Island cooking applications are the most challenging to provide full capture and containment of the convective plume and effluent. Typically these applications are display type where full capture and noise reductions are paramount. Influencing capture are cross drafts that tend to move the plume in one direction or another. Halton’s Capture Bar can be integrated as surface-mounted air curtains at the appliance level. The Capture Bar is an invisible air wall created to straighten and direct the plume, transport it into the hood cavity and provide resistance to cross-drafts. This affect typically allows for reduction in exhaust air flow rates which acts to reduce the replacement air required. In addition to increasing efficiency, sound levels can be reduced – all essential elements in a comfortable display/ open kitchen configuration.
