Recirculating Kitchen hood size in house with MVHR

[Lemna gibba]

We are designing our kitchen and working out what would be a suitable hood. Our house will have an MHVR system. Therefore, we are looking at recirculating hoods. This will be located above an island and we will have an 80 cm induction hob. All the information that we see regarding sizing of re-circulating hoods doesn't seem to apply for houses with MVHR.

 

The two bits of information that we see are that the physical size of the hood should be wider than the hob. The other is that the capacity of the hood should be 10 times the volume of the room, which in our case would be 750 L/h as we have an open plan area. 

 

We think we need to focus on the second rule and the first doesn't match with the hoods we see. Does this seem reasonable? Also we would be very happy if people gave recommendations for hoods that had worked will for them.

Ignore all the rules you have mentioned. With MVHR you don't really need anything, but if you are cooking smelly food the carbon filter helps. Concentrate on looks, but importantly noise. We rarely use the fan above the first setting, because it make little or difference and is noisy.

Also make sure your choice can regenerate the carbon filters

That's really clear. We'll go for something small and stylish. We're a half Finnish family so we like our grilled fish. Will check out regenerative filters.

We have MVHR and opted for an extractor hood. I figured its not running a high percentage of the time and when it is it probably just gives the MVHR incoming fan an easier ride. It doesn't seem it affect our wood burner either.

Our budget was in control until we saw this:
