"...A Range of Products
From One Function to Fully Programmable, Self Maintaining..."
In today’s busy world,
more people are going out to eat. For restaurants this growing trend not
only increases traffic and revenues but the kitchen hazards associated with
this new volume. As kitchen cooking production grows, restaurants will
exhaust more smoke, grease, and odors into the air. Local neighbors may
raise concerns about air quality, and restaurants may put their roofs at
risk with grease pooling that attacks roof materials. To help restaurants
keep pace, Air Quality Engineering offers its Kitchen Exhaust Air Cleaning
Systems. These systems use a proven dual-stage electronic air cleaning
technique—electrostatic precipitation—to remove smoke, grease, mist, and
other particulates from the air.

F61 Self Cleaning Kitchen
Emissions Exhaust Air Cleaner
F61 AutoClean is an in-line electrostatic air cleaner with an
integral, dynamic wash system and programmable control
providing the ultimate solution to your air filtration needs.
These air cleaners are ideal for heavy tobacco smoke
applications, commercial kitchen exhaust or even industrial
applications like welding fume and smoke. The F61 AutoClean is
available in multiple sizes and is customizable to meet your
air filtration needs. Premier wash system both rotates and
traverses the electronic collector cells to insure complete
cleaning of the collector fins. Optional master clock allows
for weekly programming for the ultimate in maintenance free
operation.
Basic electrostatic precipitators
remove grease, odors, and smoke from the air. In order to
maintain efficient air cleaning, the precipitator’s electronic
cells must be kept clean. Usually the cleaning is done
manually. The AutoClean eliminates the need for manual
cleaning by utilizing the most effective method of
self-washing on the market. The AutoClean’s wash bar rotates
back and forth while shuttling the bar laterally within the
cabinet. This dualmotion provides complete cleaning coverage
of dual-stage electronic cells; and when used with our
environmentally friendly, concentrated cell cleaner, provides
superior air cleaning efficiency and cost control.

F72 Kitchen Emissions Exhaust
Air Cleaner
The F72 in-line electronic air cleaner removes airborne
particles such as tobacco smoke, dust, cooking smoke, soot,
pollen, bacteria, and cigarette smoke from the circulating air
in large residential or light commercial buildings. The F72 is
mounted in the return air duct of a forced air system. One or
two electronic cells remove airborne contaminants with up to
99 percent efficiency. Rooftop or interior mounted, the F72 is
modular and can be configured for an infinite capacity.
Outdoor, insulated enclosures available.

How
They Work... |
|
Below illustrates airflow for two
configurations or methods of
installing restaurant or commercial kitchen emissions cleaning
systems. |
|
Inside Building |
Outside Building |

Indoor
Configuration
The air cleaning unit goes
between ducting from the kitchen hood to the exhaust fan. A unit can be install
in a crawl space or bolted between ceiling rafters.
- Kitchen
smoke and grease vapor are pulled up into the hood.
- Smoke and
grease vapors are pulled up fireproof ducts that lead to the
filtration unit inside the building.
- Smoke and
grease are extracted from the air as it passes through the
filters.
- Clean air
flows out of the filtration unit through ducts leading to
the blower and out of the building.
|
f
Outdoor
Configuration
Weather protective
enclosures allow the air cleaning unit to sit outside the
building. It installs inline with ducts leading to the blower.
- Kitchen
smoke and grease vapor are pulled up into the hood.
- Smoke and
grease vapors are pulled up fireproof ducts that lead to the
filtration unit outside the building.
- Smoke and
grease are extracted from the air as it passes through the
filters.
- Clean air
flows out of the filtration unit and out through the exhaust
fan.

How Electrostatic Precipitation Works |

Dual-stage electrostatic precipitators include
two parts: the charging and the collecting sections. In the charging
section, the incoming smoke, grease, mist, and other particulates pass by
ionizer wires which impart a positive electrical charge to these
contaminants. The positively charged contaminants are then drawn through the
collection section which contains a secondary electrical field with
negatively charged aluminum plates. Since opposite charges attract, the
positively charged contaminants collect on the negatively charged aluminum
plates, removing them from the air stream.
