To calculate the Hood Fan Size (F):
\[ F = \frac{(V \cdot A)}{60} \]
Where:
A hood fan, also known as a range hood or exhaust hood, is a device containing a mechanical fan that hangs above the stove or cooktop in the kitchen. It removes airborne grease, combustion products, fumes, smoke, odors, heat, and steam from the air by evacuation of the air and filtration. Hood fans are essential for maintaining good indoor air quality and ensuring a comfortable cooking environment. They come in various sizes and capacities, and the appropriate size is determined based on the kitchen volume and the required number of air changes per hour.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ F = \frac{(1000 \cdot 10)}{60} = 166.67 \text{ CFM} \]
The Hood Fan Size is 166.67 CFM.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ F = \frac{(1500 \cdot 12)}{60} = 300 \text{ CFM} \]
The Hood Fan Size is 300 CFM.
