APPROVALS: Ventilator to be U.L. Listed, list- ed by NSF, and in accordance with all recom- mendations of NFPA 96. The ventilator must meet all applicable codes.

APPLICATION

Ceiling mounted canopy style ventilator for use over medium duty non-grease equipment suitable for ceiling heights less than 8’6” by recessing into false ceiling.

DESCRIPTION

These VCH Series models are for medium velocity ceiling-mounted non-grease canopy ventilators which are U.L. Listed under the category of “Exhaust Hood Without Exhaust Damper.” Units are available in custom depths depending on cooking battery layout.

OPERATION

When properly operated and maintained, the unit requires no draining operation.

MAINTENANCE

At periodic intervals (such as the end of each cooking day) interior surfaces are to be cleaned and the mesh filter (if provided) is to be removed and cleaned.

AIR SUPPLY GUIDELINES

Appropriately conditioned supply air must be mechanically delivered to the space to replace exhausted air. Generally 80% is so delivered with the remaining 20% flowing naturally from adjoining areas.

EXHAUST/SUPPLY FAN UNITS

Exhaust fan(s) and supply fan(s) are available. See fan section of catalog or web site for design information. Fans must be designed for Hood Depot air volumes and static pres- sure drop for the entire system and must be in compliance with local codes.

• Exhaust fan(s) should be properly sized and include UL762 listings
• Discharge ducts should be vertical when possible and located away from air intakes
• Supply fan(s) should be equipped with throw-away or cleanable type filters
• Exhaust and supply fans require a magnetic starter switch with 120 Volt holding coil and should be electrically interlocked for simultaneous operation
• Exhaust and supply fans should be operated through a listed kitchen hood control panel

FIRE PROTECTION

NFPA 96 and most other codes require a fire extinguishing system for protection of both the duct collar and plenum areas of ventilators and for the protection of cooking equip- ment such as fat fryers, griddles, ranges and broilers which may be source of ignition of grease. Check with local fire authorities for exact requirements.
