BVE250 Filtered Kitchen Ceiling Ventilation Fan

This provides maximum flexibility of kitchen design, even hobs located on central Island worktops, currently very on trend. That means you can have a hob on your island without the visual obstruction of a cooker hood.

Property developers can install the BVE250 kitchen ceiling fan before the specific kitchen design is decided by the client.

The BVE 250 can also be used in larger bathroom or home gyms.

In kitchens the Building Regulations stipulate that a fan located above the cooker hob is required to exhaust a min of 30 litres per second. The same minimum airflow is required for a Utility room fan. However, if not located directly above the hob in a kitchen, the fan must be capable of exhausting a minimum of 60 litres per second.

Our BVE250 kitchen ceiling fan exhausts 70 litres per second on it’s higher setting. Due to this high airflow, it can be sited almost anywhere in the kitchen ceiling, but due to 4 way air intake for clearance please locate it slightly away from any wall and not above where any wall mounted kitchen cabinets might subsequently be mounted.

The only thing required is a 100mm/4” duct within the ceiling void to an outside wall. You need to verify that you have sufficient depth within the ceiling void to accommodate the fan body (the black plastic) as only the white section (see photo) protrudes slightly down from your kitchen ceiling. The fan body requires a min ceiling void depth of 180 mm. The white section of the fan (so what is visible from your kitchen) is 250 x 250 mm by 25mm deep to the ceiling face. Although full rate 70 litres per second, under the drop down cover is a rocker switch which can be set to a lower speed/noise moving 50 litres per second extraction rate (somewhat quieter). There is a filter inside which can be slid out periodically for cleaning.

The fan requires an AC mains supply, but has onboard conversion to a dc motor. That means very low energy consumption when the fan is on. Just 8 watts on the 50 litres per second setting and 19 watts on the 70 litres per second extraction rate. So less than 0.7 pence per hour to run when the fan is running on full speed, and less than 0.3 pence per hour when running on the lower extraction rate of 50 litres per second.
