INTRODUCTION
ir quality is a major concern in many large cities world
A
wide, particularly in America. As a result, many commercial kitchens will require pollution control equipment in their
exhaust systems to comply with the increasing demands of
environmental control agencies. In addition, pollution control
equipment is being used for kitchens in high-rise buildings allowing the exhaust to discharge out the side of the structure
which saves the cost of running the duct up many floors to the
roof.
Smoke pollution control, in kitchen exhaust systems, has typically been accomplished by any one of the following methods:
gas fired incinerators, scrubbers, filtration units or electrostatic
precipitators (C-ESP). Incinerators and afterburners literally burn
the pollutants and, while effective, can be very costly and hazardous to operate. Scrubbers consist of a water bath and extraction baffles to remove the pollutants and, though quite effective on grease removal, they typically require the addition of
high efficiency filters to abate smoke below control agencies’
standards. Filtration units use a series of impingement filters to
remove the pollutants and if done properly can be quite effective
on both smoke and grease.
Captive-Aire offers two types of pollution control equipment:
the C-TPF Series (triple pass filter) detailed in this manual
and the C-ESP Series (electrostatic precipitator) detailed in
the C-ESP Series brochure. When initial cost is a greater
concern, the C-TPF unit is a sound alternative.
The C-TPF unit is available in several configurations, as illustrated on the following pages, ranging in capacity from
1000 to 32,000 CFM (472 to 15,102 L/s). Most models can
include an exhaust fan and odor abatement equipment as
an option.
Basic Facts About Smoke
Smoke particles are extremely small and not visible to the
human eye unless thousands of them are grouped together
to form what we see as smoke. Individual particles are measured in units called microns and one micron equals 1/25,400
of an inch (1/64,516 of a cm).
Smoke generated by commercial cooking equipment has a
particulate size of between 0.3 and 0.8 microns and it is
these very small particles that smoke abatement equipment
must remove from the airstream. The amount of smoke being discharged from a kitchen exhaust duct is measured in
terms of its density, referred to as opacity - the degree to
which emissions block light. A 100% opacity level would be
solid black and 0% would be perfectly clear. Control agencies that have adopted smoke pollution ordinances are requiring an opacity level of no more than 20%, which is a very
light blue smoke.
Typically, heavy smoke producing cooking such as charbroiling, creates an opacity level of 60% to 70%. Opacity
readings are taken by the human eye by viewing the smoke
being discharged and then assigning a percentage of opacity to what is seen. Though this method is quite subjective,
it is the method practiced by control agency inspectors who
are trained and certified in determining opacity percentages.
Other more technical methods of determining opacity or par-
ticulate density are achieved through the use of opacity meters
and cascade impactors. This level of analysis is usually referred to as source testing. Control agencies occasionally
require this type of analysis and if so, the testing is conducted by state certified contractors which can be quite costly
and time-consuming. The efficiency of a C-TPF is based on
how well it reduces the opacity level of a given airstream.The
Captive-Aire unit will reduce the opacity level below 20%,
thereby meeting the requirements of environmental control
agencies.
Basic Facts About Odor
Cooking odors (molecules) generated by the combustion of
animal and vegetable matter result in an extremely complex
mixture of reactive organic gases (ROG’s). A small percentage of
these odors may be absorbed by the grease particles but the
vast majority exist separately in the airstream. The ROG molecules are much too small to be removed by any type of filter and
therefore, other methods must be used. There are several methods with which to manage the odor. One method is to use a
media bed. The two most popular types of media bed are activated charcoal, which absorbs and retains the odor molecules,
and the use of an odor-oxidant media (potassium permanganate) which oxidizes the molecules to solids and then retains them.
The other method involves the use of a liquid delivered with a finely
atomized spray. This spray performs a similar function to potassium permanganate in that it adsorbs or chemically neutralizes
odors. This process has the benefit of the end user being able to
adjust the amount of spray and thus the effectiveness and cost of
the odor control.
The life of the media bed type of odor control is dependent
upon several factors such as how much media is used, type
of odor, amount of odor molecules, grease loading and air
temperature. Typically, any of the above mentioned types of
media can remove 85% - 90% of the molecules. Determining
the efficiency of odor control can be very subjective, as testing
is usually conducted by the human nose. More scientific testing is available through ROG analysis, but this involves considerable costs.
