The Lo-Carbon Sentinel Kinetic Cooker Hood works seamlessly as an MVHR unit delivering energy efficient ventilation, providing healthy filtered air, supplying and extracting air continuously, recovering heat that would be otherwise lost. (MVHR units boast up to 94% heat recovery.) Then when the cooker hood is needed, it is simply pulled out to provide a purge of cooker fumes.
MVHR extracts warm, moist air from ‘wet’ rooms and passes it through the heat exchanger to preheat fresh incoming air or reduce incoming air temperatures in the summer months to improve home comfort. Furthermore, MVHR not only extracts harmful pollutants but also allows the air coming into the home to be filtered, taking out pollen and dangerous contaminants, improving indoor air quality.
Designed to fit in a 600mm wide aperture above a hob, the unit fits inside a kitchen unit for a seamless finish. The telescopic hood is pulled out when required and this triggers the MVHR unit to switch to a pre-defined boost speed and the summer bypass automatically opens to prevent cooking by-products entering the heat recovery cell. The hood incorporates removable metal grease filters; low energy lamps to illuminate the hob top; and is available with a white or brushed aluminium front trim.
The Sentinel Kinetic Cooker Hood features an integral humidity sensor option that increases speed in proportion to relative humidity levels, saving energy and reducing noise. The sensor also reacts to small but rapid increases in humidity, even if the normal trigger threshold is not reached, ensuring adequate ventilation. The night time relative humidity setback feature suppresses nuisance tripping as humidity gradually increases with falling temperature. It also features a revolutionary programmable 100% summer bypass to ensure year-round thermal comfort avoiding overheating.
