can operate in three modes:
- circulation;
- flow-through;
- combined.
The most extensive use of the hoods with a flow and combined cleaning system. Air purification with the removal of polluted air into the ventilation shaft, has a higher efficiency in comparison with other methods.
