A condensation hood in the hospitality industry is used to capture moisture and steam released during cooking or when using equipment like dishwashers, ovens, or steamers. It prevents the spread of steam in the kitchen, maintaining air quality and protecting equipment and walls from condensation damage. Functions of a Condensation Hood: 1. Moisture Control: Captures steam and condensation to prevent it from settling on surfaces. 2. Air Quality: Reduces excess moisture, preventing mold growth and odor issues. 3. Equipment Protection: Prolongs the lifespan of equipment by minimizing exposure to moisture. 4. Energy Efficiency: Reduces the workload on ventilation systems. Condensation hoods are typically installed above equipment that generates significant steam and are essential for professional commercial kitchens.
