“GX2-ND” SERIES PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The Gaylord “GX2-ND” Series Non Water-Wash Ventilator
offers simplicity, economy and performance that no other
ventilator can offer. The unique “extractor insert” gives a
grease extraction efficiency far superior to that of a typical
baffle filter. The Gaylord “GX2-ND” Series Ventilators are UL
Listed and meet all the requirements of NFPA #96 and the
International Mechanical Code.

EXHAUST FAN OPERATION

The exhaust fan is controlled by the Gaylord C-150 “Exhaust
Fan Start/Stop Switch”, an optional switch, or a standard wall
switch. The switch is usually located on a wall near the
ventilator. When the switch is flipped up to the on position,
the exhaust fan will come on.

GREASE EXTRACTION

The Gaylord “GX2-ND” Series Ventilator extracts 90% of the
grease, dust, and lint particles from the airstream passing
through it. Grease extraction is accomplished by unique,
removable stainless steel “extractor inserts” which incorpo­rate a series of horizontal baffles. As the air moves through
the extractor at high speed, it is forced to make a series of
turns around these baffles, forcing the heavier-than-air par­ticles of grease, dust, and lint to be thrown out of the
airstream by centrifugal force. The sticky grease collects in
the extractor and the liquified grease drains down into the
main grease gutter which slopes to the grease cup. Note:
Some ventilators may be equipped with optional “Custom
Air” baffles (shown dotted) to reduce the exhaust volume
over specific light duty cooking appliances. The extractor
inserts come in two sizes15½" (5.6 lbs.) and 19½" (6.75 lbs.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never operate ventilator without ex-
tractor inserts in place.

CLEANING

At the end of the cooking day the exhaust fan is turned off by
the “Exhaust Fan Start/ Stop Switch.” After the fan has been
turned off, the extractor inserts are removed and can be
washed either in a dishwasher or soaked and rinsed off. The
grease cup is also removed and emptied at this time. To ease
in the removal of the extractor inserts, an “Extractor Removal
Tool” is available which eliminates the need for kitchen
personnel to climb up on the cooking equipment, or up a
ladder.

FIRE PROTECTION

NFPA #96 requires the use of surface, duct and plenum
protection on all hoods. It is these systems that are the first
line of defense against equipment fires.

Surface, duct collar and plenum fire protection utilizing The
Gaylord Quencher System, or other fire protection systems
currently on the market, can be factory installed as an option.
