Description:BACKGROUND
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiment herein generally relates to a kitchen exhaust treatment system and more particularly, an automatic kitchen harmful pollutants aftertreatment control & monitoring system and method thereof.
Description of Related Art
[0002] Traditionally, exhaust systems are used in homes, commercial and public kitchen. The exhaust systems remove odors and hot air generated while cooking The exhaust systems includes an exhaust hood, an exhaust pipe, a ventilation fan, and a roof. The odour and hot air generated is sucked inside the exhaust hood and the odour and hot air travels through the exhaust pipe to the roof. The ventilation fan removes the odour and hot air from the exhaust pipe.
[0003] Already kitchen chimneys (or) range hoods are used to filter out oil, heat, smoke and unwanted contaminants. The two most common types are ducted and ductless range hoods. Ducted range hoods pull air through ductwork that can run through your wall or ceiling and then outside your home. This is the most effective option in your home since they filter all the grease, dirt, and chemicals in your air outside your home.
[0004] Ductless hoods, in contrast, recirculate your kitchen air through some type of filter. It will trap some grease and dirt, but the same air will recirculate inside your home.
[0005] Common harmful gases are carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen dioxide(NO2), formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds like oils & fats. And these gases are filtered by mesh, baffle and charcoal filters (activated carbon filters).
[0006] The main challenge with the traditional exhaust systems are harmful gases are not treated automatically. The harmful gases are generated from Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and other cooking products.
[0007] Accordingly, there remains a need for automatic kitchen harmful pollutants aftertreatment control & monitoring system and method thereof.
