WHY KITCHEN EXHAUST MATTERS
- Kitchen extraction helps stop grease from settling on kitchen surfaces, protecting the space from built-up grime.
- It reduces unpleasant odours during and after cooking, for example when cooking fish or frying.
- An extractor fan system helps control temperature and ventilate the kitchen, keeping air quality high by removing excess heat.
- It removes airborne bacteria, mould and allergens, leaving the kitchen with fresh, clean air.
In this article, TechConnect Vietnam focuses on residential kitchen exhaust; commercial kitchen exhaust is a broader topic that we will cover separately. Residential kitchen extraction has long been a concern for many homeowners, yet not everyone knows how to choose and lay out the right system. As one of Vietnam’s leading air conditioning specialists, we are keen to share our expertise so you can choose the best solution for both your home’s needs and your family’s budget. Let’s look at the design options for a residential kitchen exhaust system.
TRADITIONAL KITCHEN EXHAUST SYSTEMS
The most common kitchen ventilation solution is a range hood connected to exhaust ductwork that discharges odours outside, either horizontally or vertically. The hood is surface-mounted and captures all cooking odours and fumes and carries them outside. Make-up fresh air enters the kitchen through doors and windows and as people move in and out of the space.
MODERN KITCHEN EXHAUST SYSTEMS
The aim of kitchen extraction is to remove odours from the kitchen. For aesthetic reasons, however, many homes now use downdraft extraction built into the worktop, combining the extractor with an induction hob. Exhaust air is drawn in by a fan recessed into the worktop and discharged outside through ductwork. The main benefits of this system are:
- Better aesthetics
- Suitable for kitchen island designs (where a hood cannot be fitted)
Finally, to create a truly comfortable kitchen, you can also install air conditioning to keep the kitchen at 24-26 degrees, so that whoever is cooking, whether your partner, your mother or you yourself, stays comfortable while preparing a wonderful meal for the family
