The Chimney Size Calculator tool is designed to help you calculate the ideal size of a kitchen chimney based on several factors, including the size of your stove, cooking frequency, and kitchen size. To use this tool, follow these steps:
- Fill in the fields of the form with the requested information. You will need to provide the size of your stove, the type of stove (gas or electric), the cooking frequency (per week), and the size of your kitchen (in square feet).
- Click on the “Calculate” button to submit the form. The tool will then use an algorithm to determine the ideal width of the chimney hood for your kitchen based on the information you provided.
The calculated value will be displayed on the same page as the form. This value represents the ideal width of the chimney hood required for your kitchen.
Note that the Chimney Size Calculator tool provides an estimate for the ideal size of the chimney hood required for your kitchen. It is recommended that you consult with a professional installer or a chimney hood manufacturer to ensure that you select the appropriate size for your specific installation.
With the help of the Chimney Size Calculator tool, you can easily calculate the ideal size of a kitchen chimney that will effectively extract smoke, fumes, and heat from your kitchen while cooking. This will help ensure a safe and comfortable cooking environment, while also preventing damage to your kitchen and appliances.
How To Calculate The Cooking Frequency
To calculate the cooking frequency for the Chimney Size Calculator tool, you need to estimate the number of hours per day that you use your stove for cooking. Here are some guidelines to help you estimate your cooking frequency:
- If you cook only one meal per day, estimate the time it takes to cook that meal and add 30 minutes for preheating and post-cooking activities such as cleaning and cooling.
- If you cook two meals per day, estimate the time it takes to cook each meal and add 30 minutes for preheating and post-cooking activities.
- If you cook three or more meals per day, estimate the time it takes to cook each meal and add 30 minutes for preheating and post-cooking activities. Then, multiply the total by the number of meals you cook per day.
For example, if you cook one meal per day and it takes you 30 minutes to cook and 30 minutes for preheating and post-cooking activities, your cooking frequency would be 1 hour per day. If you cook two meals per day and each meal takes 45 minutes to cook with 30 minutes for preheating and post-cooking activities, your cooking frequency would be 2.5 hours per day.
