INTRODUCTION
ir quality is becoming a major concern in America’s large
A
cities and 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 oors to the roof.
Pollution control in kitchen exhaust systems has typically been
accomplished by any one of the following methods - gas red
incinerators, scrubbers, ltration units or electrostatic precipitators. 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
bafes to remove the pollutants and though quite effective
on grease removal, they typically require the addition of high
efciency lters to abate smoke below control agencies’
standards. Filtration units use a series of impingement lters
to remove the pollutants and if done properly can be quite
effective on both smoke and grease.
The Gaylord pollution control unit, trademarked “ClearAir”TM,
can be manufactured with either electrostatic precipitation
(ESP) or Filtration (TPF). Gaylord Industries has been
manufacturing ESP’s specically designed for commercial
kitchen exhaust systems since the early 1970’s, longer
than any other manufacturer. However, when initial cost
is a greater concern the TPF unit is a sound alternative.
The ClearAirTM TPF unit is available in several congurations, 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 0.15 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 certied in determining
opacity percentages. Other more technical methods of
determining opacity or particulate 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
certied contractors which can be quite costly and timeconsuming. The efciency of an TPF is based on how
well it reduces the opacity level of a given airstream.The
Gaylord ClearAirTM 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 lter 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 three most popular
types of media bed are activated charcoal, which absorbs and
retains the odor molecules, the use of an odor-oxidant media
(potassium permanganate) which oxidizes the molecules
to solids and then retains them, and a blend of the two.
Another method involves the use of a liquid delivered with
a nely atomized spray. This spray performs a similar
function to potassium permanganate in that it adsorbs or
chemically neutralizes odors. This process has the benet
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 efciency of odor control can
be very subjective, as testing is usually conducted by the
human nose. More scientic 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 0.1 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 efciency 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 signicantly increase
the smoke abatement efciency and the life of the odor
abatement media.

An External Fire Condition is when a chemical re extinguishing system, such as an Ansul or Amerex system, discharges either in the PCU or in the ventilator. An External Fire Condition may occur if the building management
system or other building re system noties the Command Center of a re. When an External Fire Condition is
initiated the following occurs:
1. The exhaust fan stays on.
2. An audible alarm will come on.
3. The make-up air system (supply fan) will shut off if the system is interfaced with the Command Center.
4. A Fire signal is sent to the building re alarm or building management system if interfaced with the Command
Center.
5. The display panel will read as shown in Figure 22-1.
Note: The audible alarm may be canceled by pushing F4.

General Description
Smoke particles are removed from the airstream by the
smoke laden exhaust air passing through a series of three
high efciency lters. The rst set of lters are called PreFilters (PF), the second set are called Bag Filters (BF)
and the third are called Final Filters (FF). The lters are
installed in Racks and the number of lters in a Rack is determined by the amount of exhaust air (CFM) the PCU is
designed to handle. The model number of the PCU incorporates numbers to identify the quantity of lters in each
rack. Refer to Model Number Explanation on page 8.
The life of each of the three types of lters vary considerably depending upon the type of cooking equipment, the
type of food being cooked, the amount of smoke being
generated and the number of hours and days of operation.
Generally the greater amount of grease and smoke generated the fewer days of life the lters have. Table T-26-1
below shows an approximate number of lter changes per
year, for each type of lter, based on the duty of cooking.
This Table is a starting point and is not to be considered as
accurate for cost purposes. Your results will vary.
Table T-26-1
Filter Replacement
To replace any of the three types of lters, Pre-Filter, Bag
Filter, or Final Filter, proceed as follows:
1. Turn off exhaust fan.
2. Open Filter Access Door.
3. Remove the wing nuts and the Filter Clamp Panel.
4. Slide Filters out of the Racks.
5. Slide in the new lters making sure the arrow on the
end of the Pre-Filter or Bag Filter is facing in the direc tion of air ow.
Important Note: The Final Filter is installed with the
arrow on the lter facing towards the direction of air
ow.
6. Replace the Filter Clamp Panel and wing nuts.
7. Replace the Filter Access Door.
8. The exhaust fan can now be turned on.

