Range hood cleaning fluid heating chamber

Abstract

A range hood cleaning fluid heating chamber that may be connected to a motor housing in a range hood. The cleaning fluid heating chamber comprises an outer shell, which defines an enclosure that is shaped and sized to fit along a portion of the periphery of the motor housing, preferably in abutment. The heating chamber has an inlet and an outlet and cleaning fluid within the heating chamber draws heat from the motor housing when the range hood is in operation. Alternatively, the cleaning fluid heating chamber may comprise an outer shell and a length of piping sandwiched between the periphery of the motor housing and the outer shell. As a further alternative, the heating chamber may simply take the form of a conduit adjacent the motor housing. The heated cleaning fluid may be used for cleaning surfaces within the range hood.
