OVERVIEW

Air Purification Unit

he Ecology APU is available in a variety of configurations to meet engineering design requirements for the elimination of grease particulate, smoke and odor from the kitchen exhaust air stream. Integrated or stand alone modules are available for the blower, filter and odor control functions of the system. Installation can be in the ceiling space above the kitchen exhaust hood, or in a remote location such as a mechanical room, or on the roof. The Ecology APU provides the food service operator an economical solution to problems, which in the past would have prevented the installation of a commercial kitchen. Ecology APU solves the problems associated with the following:

NEW HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS Ecology APU provides the economical solution to the cost of running expensive 16 gauge, all welded fire rated ductwork to the roof as required by Fire and Building Codes. The cleaned kitchen exhaust air from the Ecology APU unit can be exhausted out of the side of the building at usually 10 (3 meters) above ground level or into an adjacent covered parking area. NON TRADITIONAL SITES Ecology APU provides the solution for historical and architecturally protected buildings, where the installation of a restaurant kitchen was not possible at the time of design. MALL OPERATIONS WITH FOOD COURTS Ecology APU provides pollution control for new and existing Mall Food Court operations and the flexibility for future expansion of the system. Multiple hoods and APU filter sections can be joined to common odor control and blower sections of the system. KITCHEN EXHAUST ODOR ABATEMENT Ecology APU will effectively control the objectionable odors produced from commercial cooking operations when equipped with the optional Odor Control Section. This option addresses the problems of commercial kitchens located near residential areas or areas that are under pollution control requirements from the local Air Quality Management District or other local authorities. REDUCED DUCTWORK COST IN CANADA In Canada (ULC Listing) and some cities in the United States, authorities allow exhaust ductwork downstream of the Filter Section to be installed using standard HVAC duct.

OPERATION

Air Purification Unit

APU UNIT SHOWN IS WITH OPTIONAL LIQUID ODOR SPRAY. The standard configuration for the exhaust inlet and outet is straight through horizontally. Optionally the unit may be configured for left, right or top inlet and discharge (as illustrated in picture)

FILTER SECTION he exhausted air from the cooking operations passes through the Quiet-Aire ventilator in the kitchen and is ducted to the the Ecology APU unit for the removal of remaining particulate grease and smoke. The Ecology APU uses a three stage filter system that is designed to progressively remove the exhaust grease particulate and smoke matter down to an ASHRAE rated +99% clean air level. The filter section also includes: A UL/ULC Listed fire damper actuated by a fusible link that is located at the filter section outlet. The fire damper is required in Canada and most cities in the United States. A firestat fixed at 200F (93C) to shut off the exhaust fan and actuate an alarm at the firestat set point. An Air Monitor Cabinet, water tight and housing the firestat relay and pressure switches for monitoring Filter Out, Replace PreFilter, Replace Bag-Filter, and Replace Box-Filter. A Status Panel for remote mounting. The three-stages of filtration comprises: 1. A first stage pre-filter is a 4 (102mm) deep pleated type and is rated at 40% ASHRAE 52.2. The filter is Listed as UL/ULC Class II. 2. A second stage bag-filter is a 22 (559mm) deep bag type and is rated at 95% ASHRAE 52.2. The filter is Listed as UL/ULC Class II. 3. A third stage box-filter is a 12 (305mm) deep, fire rated, absolute filter and is rated at ASHRAE 52.2, 95% DOP. The filter is Listed as UL/ULC Class II.

Air Purification Unit

ACTIVATED ALUMINA SPHERES IMPREGNATED WITH POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE WITH ACTIVATED CARBON (50% - 50%) Activated spheres are an oxidizing media arranged in steel trays inside the odor control section. As the exhaust air stream passes through the trays, the media causes a chemical reaction, oxidation, that breaks the odor causing molecules into odorless natural substances. The cardon provides additional absorption of the odor causing molecules.

ODOR CONTROL SECTION hen equipped with the optional odor control section, the Ecology APU can effectively control the objectionable odors produced from commercial cooking. The exhaust airstream from the filter section is purified of grease particulate and smoke but will still contain malodors produced from the cooking process. Control of these odors is accomplished by passing the exhaust air- stream from the filter section through one of two odor control options offered by QuietAire. ODOR SOLUTION Is a liquid specially formulated to safely and effectively reduce malodors. The Odor Solution liquid is atomized directly into the exhaust air stream of the odor cabinet. Odor Solution is a formulation of natural ingredients from essential oils; it is nontoxic, biodegradable, water soluble and environmentally safe. Odor Solution is not an enzyme or chemical mask, it works by modifying the odor molecule to form a neutral substance. A fresh natural scent results.

EXHAUST FAN SECTION

he exhaust fan section includes a centrifugal blower assembly constructed of a heavy gauge steel housing with all seams continuously welded. The blower has a steel backwardly inclined airfoil wheel of the non-overloading type, and all blades are continuously welded to both a deep spun inlet shroud and to the backplate. The blower is AMCA rated both for sound and air volume, with a AISI C-1040 or C-1045 hot rolled and accurately turned and polished steel shaft. Bearings are grease lubricated, precision anti-friction ball and self aligning pillow block type with lubricating nipples. Drives are V-belt with a capacity 25% greater than motor horsepower. The blower and motor mounting base are equipped with anti-vibration isolators. Oil resistant non-static belts are provided. The blower compartment is constructed with a fully removable combination access panel and hinged door on the drive side of the blower, allowing if necessary the complete removal of the blower assembly during servicing. The blower section is complete with a UL/ULC listed Combination Magnetic Motor Starter with a TYPE 1 cabinet for indoor usage or TYPE 3R water-proof cabinet for outdoor usage, and includes a fan motor starter, electrical overloads, disconnect switch, and terminal blocks for remote control.

The Status Panel is constructed of 18 gauge stainless steel and is designed for remote mounting. The panel features a fully hinged, water tight gasketed, front access door with security fasteners. The panel is an ACD (for use with dry ventilators) with the Fan ON/ OFF pilot switch in the panel face, or ACW-HOA with the Fan ON pilot light (for use with water-wash ventilators) when the Fan ON/OFF pilot switch is furnished as part of another system. The panel is complete with relays, timers, step down 120/24 VAC transformer and status indicator pilot lights and/or push button controls for Fan ON/OFF (ACD) or Fan ON (ACW-HOA), Power On, Filter Out, Fire, Replace Pre-Filter, Replace Bag-Filter, Replace Box-Filter and Silence Buzzer Push Button. Field wiring between the Status Panel (ACD or ACW-HOA) and the Air Monitor Cabinet on the filter section is low voltage 24 VAC. The panel can be equipped with Low Odor Liquid Indicators. Also available are sets of dry contacts for sending status signals to the building management system.
