The Short Circuit (SC) hood model is a self-compensating canopy style hood. This hood model introduces make-up air directly into the canopy through an internal, full-length, self-balancing slot. The Short Circuit design of the hood allows most of the make-up air to be re-exhausted. This design boasts superior efficiency compared to other models by removing minimal amounts of conditioned air from the kitchen space. It also reduces the amount of make-up air needed in colder climates and may eliminate the need for tempered make-up air altogether. The SC hood model is recommended for light to medium cooking loads.
