Vent-A-Hood® Power Lung Technology

Vent-A-Hood®’s Power Lung products are engineered as efficient and quiet ventilators incorporating superior performance that fits the needs of the most common cooking products in the marketplace.

The exclusive Vent-A-Hood® Power Lung Blower and Centrifugal Filter chamber are built together to work as one in a single housing. Engineered to provide superior performance, the Power Lung eliminates grease that baffle filters and mesh screens do not.

Vent-A-Hood®’s Power Lung Delivers What Matters Most in Ventilation

• CAPTURES GREASE:
  Vent-A-Hood® range hoods featuring the exclusive Power Lung blower with the Centrifugal Filter chamber actively remove grease from the air. The grease is captured and held in a collecting tray that can be remove and cleaned. Grease is the enemy, and the Power Lung wins the battle.
• CONTROLS SMOKE:
  Vent-A-Hood®’s Active Canopy design ensures more interior surface is utilized to hold hot air and smoke, preventing it from exiting the hood canopy and into the room.
• EFFICIENT:
  Engineered with a canopy, incorporating a capture area for vapor holding capacity, makes the Power Lung much more effective and energy-efficient requiring lower CFM (cubic foot per minute) of air removal. Much like European products, the patented Power Lung design combines energy efficiency with superior product performance. Products available include 6” tall insert liners for wood enclosures, under-cabinet models including the stylish emerald series design, and traditional professional designs.