Operation
To achieve maximum smoke removal it is necessary to
have clean lters. The lters are monitored by a series of
pressure switches mounted near each of the three lter
Racks. As the lters build up with grease and smoke particles the pressure switches react to the increased pressure and send a signal to the Command Center. If the
lters are clean within design parameters the display will
read NORMAL AIR FLOW. If any of the three types of
lters are dirty, the display will read either PRE-FILTERS
DIRTY – LOW AIR, BAG FILTERS DIRTY – LOW AIR,
OR FINAL FILTERS DIRTY – LOW AIR. If the lters are
not changed when the display indicates, the result will be
reduced grease extraction efciency and smoke loss at
the ventilator. If a lter is missing, the pressure switch(s)
will feel a low pressure and send a signal to the Command
Center, and the display will read MISSING FILTER.

ODOR CONTROL SECTION - MEDIA BED TYPE
Table T-27-2
General Description
ClearAir units that include media bed odor control have a
sufx in the model number of “SO” for single pass, “DO”
sufx for double pass and “TO” for triple pass odor control. Refer to the Nameplate on the unit. (see page 39 for
a sample Nameplate).
ODOR CONTROL MODULES
RACKS
FIGURE 27-1
The odor control media utilizes a blend of 50% potassium
permanganate and 50% activated carbon. The media
is housed in Odor Control Modules as shown in Figure
27-1. As the air is drawn through the Modules the potassium permanganate 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. The Odor Control Modules are mounted
into slide tracks for easy removal and replacement and to
prevent air bypass around the ends.
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 the exhaust air temperature. The media has a at efciency curve, meaning
that the efciency, or effectiveness, stays constant until
the media has expended and then the efciency drops
off rapidly. The carbon portion of the media’s efciency
drops continually during its life. Thus a regular schedule
of change out of odor control media needs to be established and followed.
There are two types of Odor Control Media Modules used
in the ClearAir unit. One is called the Media Panel Type
and the other is called the Loose Fill type.
With the Media Panel type the odor control media is compressed into 18” x 24” x 1.25” Media Panels which slide
into a Module (see Figure 28-1). The Module(s) then
slide into the Racks in the PCU (refer to Figure 27-1). As
an option the unit may be equipped with a 30% pleated
media After Filter located immediately downstream of the
Media Models.
With the Loose Fill type the odor control media is housed
in steel reusable Media Modules that can be replenished
with Loose Fill media (refer to Figure 29-1). With Loose
Fill media a 30% pleated media After Filter located immediately downstream of the Media Models is required.
Service and Maintenance
Generally the life of the Odor Control Media is the number
of days shown in Table T-27-1. However every cooking
condition varies and therefore it is important to establish

the frequency of inspection and replacement of the media.
If the unit has Double or Triple Pass Odor Control the life
expectancy between the rst, second and third pass will
vary. To assist in determining if the media has expended
an Odor Control Media Monitoring Tube is provided (see
Figure 27-2). This tube is mounted in the odor control plenum of the PCU so that it is exposed to the odor molecules
in the exhaust air, the same as the Media Modules. The
tube is identied by the label shown in Figure 27-3. The
label includes an area where the date of the last inspection and Media Panel installation can be lled in with a
grease pencil.
To inspect the Media Monitoring Tube, using an open end
wrench, turn the tube nut counter clockwise and remove
the Monitoring Tube assembly. The Media starts off a
dark purple so if the media in the Monitoring Tube is Dark
Purple it is still good. If the Media is dark brown, break a
granule open and if the inside is light tan there is very little
life left and the Media should be replaced. If the outside of
the granules are light tan the Media is completely expended and the Media must be replaced. If you are unable to
determine the status of the Media send a small sample,
one teaspoon, to Green Ladder Technologies if the unit
uses the Media Panel type or Cameron Great Lakes if the
unit has the Loose Fill type. Note the date of installation
on the sample. They will conduct a life test and advise the
results by e-mail, fax or phone. Refer to pages 28 and 29
for contact information.
Once the media in the Monitoring Tube has expended,
and you wish to continue checking with the Media Monitoring Tube it must be replaced with a new one. To order
new Media Monitor Tube contact Gaylord Industries.

