KVE – Capture Jet™ Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Hood (ETL)

The KVE Capture Jet™ Exhaust Hood is designed for projects that require a ventilation system balancing performance, energy efficiency, and smooth execution from design through turnover. It delivers clear value through reduced airflow requirements, high‑efficiency filtration, and a wide range of configurable options. The defined Capture Jet parameters, integrated T.A.B. ports, and strong filtration performance make the KVE straightforward to specify, commission, and verify, resulting in a reliable, code‑aligned kitchen ventilation system that supports both operational efficiency and long‑term maintainability.

How it works

Capture Jet™ with Side-Jet technology introduces capture air through a dedicated discharge panel to strengthen capture at the hood face and improve containment, allowing required exhaust airflow to be reduced while maintaining performance.

Performance Highlights

• Up to 30% lower exhaust airflow vs. traditional hoods
• High‑efficiency KSA multi‑cyclone filters: up to 95% removal at 8 microns (ASTM F2519)
• Integrated T.A.B. ports for accurate testing and balancing
• Stainless steel welded construction with multiple lighting options
• Defined Capture Jet™ airflow requirements for consistent performance
• Compatible with M.A.R.V.E.L. demand‑controlled kitchen ventilation
• Optional SafeGuard unifying ventilation control, condition monitoring, and remote diagnostics to help keep systems operating at it’s best.
• Optional Comfort Jet for operator comfort

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary benefit of the KVE Capture Jet™ hood?
Improved capture and containment with the potential to reduce exhaust airflow by up to 30%.

What filtration does the KVE use?
KSA multi‑cyclone filters rated for up to 95% removal at 8 microns per ASTM F2519.

How is airflow verified during commissioning?
Integrated T.A.B. ports allow accurate testing and balancing of both exhaust and Capture Jet™ air.

What are the Capture Jet airflow requirements?
Capture Jet air should not exceed 10% of the calculated exhaust airflow.

What discharge velocity is required?
A minimum of 1500 fpm.

What is Comfort Jet?
A factory‑installed plenum that delivers adjustable comfort air to the operator without disrupting capture and containment.

What is SafeGuard?
Halton SafeGuard is a IoT connected, smart kitchen solution that brings Halton’s ventilation control, monitoring, and safety technologies together in one platform. It continuously monitors cooking activity, air quality, and potential fire risks, then automatically adjusts hood airflow and provides proactive alerts and performance insights to help improve safety, comfort, and energy efficiency.
