The main differences between home and commercial ventilators

1. Scope of application and scenarios

‌Applicable environment‌

Household ventilators are mostly used in small-area environments such as home kitchens, bathrooms, and small offices, focusing on local ventilation and daily use needs

Commercial ventilators are suitable for large spaces such as factories, shopping malls, and office buildings, which need to quickly deal with air quality problems caused by 

high-concentration oil smoke, high-temperature hot air, or dense flow of people

‌Coverage area‌

Household models usually cover an area of tens to hundreds of square meters4, while commercial models may need to cover thousands to tens of thousands of square meters

2. Differences in performance parameters

‌Air volume and power‌

Commercial ventilators Larger air volume (industrial exhaust fans can reach a diameter of more than 1 meter, and the minimum air volume requirement is 480-480 cm), higher 

motor power and speed to meet the needs of efficient exhaust

Household equipment is mainly compact in size of about 300-300 cm, with smaller air volume and power, and focuses on low-noise operation

‌Operation stability‌

Commercial equipment needs to support long-term continuous operation (such as 24-hour operation), and has higher requirements for stability and durability

Household equipment is mostly used intermittently, and has lower requirements for continuous load capacity

3. Structure and design features

‌Material and structure‌

Commercial The shell of the model is more solid, using high temperature and corrosion resistant materials (such as industrial-grade heating wire or metal structure), and it is heavier.

Home models focus on lightness and appearance to adapt to the home environment.

Installation complexity

Commercial equipment often requires customized piping systems, involving ceiling concealment or multi-zone linkage design, and installation requires professional personnel.

Home equipment is mostly installed in a single unit (such as wall-mounted, window-mounted), which is simpler to operate.

4. Use and maintenance costs

Initial investment

Commercial equipment has high procurement costs (such as large central air-conditioning systems cost hundreds of thousands of yuan), but has a longer lifespan and is affordable 

for home equipment. , usually in the thousands of yuan level

‌Maintenance requirements‌

Commercial models require regular professional maintenance (such as high cleaning frequency, fire safety inspection, etc.), and the maintenance cost is relatively high

Home equipment is simple to maintain, mainly daily wiping

5. Additional functions and standards

‌Noise control‌

Although commercial equipment has high power, it may meet the low noise requirements of public places through professional noise reduction design

Home equipment emphasizes quiet performance (such as less than 45 decibels)

‌Energy efficiency standards‌

Commercial equipment needs to take into account energy efficiency under high load (such as meeting the national first-level energy efficiency), while home equipment focuses on daily energy saving
