The Importance of Cooking Ventilation

The  main  purpose  of  cooking  ventilation  is  to  capture  the 
by-products of cooking. These by-products are heat, steam, 
smoke,  odor,  hazardous  gases,  and  grease.  Without  proper 
cooking ventilation, these by-products can cause a great deal 
of  harm  to  the  home.  Vent-A-Hood

®

  range  hoods  exhaust 

all  cooking  by-products  to  the  outside  with  the  exception  of 
GREASE,  which  is  collected  by  the  patented  Magic  Lung

®

 

blower system.

The Magic Lung Blower

®

 - How It Works

The Magic Lung

® 

internal blower system was originally patented 

in 1937. The Magic Lung

®

 pressurizes grease-laden air as it 

passes through the blower wheel and cools the grease from a 
vapor into a liquid. The centrifugal action of the Magic Lung

®

 

traps  99%  of  cooking  grease  without  the  use  of  messy  and 

inefficient  wire  mesh  or  baffle  filters.  The  constant  speed 

centrifugal blower is also designed to create a pressure barrier, 

lowering the risk of an attic or wall fire.
