PROJECT-CONFIGURED STEAM & CONDENSATE CAPTURE

Commercial Condensate Hood

SourcePro coordinates commercial condensate hood configurations around the steam source, equipment opening cycle, canopy geometry, baffle arrangement, condensate collection, drainage, exhaust airflow and cleaning access. Dishwasher and heavy-steam formats can be reviewed with optional low-velocity make-up air.

Overview

Product Overview

A condensate hood manages moisture rather than assuming a grease-producing cooking process. Steam release pattern, machine doors, pot or kettle operation, canopy coverage, internal deflectors, condensate gutters, drain routing and corrosion environment affect the correct configuration. The system should also allow safe cleaning and access without dripping back onto equipment or operators.

Key Features

Dishwasher and heavy-steam canopy formats

Angled baffles or deflectors for condensate separation

Internal liner, gutter and drain-tap configurations

Optional balancing points and low-velocity supply air

Welded stainless construction and removable access

Sectional formats for large steam-producing equipment

Applications

Where This Product Is Used

A condensate hood is not automatically a grease hood. Final application, airflow, baffle design, drainage, materials, mounting, supply-air options and compliance must be confirmed against the actual equipment and local requirements.

Commercial Condensate Hood FAQ

Is a condensate hood the same as a grease hood?

No. A condensate hood is primarily for steam and moisture capture. If grease-producing equipment is involved, the hood and filtration must be separately reviewed for that duty.

Does a condensate hood require drainage?

A condensate channel and drain connection are common. Final drain size, route, trap and wastewater arrangement depend on the hood and site.

Can it be used above a pass-through dishwasher?

Yes. Dishwasher steam hoods are within the sourcing scope, but the machine opening cycle, steam release, canopy position and exhaust requirement must be confirmed.
