Is a 1" smaller duct for Zephyr hood a problem?
Comments (3)I would expect no longevity effect from a less-than-specified-diameter duct. Pressure loss in the duct will be higher, and hence flow rate from the hood blower will be lower, but the fan curve in concert with a duct loss calculator would have to be consulted to determine how much. For a given volumetric flow rate, the velocity of the air will be higher and hence the turbulence noise from the air flow will be higher. One might want to believe that replacing a six foot run with the correct size duct would be straightforward. Failure of the installer to measure the hood interface or read the directions is not the customer's fault. This is the type of oversight that adequate oversight would have caught. kas...See MoreZephyr hood with "decibel suppression system"
Comments (7)"... pesky decibels flying around the house" Heh heh. Good one weedmeister. At first I thought someone had invented a new unit of measure, suppressing decibels to millibels. What Zephyr meant was noise suppression, hence a lower decibel measurement value at a given location. I suspect the author of that advertising gimmick didn't know much about the topic. One can only suppress noise from a hood with an internal blower in a limited number of ways, mainly: lower air flow rate less restrictive (but maybe less effective) baffles different blower design reducing blade tip turbulence noise (larger slower fan) As noted in the sones values, this reduction will be modest, at best. Unfortunately, decibels and sones are not particularly close (commensurate) friends; see the link for more details. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sone kas...See MoreLook of Zephyr hood on wall

Comments (0)Hello - we are purchasing kitchenaid black stainless steel appliances and it was suggested to us to get the Zephyr black stainless steel hood to pair with our kitchenaid appliances. However, I’m concerned that kitchenaid black stainless steel and zephyr’s black stainless steel hood may be different colors. Does anyone have these? Do they match or look noticeable different?...See Morejakkom
