DESCRIPTION:
Wells Canopy Style Hoods are Certified Type-1 compliant,
UL710B approved recirculation hood systems and feature
completely self-contained air filtration system. Canopy-style
hoods are available with or without completely self-contained firesuppression systems. They do not require venting outside making
it possible to cook in non-traditional locations or when traditional
Type-1 hoods and duct-work are impractical, restricted or too
expensive. Operators may only use forward-facing, enclosed
compartment appliances like single or double deck electric
convection ovens, conventional ovens, combi ovens, cook & hold
ovens, steamers and oven proofer combination ovens.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Fire Protection – WVC hoods are ANSUL® ready and include
heat sensors and an ANSUL nozzle in the plemium. The WVC-46
includes on-board, self-contained fire prevention including the
ANSUL tank, and is ready for the ANSUL representative to provide
the sopanifier, nitrogen catridge and to activate and tag the
system. The WVC-46X is designed to be connected to an external
ANSUL system (not included). A manual fire-pull may be provided
by a licensed ANSUL representative and mounted at point of
egress. Side access is provided for easy system maintenance.
Fire protection system meets NFPA 96 Chapter 13. Fire protection
system must be charged and certified by ANSUL Authorized
distributor after installation and before first use (operator’s
responsibility).
Filtration – Completely self-contained filtration process reduces
emissions below that allowed in NFPA 96 and ANSI UL710B using
the EPA 202 test method and includes stainless steel grease baffle
filter with grease cup, fiberglass pre-filters, HEPA (High-Efficiency
Particulate Air) filter/ carbon-charcoal filter pack. All filters are
easily removable with out tools. Air flow sensors continually
monitor air flow optimizing performance and grease removal while
an interlock system will not allow cooking appliances to function if
filters are missing, clogged or in the event of a fire.
Cooking Appliances – Only electrically heated, enclosed,
forward facing compartment-type appliances are acceptable
for installation.. Cooking equipment is optional from Wells
or other manufacturers. Appliances must be installed as
per manufacturers instructions and controlled thru the hood
equipment shut-off interface through a customer supplied
contactor which will disable cooking equipment in the event of
fire or hood malfunction. For size, temperature and KW limits
see back page or manual.
Exhaust and Air Flow – Exhaust air may be directed
horizontally or vertically and is field convertible. Typical airflow
is 850 CFM. A minimum of 150 cubic feet of fresh air per minute
is required both in and out of the cooking areas to ensure the
dilution of cooking aromas
