The impact on thermal comfort of the way of introducing replacement air (to replace air being exhausted by the hood) in a kitchen was analysed using mathematical models and laboratory experiments with a tyhermal mannequin. Results allow to rank systems for replacement air introduction from the most to the least tolerable : displacement ventilation, mixing ventilation with ceiling air diffusers, front-face discharge and backdrop plenum.
