The green hood of the future

    Project Details

    Description

    The project develops a new generation of cocker hoods w / u motor. Easy-to-install hoods that are energy efficient and sustainable with built-in heat recovery and air treatment that ensure a good indoor climate with low particle pollution. Thus, the focus is on energy consumption, indoor climate, sustainability, design and dimensioning. The hoods are an asset in the green transition and in the improvement of the indoor climate of housing.

    "The green hood of the future" is characterized by:
    • BAT level and documented test basis that ensures input to standards and legislation
    • Energy and odor efficient hood design through reduction of air volumes and associated pressure loss and reduced energy consumption while maintaining high ventilation efficiency
    • New pipe-in-pipe duct system with built-in heat recovery
    • Air treatment as safe odor-free exhaust air
    • Combined short-circuit-free design intake and return
    • Automation with user-friendly demand management
    • Sustainable design - based on LCA and LCC analyzes
    • Minimal particle spread, odorless and with low noise level
    • Cost-effective design

    The developed and tested prototypes are demonstrated in single-family houses and in a block of flats. The evaluation of the solution includes measured energy consumption (heat and electricity) and measured and experiences indoor climate (primarily particles, odor, moisture and sound).

    The total energy efficiency potential for heat by replacing all hoods in Denmark is calculated to be 750-800 GWh / year, plus 250-300 GWh / year for heat recovery. The associated electricity saving potential is modest 45-50 GWh / year.

    In addition, the crucial and necessary improvement of the efficiency of the hoods, improves the indoor climate of the home and the health of the residents.

    The potential is realized continuously over a number of years - primarily in step with the replacement of outdated hoods.

    The solutions are primarily aimed at the markets in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Germany, and sec-ondarily at other EU markets and the UK. The solutions are expected to be marketed one year after the completion of the project.

    The Next Generation of Green Cooking Hoods is developed in close collaboration between EXHAUSTO, the Danish Technological Institute and Danish Technical University.
