2. Kitchen hood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_hood

   A kitchen hood in a small apartment. A kitchen hood, exhaust hood, hood fan, extractor hood, or range hood is a device containing a mechanical fan that hangs above the stove or cooktop in the kitchen. It removes airborne grease, combustion products, fumes, smoke, heat, and steam from the air by evacuation of the air and filtration. [1]

3. Damper (flow) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(flow)

   This damper can switch the electrical power to control additional "slave" dampers, minimizing the electrical load on the damper's control circuitry and power transformer. A zone damper (also known as a Volume Control Damper or VCD) is a specific type of damper used to control the flow of air in an HVAC heating or cooling system. In order to ...

7. Backdraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdraft

   A backdraft (North American English), backdraught (British English) [1] or smoke explosion is the abrupt burning of superheated gases in a fire caused when oxygen rapidly enters a hot, oxygen-depleted environment; for example, when a window or door to an enclosed space is opened or broken. Backdrafts are typically seen as a blast of smoke and ...

8. Ventilation (architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation_(architecture)

   In kitchen ventilation systems, or for laboratory fume hoods, the design of effective effluent capture can be more important than the bulk amount of ventilation in a space. More generally, the way that an air distribution system causes ventilation to flow into and out of a space impacts the ability of a particular ventilation rate to remove ...

9. Wood-burning stove - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood-burning_stove

   The dampers can usually be accessed by turning knobs or handles attached to the damper. Some stoves adjust their own airflow using mechanical or electronic thermostatic devices. The highest heating efficiencies on closed appliances can be attained by controlling the various supplies of air to the stove (operating the air controls correctly).
