APPLICATION

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

DESCRIPTION

These AM Series models are for low velocity wall-mounted canopy ventilators with inter- nal compensated supply air which are U.L. Listed under the category of “Exhaust Hood Without Exhaust Damper.” Units are available in custom depths depending on particu- lar cooking battery layout. All models include a full array of U.L. Classified baffle type grease removing filters and a grease collecting gutter sloped to a removable grease cup at each end.

OPERATION

When properly operated and maintained, the liquefied grease is drained off into a con- tainer for periodic removal and cleaning.

MAINTENANCE

At periodic intervals (such as the end of each cooking day) the filters are to be re- moved and cleaned. They may be washed in a dishwasher, hand washed or soaked and rinsed.

AIR SUPPLY GUIDELINES

Appropriately conditioned supply air must be mechanically delivered to the space to replace the balance of the exhausted air. Generally 50-60% is so delivered through the hood with the remaining 40-50% 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/ 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.
