A Short Survey for a Thermo-Ducted Kitchen Hood Wasted Heat Self-Powered

Abstract

In this note, a brief survey is given to the possibility for a thermo-ducted kitchen hood where exhaust fan or other mechanical devices are no longer needed, and then, in addition, no sound is generated. The aim of this thermo-ducted kitchen hood is a device self-powered by its own wasted heat produced from the simmering or cooking process by re-injecting properly this heat at the top of the hood and then exacerbating an induced thermal convective loop able to extract moisture, odors, and oils generated.
