Hi,

i have a small kitchen and it is very hot and humid during cooking.
I plan to get a portable aircond 1 HP from Midea initially but now thinking of getting properly1 small Panasonic Aircond on the wall.

Any advice?I have never come across any1 fitting aircond in an oily environment.
Please advice.

Thank you.

How much time you spend in the kitchen ?

The aircon will be clogged in a month from all the cooking oil.

Best is to find someplace to vent out the kitchen smoke using 2x 12" KDK exhaust fan

You don't need air-cond in kitchen. It is going to suck oil vapor and and all kind of smell and contribute to special house smell

What kind of house? Cannot have ventilation or put a good hood to vent not only smell but heat out?

I have no problem with exhaust fan as my hood is strong enough.
I just need cooling appliance.

LOL. A genius put aircon in the kitchen. A little bit of heat also cannot stand. Go buy high power fan & blow away all.

This is good example where ppl will said if u have nothing better to said then please be silent(this is saying in a good way).
Because I am genius and i know why i need it:
1)Is hell hot bc kitchen is small(is not a little heat-u retarded head[dont simply come and give conclusion])
2)My family members have skin condition

So solution is cooling apparatus.My limited knowledge,i only know aircond will do the work.Yes i am aware of the oily environment.

Maybe 4 hours
Thank you

Your hood vent outside or just circulate inside kitchen?

Many design kitchen with windows next to hobs, thus making hood less effective in venting heat out.

High power fan and u want blow off the fire???
super genius
Thanks for your unconstructive advices.
Thank you

Ceiling/stand fan would be a better alternative.

Although aircond no problem as long u willing to pay and do maintenance.

Double storey but kiitchen is really small.
So aircond is a no no

If people give you some idea & cannot take it just leave it. Did I say something bad word to you. I'm not saying anything much. Take it or leave it.

Use air water cooler but face away from stove.

Blow using the fan to exhaust or add additional fan to suck out. A little bit of diy needed. I'm not saying much. Use you own way...

No offence but u come here asking for advice then u pissed off when ppl say your choice is not good?

like i've said if u think its a good choice then just install one, u not asking for aircond model right?
otherwise maybe u should close this tered

You need to plan air movement so it is in one direction. If you want to put air-cond, then you may not want the air-cond to suck the air from kitchen.

If the cool air can come into kitchen from kitchen entrance, then you can cool down that area. So that when hood suck air out, the cooler air from the entrance can breeze in. The air vent has to be on the opposite side.

It is just n idea how to prevent from kitchen from becoming heat trap area.

No offence too.
I came asking for advice and i am not angry about choice/advice comment on better options.
HOWEVER you are being rude.
Unlike others who are able to generate a polite opinion and constructive advices.

Closing thread?Please do so if u u think is right.
I perceived you who are unable to understand problem statements and construct respectful advices.

1st u are rude and then poor understanding and wanted to close thread.Genius you are.

I strongly agree with this.
have thought about it initially.
Apaprently the kitchen part the air flow seems to be bad likely due to the house design/position i assumed.
Things got worst when the cooking start.
For ventilation, i have my kitchen hood on and have tried using fan and kitchen door open to outside.
It doesnt seems to make any much better airflow and heat dispersion.
Strong possibility of small kitchen i though.

lol u are not only rude, but really a nuts and your username suits u.

good buy then

I bet your kitchen door is at the end where you also have your hood vent out. Opening this door probably won't help and can even make it worse when wind blows in from there.

My kitchen hood is far from windows or kitchen door (going outside of the house). I do not open any of them when cooking. The hood suck air out and air from hall enters through kitchen entrance. It is one way flow and it is never hot into uncomfortable temp in my kitchen. Maybe my hood is good too. The shop told me my vent would be too far for the hood but I ignored it I drilled my wall and run on top of my kitchen an 8" white PVC pipe about 18' long to my back wall where windows is located.

Maybe my hood is good and my kitchen never felt oily

Now that sound very good idea.Will get back n look into it.
Thanks mate.

ts, just ignore all the rude trolls here.

if your kitchen is small and you worry about damaging it with oil vapor, then just put the aircond in the upcoming hallway or something. no need pening kepala.

and i do agree with you on portable aircond, its useless especially since the price is almost the same as wall aircond

Open all windows, put extra exhaust fans and ceiling fans to cool off your kitchen will do the trick yes?

Putting AC in kitchen area is a big no no as kitchen is designed to be a HOT area for houses.

How high is your kitchen ceiling??

If you have the space you can consider a kitchen ventilation system from Daikin but you will need to use it in conjunction with a residential central air conditioner system.

Your other option? First get a very good kitchen hood that has good efficiency when it comes to trapping oil. The next is to have induction instead of ceramic or gas cookers, this does help to reduce the heat in the kitchen.

Once you have done that and that Daikin system is too pricey for your budget then you could either a 1hp air conditioner at the end furthest away from the hob or you could use a ventilator to bring in cool air from an air conditioned area of the house. If you do decide to go with an air conditioner then all you do need to do is clean the filters more often like twice per week and have it serviced every 2 months, it would not harm anything.

I have a/c in my dry kitchen. My ceiling is high ~11 feet. And I have the best hood I can afford Fotile JQG9009S.

The a/c is blowing at my wall kitchen cabinet, so its not blowing down/at the direction of people.

As long as you do not do heavy cooking or blow at the direction of the smoke/oil, so far it is fine. I find it useful if you spend time in the kitchen doing prep work. Otherwise really hot there.

Oh and I bought the cheapest 1.5HP air con, so just going to use it until it koyak.
