It removes airborne grease, combustion products, fumes, smoke, odors, heat, and steam from the air by evacuation of the air and filtration . In commercial kitchens exhaust hoods are often used in combination with fire suppression devices so that fumes from a grease fire are properly vented and the fire is put out quickly . Commercial vent hoods may also be combined with a fresh air fan that draws in exterior air, circulating it with the cooking fumes, which is then drawn out by the hood . </P> <P> In most exhaust hoods, a filtration system removes grease (the grease trap) and other particles . Although many vent hoods exhaust air to the outside, some recirculate the air to the kitchen . In a recirculating system, filters may be used to remove odors in addition to the grease . </P>
