The right ventilation system helps maintain a healthy kitchen environment by removing smoke, airborne grease, and odors. Ventilation hoods are available in many styles and sizes, so it’s important to choose the model that’s best for your restaurant or bar.

A common consideration is CFM (cubic feet per minute), which indicates how fast a hood can exhaust polluted air. However, CFM doesn’t guarantee better capturing or odor removal, and the placement of a hood is more important. Discuss the specifics of your kitchen with your design-build partner when choosing a hood.

Kitchen Ventilation and Hood Basics: Improving Air Quality

Hood Cleaning is powered by fans that push the air taken in through ductwork to the outside. This ductwork is essential for balancing kitchen air pressure and preventing problems like backdrafts in stoves and carbon monoxide accumulation. Fans require regular maintenance to keep them running efficiently.

The hood’s filter is an integral component of the overall ventilation system, and it plays a critical role in catching grease particles while keeping the hood and ductwork clean. Baffle filters and cartridge filters are two popular options, but it’s important to choose one that is effective and easy to clean.

To be effective, a commercial kitchen ventilation system must include an exhaust fan that pulls dirty air out of the building and a makeup air (MUA) fan that brings in fresh air to replace it. The makeup air can be conditioned with heat or humidity, or it can simply be filtered or brought in untreated as 100% outside air.
