These systems utilize a high velocity grease
extractor. This exclusive design extracts up to
95%* of airborne grease contaminants. An
1
integral water wash system cleans the inside of
the grease extraction chamber either by manual
activation of the Wash Start button or by a
programmable timer. The duration of the wash is
electrically controlled. The wash system is also
activated by an electrical thermostat or a manual
switch in the event of a fire condition. A surface
fire extinguishing system is required and may be
factory supplied.
Wet Chemical and Water Mist. Wet Chemical
Systems may be all or partially factory installed
[by the Fire System Manufacturer]; final hook up
and certification at job site is done by the Fire
System Manufacturer's local representative.
These systems must be periodially inspected,
and critical parts replaced. It is suggested that a
service contract be purchased from the local
representative. For further details refer to the
manufacturer's technical manual.
Auto Wash control panels are provided with these
systems. Wiring diagrams are provided with this
manual.
Installation shall be in accordance with NFPA 96.
D.Airflow Requirements
Minimum exhaust airflow requirements and
maximum make-up airflow requirements [where
air is introduced directly inside the canopy] are
shown on the chart below. These flow rates were
established under laboratory conditions. Greater
exhaust airflows and/or reduced make-up airflows
may be required for complete capture.
*=Manufacturer's test results not yet submitted to U.L. for capture tests.
E.Fire Extinguishing Systems
There are two basic types of ventilator fire
extinguishing systems in use today:
AVTEC manufactures and installs a water mist
fire extinguishing system, "MIST-A-FIRE", that
connects to the building fire sprinkler system
[must be "wet" type system]. Final connect of this
system must be done in the field by the sprinkler
contractor or authorized plumber. A
certification/inspection report is done by an
authorized AVTEC representative. Periodic
inspection is generally required, but replacement
of parts and periodic maintenance is virtually
eliminated. For further details, refer to the
AVTEC MIST-A-FIRE Installation and Operating
Technical Manual.
II. INSTALLING THE VENTILATOR
The ventilator is supplied with brackets to facilitate
the attachment of hanger rods to the vent. Hanger
rods should be attached to all brackets to ensure
proper support.
A.Ascertain that the ceiling/roof structure is strong
enough to support the weight of the hood and
support system. The approximate weight of the
hood is shown below:
45 lbs/linear ft. for hoods w/o AMU plenums.
55 lbs/linear ft. for hoods w/AMU plenums.
125 lbs for fire control cabinet.
B.Carefully uncrate the hood so as not to dent or
scratch the outer surface.
C.Position the hood on the floor in approximately
its final installed location.
D.Use 1/2" threaded rods to hang the hood. The
hanger rods should be approximately 1/2" closer
to the wall at the structural attachment location
than at the top of the hood. [see fig. #4] This
ensures that the hood is held tightly against the
wall.
Note! Do not remove
Support Brace until Ventilator
installation is complete. Upon completion of
installation, dispose of Support Brace and replace the
Acorn Nuts to their original locations.
2
H. Install bulbs in the light fixture[s].
I.Install the grease filters [AF] or modules [AX].
J.Install the grease receptacles [AF or AX]
NOTE: A minimum of a three inch [3"] insulated
fire barrier and air space must be maintained
between the capture area skin of the ventilator
and any combustible surface, including wall and
ceiling. AVTEC ventilators normally have a 3" air
space; insulation is added when specified.
Fig 4
E.The hood should be hung so that the bottom of the
hood is 6'-6" above the finished floor unless otherwise
specified. Carefully lift the hood into position being
certain to avoid scratching the finished surfaces.
Install 1/2" threaded rod from each bracket and the
structural support. Secure rods with heavy duty nuts.
[see fig. #5] Be sure that the hood is level.
Fig 5
Tower Interface Detail
Place trim collar on tower. Position tower under hood.
Fully tighten trim collar retainer hardware after tower
and hood are aligned properly. See fig. A, B, and C
(next page).
F.The entire exhaust duct system must be con-
tinuously welded. This includes the connection
to the duct collar and the roof curb. All welds
must be liquid tight.
NOTE: Welds must not impede operation of
damper.
III.CONTROL PANEL [if provided]
Control panels are provided with all auto wash type
ventilators [Models AW- ] and are optional with the
baffle filter type [AF-] and modular grease
extractor type [AX- ]. Control panels with Models
AF- and AX- do not have the auto wash plumbing
assembly compartments. Any control panel may
beprovidedwitha integralMIST-A-FIRE