Grease Removal - The Important First Step
Grease particles are also measured in terms of microns and
grease generated by commercial cooking equipment has a
particulate size of 10 microns and up. Pollution control equipment is not limited to removing smoke particles, but will also
remove a majority of the grease particles remaining in the
airstream. Therefore, the grease extraction efficiency of the
exhaust hood plays an important role in the operation and
performance of pollution control equipment.
Removal of grease particles before they reach smoke and
odor control equipment will significantly increase the smoke
abatement efficiency and the life of the odor abatement media. It is highly recommended that a Captive-Aire Ventilator be
used with the C-TPF unit as it has a grease extraction efficiency of 95%. Other high efficiency exhaust hoods and standard filter type hoods may be used with the unit. Contact Captive-Aire Systems for details.

INSTALLA TION CODES
This unit requires external plumbing and electrical connections
to be made in the field. It is recommended that the Authority
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) be consulted regarding local codes
and installation procedures. Captive-Aire Systems is not responsible for obtaining necessary approvals and permits which
may be required for installation, nor is it responsible for verifying
that the unit has been installed in accordance with national,
state, and local codes. In the absence of locally adopted codes
use the latest editions of the national electrical code and the
uniform mechanical code. Connections of the exhaust duct to
the inlet and outlet of the C-TPF unit must be fully welded to
comply with NFP A-96.
INSTALLA TION PRECAUTIONS
1. The services of qualified contractors are essential for safe
and proper installation of this equipment.
2. The air volumes and external static pressures that are
listed on the unit are for the middle of the operating range of
the filters. The initial air volume should be at least 10% higher
than the listed CFM. As the filters load up the air volume will
drop. This is inherent to this type of unit. If the unit is set up
at or below the design CFM, as the filters load up, the kitchen
hood may experience smoke loss problems. Please consult
the factory if you have questions.
3. The unit is designed for installation on a level surface.
4. When installed in an enclosed space a fire rated enclosure may be required for the unit and associated duct work.
Consult the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
5. Consult the Authority Having Jurisdiction regarding requirements covering the point of termination of the exhaust
outlet of this unit. Minimum distances must usually be
maintained between the exhaust outlet and any outside air
intakes and/or adjacent structures or property lines.
6. Do not apply power to the unit until all electrical connections have been made and a pre-start-up preliminary inspection has been completed.
7. Allow a minimum of 36 inches clearance in front of the
filter access door and electrical compartment door for service and routine maintenance.
SHORT TERM STORAGE
Units that include media bed odor control are provided with
KOR48/carbon media which is shipped separate from the
unit. KOR48/carbon media must be stored in a dry place
with less than 95% relative humidity .
LONG TERM STORAGE (OVER ONE MONTH)
If the unit is equipped with an exhaust fan it must be relubricated as soon as it arrives. T o prevent corrosion all bearings should receive grease and be rotated the first of every
month. Turn the wheel by hand while greasing bearings. A
clean 1/16" bead of grease must appear on each side of each
bearing. Refer to specific bearing lubricating instructions on
the fan. Also, refer to bearing lubricating instructions found in
the exhaust fan section of this manual.
Bearings which are to be stored or idle for an extended period of time should be wrapped in a neutral grease-proof paper, foil, or plastic film. Compounds can be ecommended by
the bearing manufacturer to provide protection for several
months to several years.
After long-term storage, grease should be purged from the

C-TPF units that include media bed odor control have an
“SO” suffix for single pass and “DO” suffix for double pass
odor control in the model number. Refer to the nameplate on
the unit (see page 24 for sample). As shown in the illustration
below, the odor control section consists of two major components: Odor control media and 30% after filters.
Odor Control Media (bed type)
The odor control media furnished with your C-TPF unit is
either a product trade named KOR48/Carbon Blend manufactured by Cameron/Great Lakes, Inc. of Portland, Oregon.
KOR48/Carbon Blend is made from a unique 50% aluminosilicate compound impregnated with 6% potassium permanganate and 50% activated carbon or 100% activated carbon.
The granules are approximately .10 inch in diameter and are
poured into metal modules (see page 19) which slide into racks
in the odor control section of the unit. As the air is drawn
through the modules, the KOR48 the media oxidizes the
lighter odor molecules and chemically changes them into
harmless solids which remain in the media and the carbon
absorbs the heavier odor molecules. This combination provides very effective odor control. The 100% carbon is lower
cost alternative that must have fire suppression system installed to protect it as it is flammable. This material absorbs
odor and will gradually decrease in effectiveness until it starts
to release the odors it has absorbed.
