average  speed  by  filters  adding  the  3  speed  values 
then divided by 3. 
 

 

Then, multiply the average speed value by an effective 
area factor according to the filters size (refer to table 
below).

For  Imperial  calculations,  use  air  flow  speed  units  in 
feet  per  minute  and  use  the  effective  area  in  square 
foots (SQ.FT) to get an air flow in cubic foot per minute 
(CFM). 
For  Metric  calculations,  use  air  slow  speed  units  in 
meters per hour and use the effective area in square 
meters  (SQ.M)  to  get  an  air  flow  in  cubic  meter  per 
hour.  To convert a cubic meter per hour air flow into 
liters per seconds, multiply the value by 0.278. 

Air flow adjustment  

If an exhaust hood air flow is too high or too low, adjust 
the amount of rotation per minute of the wheel on the 
exhaust fan. 

 

Pulleys and belt adjustment; 

 

Manual  dimmer  adjustment  with  provided 
screw ; 

 

Adjustment  via  inverter  (variable  frequency 
drive) of the maximum frequency operation. 

Some  exhaust  hood  model  may  be  equipped  with  a 
manual damper located under the exhaust hood collar.  
The  air  flow  will  adjust  according  the  opening.    The 
manual damper is used to facilitate balancing of many 
exhaust hoods on the same exhaust fan. 
The Geo-Vary grease extractor can be used the same 
way to facilitate the balancing of many exhaust hoods 
on  the  same  exhaust  fan.    The  air  flow  will  adjust 
according  to  the  opening  of  the  Geo-Vary  grease 
extractor.    If  modifications  are  to  be  made  to  the 
adjustment  of  the  Geo-Vary  filters  according  to  new 
balancing  requirements,  contact  Cadexair  to  receive 
new labels according the required adjustment. 

Maintenance  

Stainless Steel  

Stainless steel is very resistant to corrosion but it is not 
foolproof.  It is necessary to clean frequently in order 
to preserve the surface integrity.  It is recommended to 
clean the metal when it is dirty and to not wait until a 
deep  cleaning  is  necessary  to  keep  the  original 
appearance. 
A  regular  cleaning  with  a  soap  or  soft  detergent 
followed  by  a  hot  water  rinse  usually  provides  good 
results.  Si the water used contain a high percentage 
of minerals, it is recommended to dry the surface with 
a soft cloth. 
Commercial  products  with  the  mention 

“suitable  for 

stainless  steel”  can  and  should  be  used.    Some 
commercial cleaning products containing phosphates, 
synthetic  detergents  and  alkali  can  be  used  to  clean 
severely  stained  or  tarnished  stainless  steel.    These 
products  ensure  a  cleaning  without  danger  to  the 
surface and are effective.  It is recommended to read 
carefully the manufacturer’s instructions before using 
a product. 

IMPORTANT 

Never  use  a  chlorine  based  cleaning 
product 

or 

by-product 

such 

as 

hydrochloric acid (bleach, Lysol, etc.) 

 

How to apply cleaning products 

Cleaning products are applied directly on the surface 
to clean or using a soft cloth or sponge.  In both cases, 
carefully rinse with clear hot water and wipe with a dry 
and soft cloth or let the surface dry. 
Always rub with the grain.
