: ... and maybe this one, if you don't want anything that reminds of smoke. But "Absauganlage" is quite general and can be related to almost anything, so it is quite neutral to use.

Rauchabsaugung
I found this translation in the following data sheet. It is often used in context with soldering, where the german translation is then 'Lötrauchabsaugung'.

Dunstabzug
As smoke is not involved (Rauchabzug), this leaves Dunstabzug. You can translate the 'units' bit either as Systeme, Anlagen, or Einheiten.

Alternatively, you can simply use the neutral Abzugsanlage, -einheit, or -system, unless it is important to distinguish between fumes, smoke, dust, etc.

: In German, we would use this word primarily (not exclusively of course) for kitchens and restaurants.
