Abstract
An under-cabinet fume ventilation system may include a secondary vent hood configured to be coupled to a surface. In various embodiments, the system may have a manifold with a first end and the second end. In some embodiments, the system may include the manifold being fluidly coupled to the secondary vent hood and being configured to be fluidly coupled to a primary vent hood at the second end and coupled to the underside of the surface.
Claims21
A system for ventilating fumes, the system comprising:
- a secondary vent hood, the secondary vent hood configured to be coupled to a surface;
- and
- a manifold, the manifold having a first end and a second end, wherein:
- the manifold is fluidly coupled to the secondary vent hood at the first end and configured to be fluidly coupled to a primary vent hood at the second end, fluidly coupling the second end of the manifold to the primary vent hood establishing a flow path for fumes to travel into the primary vent hood from the secondary vent hood, the manifold configured to be coupled to the surface.

A method for ventilating fumes, the method comprising:
- receiving fumes into a secondary vent hood, the secondary vent hood configured to be coupled to an underside of a surface;
- transporting fumes from the secondary vent hood through a manifold with a blower, the manifold fluidly coupled to the secondary vent hood and the manifold configured to be coupled to the underside of the surface;
- and
- exhausting fumes through a primary vent hood, the primary vent hood fluidly being coupled to the manifold so as to establish a flow path for fumes to travel into the primary vent hood from the secondary vent hood.
