ABSTRACT:
An overhead ventilation hood for use within a ventilation system of a conventional cooking appliance. The hood includes a housing with a planar base surface and a recessed interior arrayed in a downwardly facing manner which is defined by a first side, a second spaced apart side, a first interconnecting end and a second interconnecting end. Intake and exhaust openings are formed through the housing proximate the first and second sides. The ventilation system includes a first blower mounted in communication with a first length of ductwork extending to the intake opening to provide a stream of pressurized intake air and a second blower mounted in communication with a second length of ductwork extending from the exhaust opening to provide a stream of pressurized exhaust air. A supply plenum chamber is established along the first side of the housing interior and includes first and second planar shaped channeling walls and a planar shaped diffuser for regulating a flow of the stream of pressurized air into a central open interior of the housing. The diffuser includes fixed grid members and spaced apart and pivotal blade members to adjust an airflow through the plenum chamber. An exhaust plenum chamber is established along the second side of the housing interior and includes an elongate planar shaped and angularly mounted filter. Combinations of heat, airborne grease and smoke are issued upwardly from the cooking appliance within the open interior of the hood and are discharged through the filter and within the stream of exhaust air concurrent with intermixing with the regulated flow of the stream of intake air.
