Exhaust fans in both the kitchen and bathroom are ideal for maintaining clean air, reducing the risk of illness and disease. After cooking, and even with plates and cutlery waiting to be washed, all sorts of potential errors and microbes hang in the air - this is one of the areas in which extractors stand out.
The other contributes to maintaining air at a reasonable and comfortable temperature. After a hot bath or cooking a fried lunch, the air temperature is much higher than before. To maintain a good level of humidity in the air and to keep you comfortable, the exhaust fan thus removes a lot of this hot air to maintain a low temperature, including clean and fresh air.
However, with bathroom and kitchen fans, you might think that they both do this work as well as each other — this is not true. There are clear recommendations regarding the use and safety for each to agree. In order to be sold, the extractor fan must comply with the safety regulations set by industry standards, and must also be above a certain level of quality - the extractor fan must be able to remove a certain amount of air from a room at a given time in order to qualify for sale.
So what are the differences between an exhaust fan in a kitchen or bathroom? Simple in fact, but the fan for exhausting the bathroom must be safe for use in the bathroom, where contact with water is absolutely but absolutely possible. Therefore, for the bathroom fans should be low power and well closed. The cover provides good protection against contact with water, while low power ensures that if contact with water ever happens, it is illegal to cause injury.
For comparison, the fan installed in the kitchen is completely different. Although safety is paramount in the bathroom, the kitchen has many different considerations. There are safety rules here, but with a fan, probably out of reach, away from contact with water, they are much less stringent. Here, almost the only concern is the amount of air that can be shifted per second by a fan. Provided that the fan is capable of removing 15 liters of air per second from the room, the fan will be within the guidelines and ideal for use in the kitchen - very different from low-power, bathroom-safe alternatives.
