Intelli-Hood® Controls Save Thousands in Energy Costs

Sustainable, Efficient and Proven

Intelli-Hood saves up to 50% of energy costs and is the only true variable speed control system that features both temperature and optic sensors. The system reduces fan speed during idle cooking periods by monitoring the levels of heat and smoke, saving fan energy and conditioned air.

Savings and Benefits

With over 6000 installations, Intelli-Hood makes commerical kitchen hoods smart through advanced algorithms for greater energy savings and remote access for monitoring and diagnostics. Customers can save $1,500 to $10,000 per facility with a payback of 1 to 3 years. One well-known Ivy League university experienced an annual savings of $146,396 for 11 kitchens.

Simple to Use

The cook/chef presses the light and fan switch on the keypad. That’s it! The hood lights then turn on and the fans go to a pre-set minimum speed of 50%. When the cooking appliances are turned on, the fan speed increases based on exhaust air temperature. During actual cooking, the speed increases to 100% until the smoke/vapor is removed.

Comfort and Convenience

Intelli-Hood also improves kitchen comfort, fire safety, and indoor air quality while dramatically reducing kitchen noise levels. The controls are easy to operate and can be installed on both new hoods and retrofitted on existing hoods. Customers also benefit from Melink’s National Network which provides timely, convenient and accurate service from local technicians who have completed Melink’s rigorous training program.
