HOW TO CHOOSE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR KITCHEN

The kitchen extension not only saves air indoors from the smells of food, smoke and evaporations arising when cooking but also protects kitchen furniture from fat and soot. The choice of model of a kitchen extension depends on the area of kitchen, and variety of forms, materials and color schemes allows to pick up option for any design of location.

Operation modes

Circuital extensions purify air by means of zhiroulavlivayushchy and carbon filters, and then return back it in location. In them it is necessary to change the carbon filter each 4 – 6 months. Such extensions are compact and don't require connection to cooling. The circuital mode allows to save on heating in the winter as the extension doesn't let out the warm air outside.

Extensions with leadout of air retract the polluted air and remove cleared in system of cooling of the building or on the street. By-pass extensions remove kitchen smells better and make less noise, but installation of such extension requires mounting of an air duct.

There are also universal models combining both operation modes.

Installation

Suspension extensions fasten over a cooking surface under a kitchen locker. Such models have not really high level of cleaning and productivity, but are inexpensive and simple in installation. The casing of an embeddable extension is hidden behind kitchen furniture, such models is harmonic are inscribed in design of any kitchen. But they work in the mode of leadout or leadout and circulation and require mounting of an air duct.

Chimney (dome) extensions received the name because of likeness to chimney system of fireplaces. Such models show high quality of cleaning of air and good productivity. They are issued in hundreds of options of design and finishing, but have bulky construction and require mounting of an air duct.

Wall chimney extracts have one flat party for fastening to a wall. Wall extracts of inclined type can save working space on kitchen. Angular models are intended for installation on a joint of walls. For the wide kitchen with the cooking panel located in the center of the room, good option there can be an island extract.

The built-in extracts can be hidden in a kitchen locker or under a table-top. Extracts in design of "Dominoes" are mounted in a table-top and settle down at the level of the cooking panel. The Dominoes components look as narrow modules which can be combined on one table and to unite them in system.

Productivity

Productivity of an extract shows what maximum quantity of air can pass through itself the device within one hour in the mode of removal of air. On sanitary standards air in kitchen within an hour has to be replaced 10 – 12 times. Respectively, for determination of necessary capacity it is necessary to calculate the volume of kitchen and to increase it on 12, and for by-pass extracts still to increase the received result on 1,3 — amendment coefficient by the air duct length, depth of the air shaft and number of storeys of the house. For example, for standard kitchen of 10 sq.m and with a ceiling 2,7 m high there is enough productivity of 280 - 360 cubic m/h. For spacious kitchen studio productivity has to be higher – from 600 to 800 cubic m/h.

The extract will effectively work only on condition that her airreception umbrella completely closes the plate plane — then leak of air will be minimum.

Management

At extracts with mechanical control switching of operating modes and brightness of the built-in lighting lamps are regulated by buttons or sliders.

Models with electronic control have additional functionality.

The programmable extracts equipped with sensors of steam and ashes automatically join at the increased concentration of these substances in air. Extracts with electronic control are usually equipped with the display and touch management. The remote control allows to set parameters and operating modes of an extract, without rising because of a table.

Expensive models of kitchen extracts can be equipped with functions of "the residual course" and interval inclusion. "The residual course" allows an extract to work at small turns after her switching off for some time. Thus it is possible to purify almost completely air in kitchen. In the mode of interval inclusion the extract joins once an hour and provides continuous inflow of fresh air.

Design and color

The design of an extract is chosen according to the general stylistics. Today designers offer a wide choice of forms and shades of the kitchen extracts executed in classical style or style a high tech.
