Abstract
This project report presents the design and fabrication of a domestic heat extractor using locally sourced materials. The aim is to develop a cost – effective and energy – efficient device capable of removing excess heat from domestic cooking areas, thereby improving thermal comfort and safety in homes, particularly in developing regions where ventilation and cooling systems are often inadequate. The project involves a detailed study of heat transfer principles, material selection and fabrication processes tailored to locally available resources. Components such as the extraction fan, heat duct, aluminum casing and power source were designed and assembled using affordable and easily obtainable materials. Performance evaluation showed that the fabricated heat extractor effectively reduced heat concentration in enclosed kitchen spaces, improving air circulation and thermal comfort. The outcome demonstrates that domestic engineering innovations can be achieved sustainably using local resources, contributing to environmental protection, cost reduction and industrial development.