The life of the odor control media is dependent upon several factors such as the type of odor, amount of odor molecules, grease loading and air temperature. KOR48 media
has a flat efficiency curve - meaning that the efficiency, or
effectiveness, stays constant until the media has expended
and then the efficiency drops off rapidly . The carbon portion
of the media’s efficiency drops continually during its life. Thus
a regular schedule of change out needs to be established
and followed.
Filters
Smoke control filters in the odor control section of the system requires the replacement prior to them becoming loaded.
It is recommended that the filters be inspected in accordance
with the “Odor Control Media Inspection Frequency Chart”
on this page, and replaced if necessary . The following chart
provides data for ordering filters.
Service and Maintenance
The KOR48/ carbon media is deep purple in color when new,
turning to a dark brown during use and light tan when expended. Carbon media is black at the time of delivery. It is
recommended that both medias be checked in accordance
with the table below .
The C-TPF unit incorporates an “Odor Control Media Monitoring Tube” to facilitate inspection (refer to page 19 ). Using
an open end wrench, turn the tube nut counter clockwise
and remove the monitoring tube assembly. If the KOR48/
Carbon media is dark brown, break a granule open and if the
inside is light tan there is very little life left and it should be
replaced. If the outside of the granules are light tan the media is completely expended and must be replaced. If you are
unable to determine the status send a small sample, one
teaspoon, to Cameron Great Lakes noting the date of installation. They will conduct a life test and advise the results by
fax or phone within 2 days of receipt. For further details contact Cameron Great Lakes .

Replacing the Media
There are two methods of replacing the media, the “Advancing Program” or Site Refill.
Advancing Program - This is a program offered by
Cameron/Great Lakes, Inc. where they will ship recycled
pre-filled modules in exchange for used modules. The prefilled modules are shipped two to a box, box size 25" x 25"
x 13", which weigh approximately 90 lbs. The boxes are
palletized, 36 to a pallet, and are shrink wrapped. Three
primary advantages of the “Advancing Program” are: 1) virtually no requirement for storage except for the short period
of time needed to switch the new modules for the expended
ones 2) minimizes unit down time and 3) avoids filling on
site.
T o particip ate in the “Advancing Program” proceed as follows:
1. Contact the local Cameron/Great Lakes distributor and
order the number of modules required.
2. Upon receipt, remove the depleted modules and replace
with the new modules.
3. Empty the media from the depleted modules into containers for disposal.
4. Pack the empty used modules into the boxes the new
ones came in and ship back to the distributor.
5. Fill the media monitoring tube with new media and mark
the date on the monitoring tube label.
Site Refill - Site refill involves the purchase and storage of
new media, emptying and refilling the modules and disposing of the spent media. New media may be purchased
from your local Cameron Great Lakes distributor. For the
name and phone number of the local distributor call Cameron/
Great Lakes.
Step 3. Place the filling jig over opening.
Step 4. Pour the media into the module.
Step 5. To eliminate voids, shake or vibrate the module to
ensure that the media settles.
Step 6. Continue adding media until module is full.
Caution: Do not overfill as it may cause the sides
to bulge.
Step 7. Replace cover plate and
install securing screw .
Step 8. Optional - some dusting
may occur on initial start
up of the unit. To minimize this, vacuum or
blow out the modules.
New media comes in standard five gallon buckets which weigh
40 lbs each. One bucket will refill approximately 1.33 modules. It is recommended that new media is purchased no
more than 2 weeks in advance of its use. The buckets should
be protected against physical damage as KOR48/carbon will
begin to oxidize any odor molecule when exposed to atmosphere. The buckets should be stored in a cool dry area.
Removing the Modules
Caution - each module weighs approximately 30 lbs. and
may be awkward to handle particularly in the upper racks.
It is highly recommended that a heavy duty steel wheeled
ladder be used when removing the upper modules.
Caution - Exhaust fan must be off before opening the odor
control media access door.
Refilling the modules is a relatively simple task not requiring
any special tools. Follow steps 1-11:
Step 1. Set the module on end so the securing screw is
on top.
Step 2. Remove the securing screw and slide the cover
plate off.
Step 9. Slide the modules back into the rack be-
ing cautious that the airflow label is matching the
airflow of the unit.
Step 10. Close the odor control media access door .
Step 1 1.Pour new media into the media monitoring tube
and re-install. Record the date on the label.

ODOR CONTROL SECTION – CHEMICAL SPRAY TYPE
The Spray Odor Unit operates on spray-on and spray-off timed
cycles while the C-TPF unit is in the “Fan On” mode.