Replacing Loose Fill Media
There are two methods of replacing the media, the “Advancing Program” or Site Rell.
Advancing Program - This is a program offered by Cameron/Great Lakes, Inc. where they will ship recycled prelled Modules in exchange for used Modules. The pre-lled
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 lling on site.
Cameron Great Lakes

Portland, OR 97210
800-777-4044
630-377-0711
To participate 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 contain
ers for disposal.
4. Pack the empty used Modules into the boxes the new
ones came in and ship back to the distributor.
Site Rell - Site rell involves the purchase and storage of
new media, emptying and relling 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.
New media comes in standard ve gallon buckets which weigh
40 lbs each. One bucket will rell 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 and Relling 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.
Relling the Modules is a relatively simple task not requiring
any special tools. Follow steps 1-13:
1. Turn off exhaust fan.
2. Open Media Access Door

6. Place the lling jig over opening.
7. Pour the media into the Module.
8. To eliminate voids, shake or vibrate the Module to en-
sure that the media settles.
9. Continue adding media until Module is full.
Caution: Do not overll as it may cause the
sides to bulge.
10. Replace cover plate and install securing screw.

OVERVIEW
The Spray Odor Control system is housed in a cabinet
mounted on the PCU (refer to Figure 9-1 on page 9). The
major components are a spray nozzle, air compressor,
timers and a 5 gallon tank to hold the Spray Odor solution (refer to Figure 43-1 on page 43). The compressor
pulls the solution up through the pick-up tube in the tank
by creating a vacuum, and then pushes it out through an
atomizing nozzle into the plenum after the Final Filters. The
spray is not on constant, but is timed on and off, the length
of time on dependent upon the amount of odor created by
the cooking process.
SETTING THE TIMERS
The Spray Odor Unit operates on spray-on and spray-off
timed cycles while the PCU 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”.
CAUTION: Always de-energize the PCU before opening
the Electrical and Timer Control Panel inside the Odor
Spray Cabinet.
pressor unit to the compression tting 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 uid cap (orice)
and replace the cleanout plug. Remove the foot valve from
the liquid container and inspect screen for clogging. Brush
clean if clogged.
SPRAY 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 nely
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
FORMULA GS-710:
ADJUSTING THE TIMERS
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.
Cycle Timer
To set the “Off” period, turn the dial to the desired off time
interval.
Spray Timer
To set the “On” period, turn the dial to the desired on time
interval.
COMPRESSOR
The air pressure is factory set at 20 psi. If the solution is
not being pulled up through the pick-up tube adjust the
pressure slightly up or down until the climbs up the tube.
SPRAY ODOR CONTROL SPRAY NOZZLE ASSEMBLY
NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
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 orice, and/or leakage in the air or liquid section of the
nozzle.
The following procedure should be done to maintain the
nozzle’s performance:

EXHAUST FAN SECTION
GENERAL
The exhaust fan in the ClearAirTM Unit is a heavy duty type.
The size of the fan, motor, and drives have been chosen for
the most efcient operation.
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 rmly 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.
3. 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 Airow:
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 airow and eventual general
shut-down of system until needed repair is made.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Daily Maintenance
The Command Center should be looked at once a day to
check if notication of dirty lters is displayed. If the display reads DIRTY FILTERS, they should be replaced. A
scheduled should be developed, based on the operation of
this kitchen, to replace the lters on a regular basis. Refer
to page 26 for details.
Six Months
Remove the lters and inspect the interior of the unit for
grease build up. If needed the unit should be cleaned to
the same standards as the grease duct as described in
NFPA 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.
Fire Damper
The ClearAir unit may be equipped with a re damper on
the outlet side of the nal lter. There are fusible links on the
dampers that will sense a re. NFPA-96 requires these fuse
links be replaced annually. Replace with a 280°F (138°C)
link of the same type.
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

