Abstract
Examples are disclosed that relate to cooking systems with internal ventilation systems. One example provides 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, and a particulate removal system positioned within the ventilation duct between the inlet aperture and the fan. In an example, the particulate removal system includes a cyclonic filtration system.
Claims20
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 of the ventilation duct;
- a particulate removal system positioned within the ventilation duct between the inlet aperture and the fan, the particulate removal system including a cyclonic filtration system;
- an ozone generation system positioned to introduce ozone within the ventilation duct at a location upstream from the particulate removal system;
- one or more ozone mitigation components positioned within the ventilation duct downstream of the particulate removal system;
- and
- an electrostatic precipitator positioned within the ventilation duct between the particulate removal system and the one or more ozone mitigation components, the electrostatic precipitator being different than the ozone generation system.
A cooking system, comprising:
- a ventilation duct comprising an inlet aperture configured to receive cooking exhaust;
- a particulate removal system disposed within the ventilation duct, wherein the particulate removal system comprises a cyclonic filtration system;
- a fan disposed within the ventilation duct, the fan being configured to pull the cooking exhaust through the inlet aperture, the particulate removal system, and the ventilation duct;
- an ozone generation system positioned to introduce ozone within the ventilation duct at a location upstream from the particulate removal system;
- one or more ozone mitigation components positioned within the ventilation duct and downstream of the particulate removal system;
- and
- an electrostatic precipitator positioned within the ventilation duct between the particulate removal system and the one or more ozone mitigation components, the electrostatic precipitator being different than the ozone generation system.
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, the particulate removal system including a cyclonic filtration system comprising a canister comprising a water bath;
- an ozone generation system positioned to introduce ozone within the ventilation duct at a location upstream from the particulate removal system;
- one or more ozone mitigation components positioned within the ventilation duct and downstream of the particulate removal system;
- and
- an electrostatic precipitator positioned within the ventilation duct between the particulate removal system and the one or more ozone mitigation components, the electrostatic precipitator being different than the ozone generation system.
