Abstract
A ventilation system for removing cooking effluents and combustion products from an exhaust of a cooking appliance. The ventilation system includes a ventilation hood having an air inlet and an exhaust gas outlet disposed over the cooking appliance, a water bath disposed in the ventilation hood between the air inlet and the exhaust outlet, and an effluent removal assembly disposed above the water bath. The cooking effluents in contact with the effluent removal assembly are transferred to the surrounding water, and the clean airflow may be recirculated. Grease particles are also transferred to the surrounding water.
