Under-induction system having function of regenerating air
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Induction cooking systems generate smoke and oil vapors during cooking, particularly when cooking fish or meats, which can lead to indoor air pollution and hygiene issues, making it challenging to maintain a clean and comfortable indoor environment, especially in high-class settings like hotels.
Innovation Solution
An under-induction system with a hood portion to draw in cooking gases, an oil separation portion to filter oil vapors, and an air regeneration unit that includes a chamber with a motor, cell portion for electrostatic separation, and multi-filter layers to purify the air, ensuring effective removal of smoke and odors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a duct system is installed to discharge indoor air outside, then smoke and odors can be removed, but installation is limited in high-class indoor environments and hygiene problems occur if not properly managed
Solution Approach 1:
The harmful oil components are extracted from the cooking smoke through the oil separation portion, removing the problematic substance while allowing the air to be recirculated rather than requiring external ductwork
Solution Approach 2:
An oil separation portion is introduced as an intermediary component between the cooking area and the air regeneration system, capturing oil droplets before the air enters the regeneration unit, thus preventing hygiene issues while maintaining air quality
2Productivity
If smoke and oil vapors are generated during cooking, then cooking efficiency is maintained, but indoor air pollution and hygiene issues increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system converts the harmful cooking smoke into a beneficial resource by regenerating and recirculating the filtered air back into the cooking space, maintaining cooking efficiency while eliminating pollution
Solution Approach 2:
The oil separation portion discards harmful oil components while the air regeneration unit recovers and recirculates the cleaned air, separating the harmful substance from the useful air for reuse
3Object-affected harmful factors
If air is continuously circulated through the system, then indoor air quality is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system recovers and recirculates cleaned air back into the cooking space, reducing the need for continuous energy-intensive air replacement while maintaining air quality
Solution Approach 2:
The air regeneration operates in cycles, processing air periodically rather than requiring continuous high-energy operation, allowing the system to maintain air quality with reduced energy consumption
