LoginIn 1998, a program was initiated to develop an innovative backshelf hood system that could achieve a much lower capture and containment (C&C) exhaust rate than traditional backshelf hoods. As part of this effort, an evaluation of the state-of-the-art tools in use in commercial kitchen ventilation in the United States was undertaken. This paper presents the new hood concept KVL, a description of the latest techniques available for determining C&C performance, and comparisons of the KVL new hood concept to other hoods.
