EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
This manual covers three of the basic types of systems offered by Avtec:
MODULAR GREASE EXTRACTORS SERIES
Extractor ventilators are listed by UL and are built in accordance of NFPA-96 for
use with UL listed extinguishing systems for duct hood protection. These models
utilize high velocity removable grease extractors. The canopy contains a hidden
grease trough and removable cup. Surface, plenum and duct collar extinguishing
systems may be factory supplied.
ULTRAVIOLET (UV) SERIES
The EcoArch Energy Efficient Ventilation
UVc is a door assembly integrally
installed in the exhaust plenum of an
EcoArch canopy, consisting of UVc
filtration system designed for use in
the ventilation control of commercial
cooking operations of listed hood
systems. A depiction of this unit is
indicated at left.
The UVc filtration system consists of a Heraus manufactured UVc and Ozone
producing lamp used to reduce exhaust odors and grease deposit emissions
before they enter the exhaust duct system. The UVc light waves and ozone
producing lamp breaks the grease particles into smaller molecules which allow
an Ozone reaction to occur chemically. Like combustion, high temperature
separates the O-atoms in atmospheric Oxygen which then bonds to the grease
molecule causing oxidation. Similarly, in UVc technology, the extra O-atom in the
Ozone splits from the ozone molecule and attaches itself to grease molecule
causing oxidation but without the high temperature, which results in the
reduction of duct cleaning, cleaning costs and risks of potential grease fires.
The EcoArch Energy Efficient Ventilation UVc is manufactured with Type 201
Stainless Steel; but, alternatively can be constructed using 200, 300 and 400
series stainless steel without adversely affecting the UVc filtration system
capabilities.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Avtec hoods are provided with adjustable hanging brackets designed to
receive 1/2” threaded rod with a 1/2” nut and washer. Supporting rods must
be connected to all factory supplied/installed brackets. Recommended hanging
height is 6’-6” above finished floor for canopies.
ALL AVTEC VENTILATION SYSTEMS MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH NFPA-96, REMOVAL OF SMOKE AND GREASE-LADEN VAPORS FROM
COMMERCIAL COOKING EQUIPMENT.
1. Check all local codes prior to installation. Special requirements may be
necessary depending upon building material construction.
2. Move crated hood to location of installation and very carefully uncrate hood.
3. Raise hood to proper hanging height.
4. Suspend hood from adequate roof supports using 1/2” threaded rods with
nuts and washers (See Fig. 1).
5. Level hood left to right and front to back.
6. Brackets are provided for hoods which are to be installed end to end or back
to back.
Bolt brackets together using 3/8” bolt through holes provided (See Fig. 2).
7. Install C channel where the ends of the hood meet and install T moldings on
front face of hoods where they join. High temperature silicone can be used
to install channel and T moldings (See Fig. 3).
