Compensating kitchen hoods
Compensating (Tempered Air) hoods introduce tempered (heated and/or cooled) or untempered air into the kitchen independent of other make-up air systems. In most climates, to maintain a comfortable working temperature in the kitchen, it will be necessary to heat and/or cool outside air supplied through a tempered air hood.
