M.A.R.V.E.L. Unique Design
Starting with the Halton extensive product line of commercial foodservice ventilation solutions,
M.A.R.V.E.L. adds the following four unique components:
IRIS™ infrared temperature sensors: Used to measure the rate of change of the cooking surface
temperature, the sensor acquires a “heat signature” of the equipment positioned below each sensor.
The thermopile-based device is placed in the ball socket fi xture in the Capture Jet
®
plenum. An air jet
exits the plenum around the sensor to protect the optic sensor from dirt and cooking debris. The sensor
can be easily moved and re-aligned as needed using the provided CE Laser Alignment Tool.
