  2. Kitchen ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_ventilation

    It addresses the problems of grease, smoke and odours not found in most other ventilation systems. Restaurant kitchens often use large extractor hoods. Kitchen ventilation equipment includes an extractor hood or canopy, and a filtering system. The system's fan may be located in the kitchen or in its ducts.

  3. Kitchen hood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_hood

    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 ]

  4. Dehumidifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehumidifier

    Therefore, an in-room dehumidifier will always warm the room and reduce the relative humidity indirectly, as well as reducing the humidity more directly, by condensing and removing water. Diagram showing airflow through a heat-recovering dehumidifier. Warm, moist air is drawn into the unit at A in the diagram above.

  5. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)

    Fans inside audio power amplifiers help to draw heat away from the electrical components. Variable pitch fan: A variable-pitch fan is used to precisely control static pressure within supply ducts. The blades are arranged to rotate upon a control-pitch hub. The fan wheel will spin at a constant speed. The blades follow the control pitch hub.

  6. Humidistat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidistat

    A humidistat or hygrostat is an electronic device analogous to a thermostat but which responds to relative humidity, not temperature. A typical humidistat is usually included with portable humidifiers or dehumidifiers. It can also be included with combined air cleaner or humidifier units to control a home's humidity level or any other indoor ...

  7. Heat recovery ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_recovery_ventilation

    Diagramatic operation of a thermal wheel Ljungström Air Preheater by Swedish engineer Fredrik Ljungström (1875–1964). A thermal wheel, also known as a rotary heat exchanger, or rotary air-to-air enthalpy wheel, energy recovery wheel, or heat recovery wheel, is a type of energy recovery heat exchanger positioned within the supply and exhaust air streams of air-handling units or rooftop ...

  8. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

    A thermostat exerts control by switching heating or cooling devices on or off, or by regulating the flow of a heat transfer fluid as needed, to maintain the correct temperature. A thermostat can often be the main control unit for a heating or cooling system, in applications ranging from ambient air control to automotive coolant control.

  9. Passive ventilation - Wikipedia