The Spray Odor Control includes two (2) timers, one (1) for
the “Cycle Timer” (this is the spray ”OFF” timer) and one (1)
for the “Spray Timer” (this is the spray “ON” timer). Both
timers are calibrated and can be set between 5 and 600
seconds. The factory/setting is always 15 seconds “ON” and
15 seconds “OFF”.
CYCLE TIMER
To set the “Off” period, turn the dial to the desired off time
interval.
SPRA Y TIMER
To set the “On” period, turn the dial to the desired on time
interval.
AIR PRESSURE
Factory set to 20 PSIG
Electrical Controls
To adjust the spray odor cycle and timers, open the Spray
Odor Cabinet, and remove the screwed-in-place timer control cover plate. Adjust as necessary for satisfactory odor
control.
CAUTION: Always de-energize the C-TPF before opening the Electrical and Timer Control Panel inside the
Odor Spray Cabinet.
SPRA Y ODOR CHEMICAL
In order for the spray odor system to work correctly the system must be supplied with a chemical solution. This solution in conjunction with the delivery nozzle system that finely
atomizes the spray is what makes the system work. We
recommend the use of FORMULA GS-710. This material
has been effective at removing between 80% and 90% of
the odors from the kitchen exhaust in many applications.
For the contact information of the nearest distributor of FOR-
To obtain the best performance from your nozzle, it may
become necessary to clean it periodically .
The nozzle may become clogged and cease spraying due
to factors such as dust, foreign particles accumulated in the
orifice, and/or leakage in the air or liquid section of the nozzle.
The following procedure should be done to maintain the
nozzle’s performance:
1. Check the air line, which is connected from the compressor unit to the compression fitting and threaded into
the air inlet side of the nozzle, for any leakage.
2. Check the liquid suction line, which is connected to the
liquid inlet side of the nozzle, and ensure that it is immersed in the odor control solution.
3. If it appears that the nozzle is only blowing air and does
not lift up the odor control solution out of the container ,
do the following:
Remove the cleanout plug from the nozzle body and, using
a very thin pin or wire, clean the hole in the fluid cap (orifice)
and replace the cleanout plug. Remove the foot valve from
the liquid container and inspect screen for clogging. Brush
clean if clogged.

IPRE-OPERA TIONAL MAINTENANCE
Before starting the exhaust fan perform the following pre-
operational maintenance:
1. Set screws & Belts:
a. Rotate fan impeller to check for shifting that may
have occured during shipment. If necessary, shift
wheel position and re-tighten.
b. Check belt and pulley alignment.
c.Check tightness of setscrews in blower wheel hub.
d. Check tightness of set screws in bearing locking
collar.
e. Check tightness of set screws in motor and fan
pulleys.
f.Check tightness of all frame bolts and base bolts.
g. Check tightness of bearing mounting bolts.
2. Belt tension. T ake up or relieve tension in belts so that
there is approximately ¾” to 1" deflection under 3 pounds
pressure based on 2½ to 3 foot centers on drive. Adjustment of belt tension is accomplished by use of adjustable
motor base.
INITIAL F AN LUBRICATION
T o prevent corrosion bearings should receive grease and be
rotated. Turn the wheel by hand while greasing bearings. A
clean 1/16" bead of grease must appear on each side of
each bearing. Refer to specific bearing lubricating instructions on the fan.
4. Motors generally used are of the sleeve bearing type
and require periodic oiling. A good grade of ASE No. 10
lubricating oil should be inserted into the oiler connections on each end of the motor about every two months.
Not more than a teaspoonful should be used; over-oiling
will result in oil drip.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Reduced Airflow:
a. Blower impellers operating in wrong direction.
b. Belt slippage or belts broken.
c.Overload, starter cutout.
2. Noise in Blower:
a. Bad bearings.
b. Loose tie rods or blades.
c.Blower wheels loose on shaft, wheels rubbing on
housing.
d. Drive pulley loose on shaft.
e. Foreign object located in blower wheel or blower
housing.
Necessary Action - Correct situation found immediately,
as continued operation can shorten life of component parts
and result in poor airflow and eventual general shut-down of
system until needed repair is made.
Bearings which are to be stored or idle for an extended period of time should be wrapped in a neutral grease-proof
paper , foil, or plastic film.
After long-term storage, grease should be purged from the
bearings and fresh grease injected prior to start-up.
INITIAL OPERA TION
After pre-operational checks, unit is ready for operation:
1. Start up blower . Check rot ation.
2. If blower impeller is turning in the wrong direction, reverse rotation per instructions furnished by motor manufacturer.
