Short Cycle Makeup Air (IPS)

What Is Short Cycle Makeup Air…And Why Do I Need It?

Short cycle makeup air systems are designed to replace the air exhausted by kitchen hoods without causing negative air pressure. HoodMart’s short cycle makeup air hoods feature an Internal Perforated Supply Plenum (IPS) that directs air into the front inside of the hood, utilizing the Coanda Effect to assist with air capture and containment.

Benefits of Short Cycle Makeup Air Hoods

HoodMart’s short cycle makeup air hoods are guaranteed to pass all city and state codes, ensuring compliance and safety. These hoods are factory-direct, providing competitive and fair pricing. The IPS design removes grease-laden vapors while replacing air, allowing the use of a fresh air makeup air fan instead of a costly tempered air unit. This reduces upfront costs, energy bills, and installation costs.
