Hi guys, today we are going to talk about one of the various criteria on which you can figure out what chimney is probably the best chimney for your kitchen. Today we are going to talk about the specifications for figuring out the right chimney for you. For this, there are generally two kinds of chimneys that are available in the market using two different technologies. One is the chimney which has a mesh filter and the other is the one which has baffle filters in it. So the mesh filter generally has an aluminum meshing in its filters which captures a lot of the odour, a lot of the oil particles and other particles in it. And the other air is basically sucked out through the outlet. So these are the filters which are a bit more tedious to maintain. They require more amount of washing and cleaning. Generally you need to do it every 15 days also to make sure that the chimney does not get completely clogged up and a lot more pressure is not being put on the motor because of the filter is not being clean. So this chimney is, it could be a very big handful if you are a family who likes to you know fry a lot of stuff, a lot of time you know another fan of Krontas then yeah probably you're going to have to maybe when clean the chimney filters maybe once a week or maybe once in 10 days also. As more and more you clean these filters they do get rusted over a period of time and they may require that you need to completely change them after a period of 4 to 5 years. So as the other one are the baffle filters. Now these shimmies are actually much more easier to maintain and they require cleaning once in every 6 months. They use a very different technology to cut the various particles from the air and segregate them in a proper way. These are the filters which can which are generally a little more expensive. They had this is the better technology to be used and are used in various international areas as well. So this filter is as I mentioned earlier little more easy to maintain, little more hassle free. They do require clean cleaning and these filters generally need to be cleaned once in every 5 to 6 months but the cleaning process is a little more tedious as well. You generally need to keep them soaked in a soapy water for let's say an overnight period of time and then you need to take them out, rinse them properly then reinstall them. These filters also do not have a similar lifespan around 6 years you can say 6 to 7 years after which sometimes they require that you need to be changed. So these are two basic criteria based upon your cooking style, your maintenance, preferences that you would like to have on the basis of which you can select which you need. The other criteria is the major one the well discussed one is the suction capacity. The suction capacity is basically the motors the motors ability to suck the most amount of air and throw it into the outlet at a regulated pace. Now this most people the generally just go for try to go for the highest suction capacity or a decent amount of suction capacity to make sure that oh you know the air is sucked out properly and air is you know the fumes are not the kitchen does not has too much order there is sucked out immediately and everything. But the point is the suction capacity is more is more for the purpose of making sure that the cooking area and outlet through which the air actually needs to move out. The distance between those are the major factor that needs to be considered. If the if the place where you are cooking and the place where the chimney is they are away let's say 10 feet from the place where the air needs to be vented out then you need a 1000 suction capacity. That's the basic ballpark through which you can calculate. So if it's 8 feet away you can do it with 800 suction capacity also. So generally let's say if the outlet is right above the chimney or pretty near to it one or two feet then you can even take 500 or 600 suction capacity and it will do fine. Try to go for a very high suction capacity even when the outlet is very close to the chimney. So what that does is that generally adds to the noise a lot because with a high power motor the generally the noise of the suction is a bit too high. So you can avoid that because you don't actually need a 1000 suction capacity if the outlet is just like two feet away that would be a bit of an overkill. So yeah you can you can take that into account and maybe the noise in the occasion from the suction will be less also. So we've covered two criteria. The third one is generally design which is you can take you can look at the various designs of the chimneys. Generally we guys suggest a flat line chimney which is basically just flat and you can have a somewhat of storage or some more space overhead it above it which you can use to have small storages and small decorative items can be put over there as well. The other ones are the one which have like wider hoods. Sometimes some people it appeals to quite a few people it's a rather older design but it still works and a lot of people buy it. These are the basic two design models for chimneys and we get various different materials from time to time of chimneys it could generally steal sometimes it's glass also to give it a very luxury look and sometimes it's even acrylic nowadays which is not advisable but sometimes they are. Another segregation for chimneys the two major segregation are the island chimney and the wall mounted one. So most of the time people go for wall mounted chimneys these are more practical and more durable basically used in medium to small size kitchens everywhere. The island chimneys are basically these big chimneys in which the ducting needs to go into the roof and POP's done after that to cover the ducting and this is generally because the chimney is not going to be wall mounted but it's going to be mounted from the roof so that it can provide a good suction capacity to a cooking area which is in the middle of the room rather than near a wall. These are generally very expensive chimneys because they require very high suction capacity and somewhat different kind of a design so that it can be wall mounted properly. So these are the basic measures and criteria through which you can figure out what kind of chimney you know you would like for your model occasion and you would know why and what is the purpose of suction capacity what are bathroom filters what are the other kinds of filters which would be your preference in it what design you can take and this would help.
