Product catalog summary
Introduction
Air Quality Engineering, Inc., founded in 1973, is a manufacturer of comprehensive air filtration systems, aiming to deliver cost-effective and high-quality solutions for various sectors including commercial, industrial, and residential.
Kitchen Exhaust Air Cleaning Systems
To address the challenges of smoke, grease, and odor emissions in restaurants, Air Quality Engineering provides Kitchen Exhaust Air Cleaning Systems. These systems utilize dual-stage electrostatic precipitation to efficiently remove contaminants.
System Specifications
The AutoClean™ 8000 system is designed to handle air volumes ranging from 4,000 to 12,000 CFM. It includes a solid-state power supply, a programmable self-washing system, and optional odor control modules, with varying efficiency and pressure drop rates.
Standards and Compliance
The systems meet UL 867 and UL 710 standards and are tested according to ASHRAE 52.2-2007 for particle size removal efficiency. Efficiency ratings adhere to ASHRAE Standard 52.1-1992.
Equipment Description and Operation
The modular air cleaner includes sections for pre-filter, ionization, and optional odor absorption, operating on electrostatic precipitation principles to charge and collect particles on metal plates.
Construction and Maintenance
Constructed from galvanized steel with optional epoxy coating, the unit features easy maintenance access through single-door entry and gasket-sealed lever latches.
Power Supply and Safety
The system's power supply is fully solid state with built-in protections and a neon light for performance status. Safety interlock switches prevent access to high voltage areas without power interruption.
Warranty
A 12-month limited parts warranty is provided.
Installation Requirements
Installation of neutralizers must be supervised by an Air Quality Engineering employee or an authorized service technician.
Principle of Operation
The system operates on adsorption, using activated carbon to capture gases and vapors that particulate filters cannot remove. These are adsorbed into the carbon's micro-pore structure.
Carbon Media Specifications
  • Carbon: Made from coconut shell, with a particle size of 4 x 8, carbon tetrachloride activity of at least 60, hardness number of 97 minimum, density averaging 31 pounds per cubic foot, total ash content not exceeding 2%, and iodine number greater than 1050.
  • Panels: V-bank configuration, made of 26 gauge black powder-coated steel, holding a minimum of 18 pounds of carbon each. Dimensions are 23.75 inches by 23.75 inches, with a minimum thickness of 2 inches. Airflow should not exceed a face velocity of 75 feet per minute. Panels are refillable.