RECEIVING & INSTALLATION
RECEIVING
Most ClearAirTM units are shipped in one piece. However,
some units, because of size or special jobsite conditions,
may be shipped in multiple sections. Follow the instructions provided with the unit to join sections back together.
If the unit includes media bed odor control, the odor control
media is packaged separately. Verify against the shipping
documents that you have received all items and note any
shipping damage, obvious or hidden, to your carrier and
on your Bill of Lading. If damage is found, immediately le
a claim with the transport company. All units are thoroughly
inspected and fully operation tested at the factory prior to
shipment.

INSTALLATION CODES
This unit requires external plumbing and electrical connections
to be made in the eld. It is recommended that the Authority
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) be consulted regarding local
codes and installation procedures. Gaylord Industries 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 (NEC) and the International Mechanical
Code (IMC). Connections of the exhaust duct to the inlet
and outlet of the ClearAirTM unit must be fully welded to
comply with NFPA-96.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
1. The services of qualied 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 lters. The initial air volume should be at least 10%
higher than the listed CFM. As the lters 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 lters 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 re 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
lter access door and electrical compartment door for service and routine maintenance.
SHORT TERM STORAGE
Units that include media bed odor control are provided with
media which is shipped separate from the unit. 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. To prevent corrosion all
bearings should receive grease and be rotated the rst 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 specic 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 lm. Compounds can be recommended
by the bearing manufacturer to provide protection for
several months to several years.
After long-term storage, grease should be purged from the
bearings and fresh grease injected prior to start-up.

the unit and remove.
3. Check the fan for free movement, making sure the
springs are seated within the top and bottom spring
cap.
4. Check the fan for level and level if necessary with the
leveling nuts.
PRE-OPERATIONAL MAINTENANCE
Before starting the exhaust fan perform the following preoperational 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. Take up or relieve tension in belts so
that there is approximately 3/4" to 1" deection under
3 pounds pressure based on 2 1/2 to 3 foot centers
on drive. Adjustment of belt tension is accomplished
by use of adjustable motor base.
INITIAL OPERATION
After pre-operational checks, unit is ready for operation:
1. Start up blower. Check rotation.
2. If blower impeller is turning in the wrong direction, reverse
rotation per instructions furnished by motor manufacturer.
INITIAL FAN LUBRICATION
To 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 specic bearing lubricating
instructions on the fan.
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 lm.
After long-term storage, grease should be purged from the

UNIT 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 NFPA 96 requirements
Check the fan section and remove shipping braces if supplied per the instructions on pages 30 and 31.
If the unit was shipped in sections, check for proper assembly of the unit on pages A-2, A-3 and A-4. All eld joints
must be welded grease and water tight.
Check for proper and complete installation of all lters. If
some are missing locate them and install per the instructions on page 26.
If a media bed odor control system was provided make sure
that it was installed per the instructions on pages 27 and 28.
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 eld adjustments refer to page 29.
Check for proper air ow at the kitchen hood. Make sure
that all access panels have been installed in the duct work
and all lters or cartridges are in place in the hood. Check
for proper air volume per hood manufacturer's instructions.
Minimum ow should be the design volume. However, ows
of up to 15% high are acceptable. The air ow will drop as
the lters become dirty. Starting high will assure smoke
capture even with lter loading.
Air volumes of 30 to 50% of design or a strong vibration
may indicate that the fan is rotating backwards. Verify Fan
rotation. If air ow is still low or there is excessive vibration
check fan for loose components, duct discharge blockage,
or open access panels. Excessive vibration may be caused
by shipping braces that are still in place.
Once the proper air ow is set, the missing lter pressure
switch needs to be set per the instructions under “Pres-
sure Switch Adjustments” on page 37. Perform the Filter
Removal Test to verify operation.
