Description

Submission of details required by condition 9 (Fume filtration/extraction) of planning permission 19/0340/FUL The development does not contain any commercial kitchens. All student kitchens, including those within studio bedrooms, contain a recirculating extractor hood. When re-circulating, the extractor uses a two-stage process to ?clean? the air before it is re-circulated back into the kitchen. Grease filtration ? the metal grease filter captures oil and solid particles Charcoal filter ? the activated carbon adsorbs odour molecules The active carbon found in charcoal filters traps the odour molecules and prevents them from being recirculated back into the room, eliminating the smells from cooking. The charcoal filter has a 180mm diameter and a height 20mm Data via plota.co.uk
