How AirIQ Technology in Kitchen Chimneys Keep Kitchen Clean & Healthy

Every one of us deserves clean air, and that shouldn’t stop at the kitchen door. Cooking; especially in compact or closed kitchens; can quickly fill the air with smoke, grease, and strong aromas. This makes the space less fresh and comfortable. Traditional chimneys rely on manual controls, leaving you to adjust suction based on what you see or smell. Crompton’s AirIQ Technology changes that.

It is India’s first and only Air Quality Index (AQI)-led solution that continuously monitors your kitchen air. It automatically adjusts suction according to the air to keep smoke, odours, and grease under control. Crompton’s AirIQ technology can help you build a cleaner, healthier, and more enjoyable cooking experience. This article explains the AirIQ technology used in Crompton chimneys in depth.

What is AirIQ Technology?

Crompton’s AirIQ technology is an intelligent feature in modern kitchen chimneys that helps maintain healthier air while you cook. With this smart kitchen chimney technology, a built-in sensor monitors the air quality in your kitchen and detects smoke, grease particles and odours. Based on these readings, the chimney automatically adjusts its suction to reduce pollutants and improve air quality.

It’s important to note that AirIQ technology in kitchen chimney improves air quality but it does not purify air completely. This technology works alongside proper ventilation to create a cleaner and comfortable cooking environment.

Key Benefits of AirIQ Technology

Now that you know how smart chimney technology works to keep your air clean, here are the multiple benefits AirIQ technology offers:

• Adaptive Suction for Cleaner Air

  The built-in sensor continuously monitors the air quality in your kitchen. When smoke, fumes or grease particles rise, the chimney automatically adjusts its suction to remove these pollutants from the kitchen efficiently. This ensures that your kitchen air stays cleaner without any manual intervention.

• Healthier Cooking Environment

  By reducing airborne particles, AirIQ technology helps create a comfortable and healthier space for you and your family. It helps minimise respiratory irritants and keeps the kitchen fresh during and after cooking.

• Smart and Convenient Operation

  You don’t have to adjust fan speed or settings constantly. This smart chimney for kitchen intelligently responds to air quality changes allowing you to focus on cooking while it handles the rest.

• Low Maintenance

  By controlling smoke and grease at the source, AirIQ technology reduces the accumulation of residues on walls, cabinets and the chimney itself, making cleaning simpler and less frequent.

• Quiet Yet Powerful

  Despite its intelligent suction and powerful performance, AirIQ-equipped chimneys operate quietly, typically as low as 42 dB (measured at the lowest speed setting). This way, you can cook comfortably without loud motor noise.

AirIQ vs. Traditional Chimneys

Traditional kitchen chimneys have long been effective at removing smoke, steam and grease from your cooking space. They allow you to control suction manually and come in a variety of designs to suit different kitchens. Crompton’s AirIQ-equipped chimneys, on the other hand, take this functionality a step further by adding adaptive features. Here’s how these built-in appliances compare:

Maintenance Tips to Maximise AirIQ Performance

To ensure your smart kitchen chimney continues to deliver healthier air and efficient operation, here are some practical tips:

• Clean the Oil Collector Tray Regularly

  The chimney captures grease and oil in a tray. Empty and clean it frequently to prevent overflow and maintain optimal suction.

• Wipe the Outer Surfaces

  Keep the chimney’s exterior clean using a soft and damp cloth. This prevents grease buildup and preserves its sleek look.

• Check the Sensor Area

  Gently wipe the AirIQ sensor with a dry, soft cloth if needed. Keeping the sensor clean ensures accurate air quality readings.

• Schedule Professional Service

  Periodic professional servicing helps maintain motor efficiency and ensures all internal parts of your chimney are in good working condition.

Consistent maintenance not only improves AirIQ performance but also extends the life of your kitchen appliance, keeping your kitchen cleaner and your cooking environment healthier.

Final Note

A kitchen chimney does more than just remove smoke and grease; it creates a clean and comfortable cooking environment for you and your family. With AirIQ technology, smart chimneys now intelligently monitor air quality, adjust suction automatically and help maintain healthier air without extra effort.
