Ventless range hoods or Vented Rangehoods??

A ventless hood is the last resort if you cannot find a way to get the fumes from cooking on the range to the outside. While such a hood will trap grease and will kill odors (while the charcoal in the filter is still active - very important - charcoal filters have a limited lifespan) it will not reduce the condensation and smoke caused by cooking. This is especially a problem if you cook with gas that generates a lot of condensation. Depending on how much you cook you may need to replace the carbon filters every 2 - 6 months to deal with the cooking smells.


While it may cost a little extra, over the years you will benefit enormously from a properly vented range hood - you will also save money by not having replace the carbon filters.

Range hood Noise and how to manage it

The critical factors in noise reduction are:

-          Type of filters

-          Quality of duct work – appropriate size for the airflow, length and number of bends

-          Quality and size of blower used

Filters:

There are in essence two types of filters – mesh and baffle. Baffle filters are quieter, 96% efficient and excellent fire travel blockers. Mesh are only recommended in lower cfm applications around 400cfm to 600cfm and over electric style cook tops.

Quality of ductwork:

The most critical element is the size and quality of duct material relative to the maximum airflow you try to move down that duct – for 400cfm internal blowers we recommend 7”, for 600cfm internal blowers 8” and 1200cfm internal blowers 10”. Inline blowers between 600 and 1000cfm need 8” duct and external blowers of 1000cfm 8” duct. Rigid metal duct is strongly recommended – flexible ribbed ducting will be noisy because the air is “tripping” of the ridges and makes noise.

The average duct length and number of bends found today is not too much of an issue – if bends and length is excessive then external blowers and more powerful blowers should be used – if a blowers is trying to “PUSH” a high volume of air down a long and wavy duct run the motor needs to work harder and of course will be noisier.

Blowers:

These  come in all forms of quality – the quality blowers have less mechanical noise because they are well made and balanced.

Wooden Range Hood Canopy Insert

This wooden range hood canopy - otherwise known as a mantel hood - posed some challenges as it was only 14" deep and 72" wide and was over a 27" deep by 48" wide professional range with a griddle and the client BBQ's extensively indoors during the cold Ontario winters. The challenge comes in that ideally there should be full coverage over the burners otherwise any cooking that took place on the front of the stove would not be captured by the hood.

We therefore needed to maximize the suction over the immediate cooking surface and accomplished this by placing flat panels on either side of the range hood capture area where the baffle filters where placed. Suction was achieved with a variable speed 1000cm external range hood blower. Lighting is dimmable halogen range hood lighting.
