Activated Carbon for Cooker Hoods Heycarbons Manufacturer From China
Cooker hood is an indispensable appliance in modern kitchens, playing an important role in both home kitchens and large commercial kitchens. Cooker hoods use efficient filtration systems to handle cooking fumes and odors, keeping the kitchen clean and tidy.
Activated carbon, with its excellent adsorption properties, has become a key component of the purification system. In all types of kitchen environments, regular maintenance and replacement of activated carbon filters are necessary measures to ensure that range hoods continue to operate efficiently.
Activated Carbon for Cooker Hoods Functions
Highly effective in removing odors
Activated carbon filters perform excellently in adsorbing and removing various odors generated during the cooking process. They can effectively capture odor molecules and keep the kitchen air fresh and pleasant.
Significantly improve air quality
Through its powerful adsorption capacity, activated carbon can capture harmful pollutants in the air, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde and benzene, thereby significantly improving indoor air quality.
In addition, it can also intercept some airborne bacteria and viruses, helping to reduce the risk of airborne diseases and create a healthier living environment.
Collaborative reduction of oil and grease pollution
The activated carbon filter works together with the grease filter to capture tiny grease particles in the air, further reducing the spread of oil mist and preventing oil stains from depositing on kitchen surfaces such as cabinets and walls, and extending the cleaning cycle. The double filtration system ensures that the air returning to the kitchen is clean and odor-free.
Easy installation, high cost performance
Compared with the traditional exhaust duct system, the circulating range hood equipped with activated carbon filter is easier to install and does not require opening holes for exhaust. It is particularly suitable for high-rise residential buildings, old kitchens or rental spaces.
At the same time, the overall cost is lower and maintenance is easier, which is suitable for users who focus on practicality and economy.
Activated Carbon for Cooker Hoods Working Process
1. Fume enters
- The hot oil smoke produced during cooking is sucked into the range hood fan;
- The smoke contains a large amount of oil particles, water vapor, odor, and harmful gases (such as formaldehyde and VOCs).
2. Primary filtration: metal grease filter
- Aluminum alloy or stainless steel filter physically intercepts large particles of grease and some water vapor;
- The filter can be disassembled and cleaned and is a reusable component.
3. Secondary filtration: activated carbon filtration
- Installed after the grease filter, it is specially used to absorb odors and harmful gases;
- Main filters: smoke, cooking odors, volatile organic compounds (such as formaldehyde, benzene, ketones)
- Activated carbon cannot be cleaned and needs to be replaced regularly (recommended every 3-6 months).
4. Air is discharged or circulated back to the room
- Models with exhaust ducts: the purified air is discharged to the outside by the fan;
- Circulation models without exhaust ducts (commonly found in high-rise/rented houses): the purified air flows directly back to the kitchen, relying on activated carbon for purification.
Does the activated carbon used in the range hood need to be replaced?
Yes! The activated carbon filter of the range hood must be replaced regularly, otherwise not only will the purification effect decrease, but it may also cause secondary pollution.
Cooker hood carbon filter replacement
1. Adsorption saturation failure
The microporous structure of activated carbon will gradually be filled with oil smoke and odor molecules, and usually reaches the adsorption limit in 3 to 6 months (depends on the specific usage), after which it can no longer purify the air.
Pollutants may be released after saturation: When activated carbon can no longer adsorb, high temperature or humidity changes may cause the adsorbed harmful substances (such as formaldehyde and odor) to be released back into the air.
2. Grease blockage affects performance
Even with a pre-filter, some grease will still adhere to the surface of activated carbon, blocking the pores, reducing ventilation efficiency, and causing the range hood to weaken suction.
3. Breeding of bacteria and mold
After long-term adsorption of oil smoke and moisture, activated carbon may become a breeding ground for bacteria and mold (especially in a humid environment), affecting kitchen hygiene.
When the activated carbon filter becomes noticeably black, greasy or emits an odor, it is time to replace the activated carbon filter.
