Abstract
Examples are disclosed that relate to cooking systems with internal ventilation systems. One example provides a cooking system comprising a cooking appliance, a ventilation duct comprising an inlet aperture configured to receive cooking exhaust, a fan disposed within the ventilation duct, the fan being configured to pull the cooking exhaust through the inlet aperture and the ventilation duct, a particulate removal system positioned within the ventilation duct between the inlet aperture and the fan, and a grease containment pan disposed beneath the particulate removal system and comprising a mount for supporting the particulate removal system, the grease containment pan being removable from the ventilation duct by a user for cleaning.
Claims23
A cooking system, comprising:
- a ventilation duct comprising an inlet aperture configured to receive cooking exhaust;
- a fan disposed within the ventilation duct, the fan being configured to pull the cooking exhaust through the inlet aperture and the ventilation duct;
- a particulate removal system positioned within the ventilation duct between the inlet aperture and the fan;
- a grease containment pan disposed within the ventilation duct beneath the particulate removal system and comprising a mount for supporting the particulate removal system, the grease containment pan being removable from the ventilation duct by a user for cleaning;
- a grease filter within the ventilation duct upstream of the particulate removal system, the grease filter being removable;
- and
- a removable grease collection box configured upstream of the particulate removal system to capture at least a portion of grease filtered by the grease filter.
A cooking system, comprising:
- a ventilation duct comprising an inlet aperture configured to receive cooking exhaust;
- a particulate removal system;
- a fan disposed within the ventilation duct, the fan being configured to pull the cooking exhaust through the inlet aperture, the ventilation duct, and the particulate removal system;
- an ultraviolet (UV) treatment system disposed within the ventilation duct upstream of the fan;
- and
- an ozone control system comprising one or more ozone mitigation components positioned downstream of the fan.
A cooking system, comprising:
- a ventilation duct comprising an inlet aperture configured to receive cooking exhaust;
- a fan configured to pull the cooking exhaust through the inlet aperture and the ventilation duct;
- and
- an ozone control system comprising one or more ozone mitigation components positioned downstream of the fan, the ozone control system configured to reduce ozone in the ventilation duct.
