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.
