REQUIRED VENTILATION RATE FOR IH ELECTRIC COOKING HEATER IN HOME KITCHENS

Houses which use only electricity are becoming popular in Japan. Electromagnetic ranges (IH range)are used in those houses. The updraft above an IH range is slower than a gas range. The requiredventilation rate is different for a gas range and an IH range. In this study, measurements of updraftvelocity and temperature distribution above the IH ranges are conducted.
