What is a Kitchen Chimney or kitchen hood?
- it is ducting fitted right above the gas stove in the kitchen as shown in the post.
- During cooking oil, smoke, steam, and odor are generated during cooking. These things flow upward through the ducting
- The oil gets trapped in the oil collectors but  smoke, steam, smoke/ black particles, and heat is exhausted of the kitchen through the duct
  
Â
Working Principle of Kitchen Chimeny
- Chimneys operate based on the principle of natural circulation that hot(low-density)Â air rises upward and cold air pushes hot air inside the chimney
- Â When a chimney is filled with hot smoke or other gases, these gases rise up through the chimney
- The hot rising gas creates a pressure difference known as a draft which pulls combustion gases out of the building.
