How to eliminate unobstructed things in the kitchen hood

The most headache at home is that the smoke exhaust in the corner of the kitchen is not smooth, and the range hood is really not powerful, but it is reminded; This happens when it was originally installed. In this issue, I will talk about the troubles at home and those things about smoke exhaust.

The auxiliary flue must be retained.

Every kitchen has a flue, but did you know that there are also main and secondary flues? Nian Zhiren, chief engineer of Yuanzhou Decoration Group, introduced that the main flue runs through the entire building. The secondary flue is relatively independent, it is separated from the main flue by a perforated partition, and the upper and lower flues are sealed by the floor slab.

Decoration to make a buffer, and then through the hole in the partition into the main flue, so as to ensure that the smoke of each household is isolated, will not string smoke.

It is advisable not to use this method. Even if the smoke exhaust pipe is turned up, it will still cause smoke and smell in the house. Although the check valve can be used for isolation, if the check valve is not cleaned frequently, it will not be closed tightly, and there will still be smoke and smell.

And if every home uses this method, it will take up a lot of space in the flue, resulting in poor smoke exhaust.

Attention should be paid to the details of the construction.

In addition, in order not to destroy the original main and auxiliary flues, the opening direction can not be changed at will, and must be played in the auxiliary flue. The owners can't change it to their liking. However, the hole of the flue can be enlarged, but be careful not to break the baffle of the auxiliary flue.

The owner can rest assured that the oil smoke will be all discharged upwards in the main flue, so that the so-called "cupping effect" will be more obvious and less likely to produce the phenomenon of cross-smell.

Pay attention to safety when venting smoke from windows.

In order to avoid the problem of smoke stringing, some owners abandon the original flue and directly open a hole in the window to exhaust the smoke. Nian Zhiren said that it is okay to do this, but there are a few points to be aware of. First of all, be sure to get the consent of the property before opening holes in windows or walls.

In addition, there is the issue of security. Generally, the end of the smoke exhaust pipe is made of metal, and if the hole is too small, the metal heat transfer may cause the glass to burst and injure pedestrians. And the smoke pipe leads to the window, and the strong north wind blowing will cause the fume to backfill, which will also increase the load of the range hood and shorten the service life of the range hood.

The best solution is to put the pipe down after it is extended, so that it also prevents rainwater from flowing into the pipe when it rains and keeps the wind out.

The check valve is replaced frequently.

After installing the check valve, it should be cleaned regularly, otherwise the check valve will be open and lose its effect. Moreover, it is best to replace the flue check valve every two years or so.
