CHINOOK, derived from a warm downward sloping wind, offers great
value for the cost-conscious kitchen. Standard features include attractive
single-shell hood with stainless steel on exposed surfaces.
The systems also feature pre-wired, UL-listed incandescent light fixtures,
as well as aluminum grease filters, a removable grease trough and grease
cup for easy cleanup, and built-in, three-inch rear air space. An optional
zero-inch clearance is approved for use against combustible surfaces and
is available on the top, back, or ends.
Our CHINOOK and TAKU models are available
in three basic hood designs to meet the specific
application you’re designing.
1. Exhaust Only Exhaust only is a design that allows for some of the lowest exhaust
rates in the industry. You control what and where air is exhausted, without the extensive
requirements of internal make-up air equipment. It is ideal for new constructions where
make-up air can be adequately replaced through building design and for existing make-
up air systems with adequate capacity to replace exhausted air.
2. Front Face Make-Up Air
Front face make-up air (MUA) is a popular, inexpensive
design that supplies heated, cooled, or ambient air to the cooking area via several
methods:
• Perforated flat front MUA: Spreads an even flow of supply air across the face of
the ventilation system. This design economically introduces high volumes of
supply air without the need for ceiling or wall diffusers.
• Perforated sloped front MUA: Allows the same low-velocity, even flow as the flat
front method, yet directs airflow downward as well as outward. As much as 90
percent of exhausted air can be replaced, limiting the expense of additional
return air diffusers.
• Front face diffuser: Employs double deflection diffusers that offer greater
flexibility in adjusting and directing airflow to ensure the proper air movement
in your environment.
There are no tools needed for perforated front face MUA hoods—an Avtec specialty.
Removable panels easily lift up and pull out for easy cleaning, making this one of the
easiest-to-maintain designs on the market.
3. Short Circuit Make-Up Air
Short circuit make-up air is a design—popular for
light-duty cooking equipment—that minimizes the amount of air removed from the area by
supplying make-up air directly under the hood. The amount of exhaust varies with kitchen
design, so discuss your application with us to get the right design to meet your needs:
• Internal slot short circuit: Your best choice for low-heat, low-grease applications.
Internal MUA condenses steam and guides the effluent in the capture plenum
toward the capture device. Make-up air is supplied through a slot with a
perforated plate, evenly distributing air.
• Internal diffuser: More efficient than the slot style, as the diffuser assembly
— located inside the capture plenum — is targeted directionally to ensure more
efficient use and capture of the cooking and combustion effluent. Ideal for low-
and medium-temperature cooking.
• Internal diffuser with capture curtain: This specially engineered design creates a
face velocity, while the internal diffuser supplies a stream of air directed at the
filters, making it the most efficient short circuit ventilation design on the market.
Ideal for medium- and high-temperature cooking.
Available on all hood designs
All of our hood designs are available with UL-listed
grease filters or modular grease extractor cartridges.
• UL-listed grease filters: Capture grease particulates on the filter surface through
impingement and deliver them to the grease gutter.
• Modular grease extractor cartridges: Remove extreme amounts of grease from
the air stream! Both our high-volume exhaust cartridge (for high air volumes)
and low-volume exhaust cartridge (for low- to mid-range air volumes) are
rigorously tested to ensure optimal performance.

... To Cutting Edge
TAKU, derived from an Alaskan wind that can reach hurricane force, is our top-of-the-
line ventilation system. It’s ideal for open kitchens where designer-driven aesthetics
are a must. A double-skin ventilation hood allows customized interior and exterior
finishes to match any décor.
TAKU models feature heavy 300 series stainless steel throughout. Pre-wired, UL
listed light fixtures are designed not to exceed three-feet on center, giving you
the light you need. A concealed grease gutter and removable grease cup add
to the pleasing aesthetics, as do stainless steel grease filters or modular grease
extractor cartridges—as well as our popular programmable water wash system for
applications that require the best available technology on the market. Adjustable
location hanger brackets and built-in, three-inch rear air space are standard.
