Hyderabad, 30th October 2025 : Did you know? Cooking a simple paratha or giving your favorite dal a “tadka” can push kitchen AQI levels to a hazardous 900+, impacting your lungs, skin and hair? Recognizing this concern, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd., a trusted name in Indian home appliances, has launched India’s 1st Kitchen Chimney range powered by real-time AirIQ Technology – the Sylvaire and AQNova Series. Combining intelligent technology with deep consumer insights, these chimneys ensure safer, cleaner, and healthier cooking.

Through extensive engagement with over 1,000+ households across multiple centers, Crompton identified a common pain point and developed a new range to address it.

With AirIQ Technology, Crompton tackles indoor air quality challenges head-on. The intelligent system continuously monitors kitchen air in real time and automatically adjusts the chimney’s suction to maintain a clean and healthy environment. Whether frying festive treats or preparing everyday meals, it ensures every cooking moment remains safe, comfortable and stress-free.

At the heart of the Sylvaire and AQNova chimneys lies Crompton’s patented AQSync Motor, which works in sync with AirIQ sensors to deliver intelligent suction management. It detects changes in air quality, optimizes energy use, and ensures quiet operation.

Key highlights of Crompton’s Smart Chimney Range:

·       AirIQ (Patent Applied For): Senses your kitchen’s Air Quality Index (AQI) in real time and automatically adjusts the suction to improve air quality, with live AQI updates displayed digitally.

·       AQSync BLDC Motor: A specially designed BLDC motor powered by Crompton’s indigenously developed smart algorithm that automatically modulates speed and suction based on the kitchen’s air quality. As it intelligently adjusts itself to the measured AQI, consumers no longer need to worry about changing the suction manually and can simply focus on cooking and enjoying a cleaner, more comfortable experience.

·       Superior Suction & Low Noise: The Sylvaire Series delivers powerful suction of up to 2900 CMH while maintaining low noise levels of just 39–40 dB. This ensures consumers can enjoy a strong yet silent performance, allowing for a peaceful and pleasant cooking experience.

·       Smart On: Advanced sensors detect temperature changes as you start cooking and switch the chimney on automatically.

·       Intelli Auto Clean: Self-cleans every 30 hours of operation, ensuring hassle-free maintenance and long-lasting performance without manual cleaning.
