Hi there everyone. I am a newbie here, so just want some advice on my Elba kitchen hood. There's no enough suction or totally no suction at all. Recently just installed it and up to now still can't use it. Don't know if it's the hood or ducting problems. By the way, if the celling to high, will it affect the suction power? Anyone encounter this problem before? Thank you

QUOTE(ceo684 @ Sep 28 2020, 01:17 PM) I think it depends on the distance from the pot and hood. 1400m3/hr is a bit better than a 30cm ventilation fan so on paper it should work. Is it ducted properly? I think it's ducted properly but my original 6 inch ducting was connected to the apartment 4 inch pvc pipe. The distance from my pot and hood also standard one.

QUOTE(Zot @ Sep 28 2020, 01:26 PM) You meant the apartment prepared 4" PVC for exhaust?  Yup, correct. I already ask people to install reducer 6 inch to 4 inch but still not working. Maybe the ducting to pvc at celling there to high then the pvc pipe to outside the wall too long ( ard 20 feet )... Sigh, management just told me that my kitchen hood "no power" one...

Turbulence is another way in which airflow is restricted. The main cause of turbulence is 90 degree elbows in ducts. Air doesn't flow like a liquid  Thanks for the concern, but I didn't install the carbon filter. Anyway, will ask people to check the pvc pipe on the ceiling.
