Crompton Unveils India’s First Smart Chimney with AirIQ

Sylvaire & AQNova Series automatically detect and manage air quality, elevating everyday cooking into a safer, cleaner experience

Cooking at home is central to Indian culture — yet the simple act of frying or tempering can send indoor air quality soaring to hazardous levels, often above AQI 900. Addressing this invisible threat, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd. has launched India’s first smart kitchen chimney range powered by real-time AirIQ Technology: the Sylvaire and AQNova series.

Rooted in insights from more than 1,000+ households, the new range reflects Crompton’s deep focus on solving real consumer needs. The Sylvaire and AQNova chimneys continuously monitor kitchen air and automatically adjust suction to keep pollution in check — offering families a healthier cooking experience without the hassle of manual controls.

At the core is Crompton’s patented AQSync BLDC Motor, which works seamlessly with AirIQ sensors to optimize energy while delivering quiet, powerful performance. Whether deep-frying or everyday sautéing, the system reacts instantly to air quality changes, helping maintain a cleaner environment for lungs, skin, and hair.

Key Features

• Real-time AirIQ Tech: Automatically senses AQI, adjusts suction, and displays live digital updates.
• AQSync BLDC Motor: Smart algorithm manages speed based on pollution levels — no manual effort needed.
• Powerful Yet Silent: Up to 2900 CMH suction in Sylvaire; ultra-quiet operation at 39–40 dB.
• Smart On: Detects temperature changes and switches on automatically.
• Intelli Auto Clean: Self-cleans after every 30 hours of use, reducing maintenance.

Speaking at the launch, Aarushi Agarwal, Head – Large Kitchen Appliances and New Businesses, highlighted the consumer need driving this innovation:

“Cooking fills homes with love, but it can fill kitchens with pollutants that push AQI beyond 1000. With the Sylvaire and AQNova series, powered by AirIQ, we are tackling this challenge head-on. These chimneys intelligently monitor and adjust suction, ensuring cleaner kitchens and healthier homes.”

The products are now available across leading retail and e-commerce channels in India — just in time for the festive cooking season.
