Abstract: A hood assembly includes a hood body having an inner surface and an outer surface. The hood body extends between an inlet end and an exhaust end, and the hood body defining a hood cavity between the inlet end and said exhaust end. Airflow is channeled into the hood cavity through the inlet end and is configured to be exhausted into an exhaust duct through the exhaust end. A transition element extends from the exhaust end. The transition element has an inner surface and an outer surface, and the transition element includes a mounting portion configured to be coupled to the exhaust duct. The outer surface of the transition element is configured to engage an outer surface of the exhaust duct when the mounting portion is coupled to the exhaust duct.
