  • small sizes that are suitable for ordinary stoves;
  • the fan in these hoods has little power or is not installed at all;
  • paper or fiber filters are used to capture fats.

But these differences are not particularly pronounced. The ventilation kitchen umbrella, which is installed in large cottages, is identical in its characteristics to the industrial one. Exhaust appliances for barbecue and barbecue, endowed with a very simple design. Basically they are made in the form of a hollow dome without additional devices. In such indoor ventilation umbrellas, a spark-extinguishing grill, grease trap, fan and other additional equipment are installed.

Island ventilation umbrella

Mounted to the ceiling. It is intended for equipment on which food is cooked, installed in the central part of the room or at a certain distance from the walls. This type of hood designed for the kitchen is equipped with more than one row of filters. This is because they do not join the wall and have two combined edges.

  • for added comfort, an industrial or household exhaust hood is equipped with a backlight;
  • when working with an open flame, a filter with a sparking grid is installed;
  • a fan is optional, but it is a fairly significant element that helps to capture air and directs it into the filter and duct.

How to install an exhaust hood ?

Another important task is the correct installation of the specified device over the equipment. Here are some installation tips:

  • A kitchen hood is placed exactly above the place where the food is prepared, and the centers of the equipment should match. This is an important condition.
  • A household hood in size should be larger than the equipment by a couple of centimeters, and industrial - by 10 cm. In each case there should be an individual approach.
  • The best mounting height above the stove or equipment in the industry is from 70 to 110 cm.

The cost of this device depends on its design (wall or island, with a spark-proof mesh or labyrinth filter), as well as on the size of the equipment and the configuration of the hood.
