摘要:
A self-contained, mass-producible fume hood or canopy for mounting in the space above a cooking appliance, so that fumes which pass upwardly into the hood will be removed from the room. Supply air from the exterior of the room is supplied to the hood and is fed through a baffle and throat apparatus toward filter and exhaust means, such baffle and throat apparatus being horizontally, vertically and angularly adjustable. The direction of supply air flow from the baffle and throat apparatus is caused to be substantially perpendicular to the filter, and the supply air first strikes the filter at an intermediate region as distinguished from the upper and lower regions. The relationships are caused to be such that some of the supply air passes directly through the filter, whereas other supply air rolls or vortexes (swirls) upwardly and downwardly. Upper and lower deflector means are provided to cause the upwardly and downwardly rolling supply air to return to the filter means for exhaust therethrough. The upper vortex is caused to be very large, whereas the lower is small. Means are provided to direct part of the supply air horizontally below the adjustable baffle and throat apparatus, thus entraining fumes and directing the same toward the filter means. Inclined means are provided to deflect fumes into the region above the lower deflector means. Trough and heater means are provided to receive grease from the filter, and means are provided to remove condensed water. The method of the invention relates to the critical air velocities, directions, and paths adapted to effect a substantially 100 percent removal of fumes from the region above the cooking appliance, with very little removal of cooled or heated air from the room.

A broiler having a cabinet with spaced burners therein and grill sections above the burners. Inverted V-shaped radiants above the burners direct radiant heat outwardly and upwardly onto the grill sections. Deflector members above the radiants deflect convected heat passing around the radiants also outwardly onto the grill sections. Baffle elements directly over the deflector members and located between the grill sections prevent greases, etc. from dripping onto the deflector elements. An inclined drip pan is water cooled to prevent greases, etc. dropping from meat on the grill sections from burning and consequent smoking.
摘要:
A vortex-type smoke hood, in which the liner of the hood is substantially continuously curved in such manner that the vortex action is improved greatly. One result is that the supply air velocity may be increased by a major amount, without causing "bouncing" of air and fumes out of the hood. The curved wall produces the additional benefit of rendering more smooth the flow path of the inlet air.In a second embodiment, a plate shelf and/or pass-through are combined with the hood, creating a very convenient relationship and one whereby the cook remains highly comfortable.
