Vent-A-Hood manufactures an engineered system that, when correctly specified and installed, will provide 100% containment and removal of cooking by-products.
Ducting that is the proper size and configuration to vent by-products out of the kitchen.
Each ingredient is essential to the process of thorough ventilation. Omitting an element or modifying a specification damages the ability of the system to function properly. Using the complete Vent-A-Hood package guarantees the homeowner the most effective home cooking ventilation equipment available today.
The Cooking Pollutants
Cooking air pollutes the home environment. These pollutants are irritating,harmful and potentially hazardous. The by-products of cooking are: heat, steam, grease and odors.
The centrifuge exhauster makes "MAGIC LUNG" Fire Safe. At right is an unretouched photograph that illustrates the effectiveness of the centrifuge blower used in our "MAGIC LUNG". This grease fire was controlled because no flame could enter the exhaust duct due to the centrifuge pressure. The full covering hood protected walls and ceiling as smoke was exhausted outside. Liquefied grease in the exhauster could not be ignited because of centrifuge pressure. Fire was controlled with minimal damage.
The Unique "Magic Lung"
Vent-A-Hood has built its success and reputation on the unique, patented "Magic Lung" centrifugal blower system. Through the years the system has been improved, but the original concept is central to the design and remains unequaled.
The "Magic Lung" blower system uses centrifugal blowers to maintain the most efficient, powerful, quiet and easy to clean system on the market today.
How it Works
Everyone has heard of a centrifuge from science class in school. The basic science is that a centrifuge separates one thing from another. The "Magic Lung" is a constant speed centrifugal system that separates 100% of the grease from cooking vapors and removes the rest of the contaminants in the vapor: i.e., smoke, odor, heat, and gases from the home.
There are no filters, it is a filtration system itself
The Vent-A-Hood Magic Lung is
- Quiet
Tests show the "Magic Lung" squirrel cage blower system is the quietest ventilation available. You will hear only the whisper sound of air movement. The SensaSource* uses an integrated two-speed blower switch and heat sensor (standard on halogen light models only, not available on fluorescent models). It allows you to turn the blower to half-speed for even quieter operation. The heat sensor automatically increases blower speed for fire safety and grease liquification.
- Efficient
The powerful, constant-speed "Magic Lung" blower maintains suitable air pressure to trap all cooking contaminants. Grease vapor is liquefied and heat-polluted air is removed. Tests show the "Magic Lung" is the most efficient kitchen ventilation available today.
- Powerful
Each "Magic Lung" centrifugal blower supplies 300 CFM of air movement; you can configure multiple blower units for 600, 900 or 1200 CFM or more as the cooking surface requires.
- Fire Safe
Centrifugal pressure created by the constant speed "Magic Lung" squirrel cage blower prevents entry of fire into the ducting. This prevents the fire from spreading. The "Magic Lung" is the only ventilation system with this feature on the market today.
- Cleans Easily
The "Magic Lung" blower housing snaps apart for easy cleaning in the dishwasher or with warm, soapy water. Then just snaps back in. No inefficient mesh filters to deal with.
