In a world obsessed with the latest technological trends, innovation must be driven by design and balanced with a deep understanding of the way consumers live and breathe.
These days it’s no longer about innovating for innovation’s sake, but about completely rethinking the product for the market and environment it is in.
That is why Fisher & Paykel Technologies, in partnership with Haier Group, has reimagined the rangehood for the Casarte range in China which protects the home from the smoke and oil created in the Chinese style of cooking – an idea born from heavily researched consumer insights from the market itself.
The main purpose of the range hood is to extract all the smoke, grease, and bad smells generated during cooking – these pollutants can be harmful to the home over time. However, if the extraction rate is too high, the rangehood sucks out all the good air in the home as well as the smoky greasy air.
The research team found that typical extraction rates in China installations, especially apartment buildings, tended to be quite poor.
These consumer insights led to SmartAir – a unique technology with precise control over the extraction rate of the range hood. It understands the aerodynamic effect of hot smoke and fumes, meaning the perfect extraction rate is achieved, no matter where or how the range hood is installed.
Chief Engineer at Fisher & Paykel Technologies, Rolf Koole, said together with Haier they’ve been able to recognize the high value and quality of their design approach and turn this into something truly revolutionary.
“We undertook significant research into the effects of cooking in the home in China – this research led our world-class engineering team to focus on ways to solve the extraction problem that all range hoods share rather than just looking at additional features.”
SmartAir was launched on 24 April 2020 by F&P TECH in Qingdao, China, where millions of viewers tuned in to see the revolutionary technology on the main stage.
