Chapter 1 – Introduction, Page 1-2___________________________________________________________
Introduction
Air Quality is becoming a major concern in America’s large 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 floors to the roof.
Pollution control in kitchen exhaust systems has typically been accomplished by any one of the following
methods - gas fired incinerators, scrubbers, filtration 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 baffles to remove the pollutants and though quite effective on
grease removal, they typically require the addition of high efficiency filters to abate smoke below control
agencies’ standards. Filtration units use a series of impingement filters to remove the pollutants and if done
properly can be quite effective on both smoke and grease.
The Gaylord pollution control unit, trademarked ClearAir, can be manufactured with either electrostatic
precipitation (ESP) or Filtration (TPF). Gaylord Industries has been manufacturing ESP’s specifically 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 ClearAirESP unit is available in several configurations, 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 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 certified in determining opacity percentages.

___________________________________________________________Chapter 1 – Introduction, Page 1-3
Introduction (Cont.)
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 certified contractors which can be quite costly and time-consuming. The efficiency of a pollution
control unit is based on how well it reduces the opacity level of a given airstream. The Gaylord ClearAir
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 exists separately in the airstream. The ROG molecules
are much too small to be removed by any type of filter 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 finely atomized spray. This
spray performs a similar function to potassium permanganate in that it adsorbs or chemically neutralizes
odors. This process has the benefit 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 efficiency of odor
control can be very subjective, as testing is usually conducted by the human nose. More scientific 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 efficiency 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 significantly
increase the smoke abatement efficiency and the life of the odor abatement media.
