Kitchen ExhaustAir CleaningSystems

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, Inc. 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.
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 through
an ionization section which imparts a positive electrical charge to these contaminants. The
charged particles are then drawn into a secondary electric field where they are collected on a
series of metal plates.

ASHRAE Standard 52-76 (1976) ratings have been replaced by ASHRAE Standard 52.1 (1992). These two standards are
very similar. In addition, a new standard, ASHRAE Standard 52.2-2007 3 Method of Testing General Ventilation Air-Cleaning
Devices for Removal Efficiency by Particle Size. The filter efficiency ratings are designated by Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value
(MERV) between 1 and 20 as shown in the table below.
