DESCRIPTION

Wells Ventless Fryers are Certi ed Type-1 compliant, UL710B
approved recirculation hood systems and feature completely
self-contained air  ltration and  re-suppression systems. They
do not require venting outside making it possible to cook in non­traditional locations or when traditional Type-1 hoods and duct­work are impractical, restricted or too expensive. VCS models are
integrated with hood and cooking equipment in one, ready to use
package.

SPECIFICATIONS

Fire Protection – Completely self contained ANSUL® R-102
system includes ANSUL® tank, nitrogen cartridge, ANSUL®
sopani er, piping, fusible links, ANSUL® drops, nozzles, and
movable manual pull station. Manual pull can be relocated to
the egress position or an additional station can be added by an
authorized ANSUL® representative. Fire protection system meets
NFPA 96 Chapter 13. Fire protection system must be charged and
certi ed by ANSUL® Authorized distributor after installation and
before  rst use (operator’s responsibility).

Filtration – Completely self-contained  ltration process reduces
emissions below that allowed in NFPA 96 and ANSI UL710B
using the EPA 202 test method. Wells Ventless Fryers include a
fully self-contained 3-stage air  ltration system including a baffl e
 lter with grease cup, a EPA (High- Ef ciency Particulate Air)  lter
and a Carbon-Charcoal Filter. All  lters are easily removable with
out tools. Air fl ow sensors continually monitor air fl ow optimizing
performance and grease removal while an interlock system will
not allow cooking appliances to function if  lters are missing,
clogged or in the event of a  re.

Cooking Appliances – Cooking equipment is included and
integrated in all VCS models. Both the WVAE30F and WVA55F
provide high-production capacity in the narrowest footprint
and include a paperless oil  ltration system that reduces labor
while cleaning oil more ef ciently. All models feature Automatic
Basket Lifts to maximize handling safety.

Exhaust and Air Flow – Exhaust air is vertical discharge.
Typical airfl ow is 800 CFM. A minimum of 400 cubic feet of
fresh air per minute is recommended both in and out of the
cooking area to ensure the dilution of cooking aromas.
