US 2024/0255154 A1 · AIR FLOW MANAGEMENT FOR COOKING SYSTEM

Abstract

Examples are disclosed that relate to cooking systems with internal ventilation systems. One example provides a cooking system comprising a ventilation duct. The ventilation duct comprises an inlet aperture configured to receive cooking exhaust. An ozone generator is configured to dispense ozone gas into the ventilation duct. The cooking system further comprises a fan disposed within the ventilation duct, the fan being configured to pull the cooking exhaust and the ozone through the inlet aperture and the ventilation duct. The cooking system further comprises a particulate removal system positioned within the ventilation duct between the inlet aperture and the fan. One or more cold catalysts are positioned downstream of the particulate removal system. The one or more cold catalysts are configured to catalytically decompose at least some residual ozone.