FAN PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Every six months conduct the following maintenance:
1. Check for condition and tension of belts. Replace
cracked, glazed or frayed belts. Re-check tension after
48 hours and re-tension if necessary . Do not over-tighten
belts or bearing damage may result. Belt should depress its width when pressed firmly inward at midway
point between the pulleys and belt should be tight enough
to prevent slippage. When replacing worn belt, replace
motor pulley if “shoulder” has a worn-in groove.
2. Check fan and motor bearings for possible binding, noise
or overheating. Lubricate fan in accordance with instructions on fan housing.

MAINTENANCE
Daily maintenance
The CFM-100 Filter Monitor Station should be checked to
see if there are dirty filters. If the indicator lights show a dirty
filter ( too high of a pressure drop across the filter) they should
be replaced. A schedule should be developed based on the
operation of this kitchen to replace the filters. See Filter
Replacement chart below.
Six Months
Remove the filters and inspect the unit for grease build up. If
needed the unit should be cleaned the to the same standards as the grease duct as described in NFP A 96.
Annually
The exhaust fan belts should be checked for wear and tension. If the belt is cracked, frayed, or other wise displaying
signs of damage it should be replaced. The fusible links, if
the unit has the optional fire dampers, need to be replaced
annually per NFP A 96. See Fire Damper across.
Filter Replacement
T o achieve maximum smoke removal it is necessary to have
clean filters. The indicator lights on the monitor panel will
indicate when the filter(s) need to be changed. If the filters
are not changed when the monitor indicates, a dirty filter and
a lower exhaust air flow rate is occurring at the ventilator.
This may result in lower grease extraction efficiency and
smoke loss at the ventilator.
The life span of the filters varies greatly based on the amount
and type of cooking. The chart below is a starting point and
is not to be considered as accurate for cost purposes. Your
results will vary .

Filter Replacement
T o replace the filters perform the following.
1. Shut off the fan
2. Open the filter access doors
3. Look at how the filters are installed to prevent air bypassing the filters.
4. Remove the clamps on the final filters
5. Remove all filters by sliding out along the lower filter rack
6. Insert the new filters by sliding in along the lower filter
rack. Seat properly along the filter bypass gasket. Replace all filters in this way . Lock the final filters in place
with the filter clamp.
Fire Damper
The C-TPF unit may be equipped with a fire damper on the
outlet side of the final filter. There are fusible links on the dampers that will sense a fire. Replace with a 280°F (138°C) link of
the same type if they break and the damper closes.
Fuse Link Replacement
1. Open the plenum access door.
2. Remove the defective link.
3. Replace with a new link by wrapping the link support
across the blades and securing at the clip on the other
side of the frame.
4. Replace the plenum access doors
5. Start the fan.

C - TPF STARTUP INSTRUCTIONS
Start up Procedure for RSCP-TPF
Check duct work for proper connection to unit. All incoming
duct work should be minimum 18 GA SS or 16 GA BI and
fully welded or joined per NFP A 96 requirement s
Check the fan section and remove shipping braces if supplied per the instructions on pages 22 and 23
If the unit was shipped in sections. Check for proper assembly of the unit on pages 14 and 15. All field joints must be
welded grease and water tight.
Check for proper and complete installation of all filters. If
some are missing locate them and install per the instructions on page 27.
If a media bed odor control system was provided make sure
that it was installed per the instructions on pages 18 and
19.
If a spray odor system was provided, locate the 5 gallon pail
of GS-710 provided in the spray odor control cabinet. Remove the lid and install the pick up tube and level sensor.
For field adjustments refer to pages 20 and 21.
Check for proper air flow at the kitchen hood. Make sure that
all access panels have been installed in the duct work and
all filters or cartridges are in place in the hood. Check for
proper air volume per hood manufacturers instructions. Minimum flow should be the design volume. However, flows of up
to 15% high are acceptable. The air flow will drop as the
filters become dirty . Starting high will assure smoke capture
even with filter loading.
Air volumes of 30 to 50% of design or a strong vibration may
indicate that the fan is rotating backwards. V erify Fan rotation. If air flow still low or excessive vibration check fan for
loose components, duct discharge may be blocked, or access panels open. Excessive vibration may be caused by
shipping braces still in place.
Once the proper air flow is set. The missing filter switch
needs to be set per the instructions under “Pressure Switch
Adjustments” Item 4 on page 27. Perform the Filter Removal T est to verify operation.
