  • a range hood refers to a device for inhaling heat and odor generated when using a range that is a heating device using gas or electricity to discharge outside.
  • the range hood may be provided on a top of a sink to ventilate a kitchen, and may have a light mounted thereon useful when cooking.
  • a range hood with a fan inside is installed to an exhaust duct to discharge odors and moisture to the outside, including harmful gases such as steam and polluted air.
  • the range hood is configured to discharge waste gas, hot air and harmful gases and odors including polluted air to the outside through the exhaust duct by suction power of the range hood.

  • the conventional range hood has a simple structure to suck and discharge air around a cooking space by using a suction force of the exhaust fan installed therein.
  • the suction power, or suction flow rate, of a typical exhaust fan has a physical limit that falls below one tenth of a fan inlet flow rate as far as a diameter of the fan.
  • Range hood is legally to be installed at least 600mm away from the fire.
  • the suction flow rate of the conventional range hood is almost 0 m/s when only 100 mm away from a hood inlet, so that it does not absorb contaminants generated during cooking.
  • steam generated when heated to a high temperature is discharged when raised to the hood inlet due to the high temperature.
  • heavy contaminants with mass such as fine dust or odor particles are not sucked up and spread to the room.
  • the conventional method is to increase a rotational speed of the exhaust fan installed inside the range hood to increase the air flow rate, that is, increase the suction flow rate.
  • air volume must be increased by 8 times.
  • Increasing the air volume by two times inevitably increases noise, housewives are reluctant to use the range hood.
