Q. Which is better? Baffle Filter or Filterless Chimney?
A. For Standard Curved Glass or T-Shaped Chimneys, Baffle Filter is always better than Filterless Chimneys.
For any Chimney where the filter is in a horizontal position (from 0°-45° approx), Baffle Filter Chimneys are always better than Filterless Chimneys. The job of the filter is to block the heavy oil particles from entering the chimney and getting stuck inside it. This function is performed most efficiently by Baffle Filters. The oil gets trapped between the double layers (curved panels) of the filter. Now if the filter is completely horizontal or at 0°, as soon as the filter gets filled, oil will drip on the kitchen counter. For this reason, Uplift has specially designed 11° Inclined Baffle Filters so that the angle makes the trapped oils can directly flow into the oil container at the backside of the chimney. This is better than Filterless (Net type Filters) Chimneys because they don't have any option to trap the oil as they don't have 2 layers. This makes the oil drip on the kitchen counter even if the filter is at an angle. But in case of a Vertical Chimney ( filters at angles approx 75°-90°), Filterless are a good option. The oil can directly drip into the oil container.
To solve this issue with standard Filterless Chimneys, Uplift has made several engineering changes to its Filterless Chimneys so that the oil now drips into an oil tray inside the chimney and flows into the oil collector at an angle. Filterless Chimneys are easier to wipe and clean and don't require much maintenance.
Q. What is Auto Clean Chimney? Why is Auto Clean Chimney better?
