How an inline duct system pulls hot air out of a kitchen — and pushes fresh air back in.
The chimney only captures what rises straight above the hob. It throws air out of the room, but nothing puts fresh air back in — so the kitchen goes into negative pressure and pulls hot air in through every door gap. A bigger chimney makes the suction worse, not the room cooler.
An inline duct system fixes the actual problem. A powerful fan sits inside the duct, pulling hot air out of the whole kitchen through ceiling diffusers, while a matched fresh-air unit pushes filtered outdoor air back in. Air is replaced, not just removed — and the fan noise stays up in the duct.
Captures only what rises straight above the hob. The kitchen goes negative-pressure, hot air is pulled in from elsewhere in the house, heat and smell settle in the room, and a wall-mounted fan sits right at ear level.
Stale hot air is drawn from the whole room through ceiling diffusers; a matched fresh-air fan supplies filtered outdoor air back in. Balanced pressure, faster cooling, smell contained to the kitchen, and the fan noise stays up in the duct.
Sized by kitchen area. Two kits pair the exhaust fan with a matched fresh-air fan for a fully balanced system; two are exhaust-only.




The cheapest time to put ventilation in is before the false ceiling closes. Once the units and ceiling are finished, every duct route becomes a compromise.
A short, straight run to the outside wall performs far better than a long one with bends — and stays completely hidden.
Over the hob zone and the corners where hot air stalls — not wherever space is left over.
Floor area, ceiling height, duct length and hob load decide the model. We work it out from your drawing.

A chimney only removes air — nothing puts air back in. The kitchen drops into negative pressure and the replacement air gets dragged in through door gaps and windows: hot outdoor air in summer, warm air from the rest of your home. A higher-suction chimney makes that worse, not better.
No — they do different jobs. The chimney captures grease and smoke at the hob. The inline duct system handles the rest of the room: the heat, steam and smell that spread beyond the chimney’s reach, and the fresh air that has to come in to replace what goes out. Keep the chimney, add ventilation.
50–170 sq ft takes the AEE-150 exhaust-only kit (Rs. 11,170); 100–140 sq ft with fresh air takes AEE-150 + AFV 19 DP; 200–300 sq ft takes the AEE-200; 200–250 sq ft with fresh air takes AEE-200 + AFV 75 (Rs. 46,195). Duct length matters as much as floor area, so we confirm the model on a site visit. Installation is quoted separately.
Both existing and new modular kitchens — it is cheapest during a build, but retrofits are routine wherever there is a route to an outside wall, usually done in a day or two. We are an Astberg dealer for Purvanchal and Bihar, and supply and install in Lucknow, Varanasi and Prayagraj as well.
