4 OM-ECOARCH
Installation Instructions
This manual covers three of the basic types of systems offered by Avtec:
• Baffle Filter
• Modular Grease Extractor
• EcoArch UV
BAFFLE FILTER SERIES
Baffle Filters ventilators are listed by UL and are built in accordance of NFPA-96 for use
with UL listed extinguishing systems for duct hood protection. They utilize UL classified
removable baffle filters to extract grease and provide a limited barrier. The canopy contains
a hidden grease trough and removable cup. Surface, plenum and duct collar extinguishing
systems may be factory supplied.
MODULAR GREASE EXTRACTORS SERIES
Extractor ventilators are listed by UL and are built in accordance of NFPA-96 for use with UL
listed extinguishing systems for duct hood protection. These models utilize high velocity
removable grease extractors. The canopy contains a hidden grease trough and removable
cup. Surface, plenum and duct collar extinguishing systems may be factory supplied.
ULTRAVIOLET (UV) SERIES
The EcoArch Energy Efficient Ventilation UVc is a door assembly integrally installed in the
exhaust plenum of an EcoArch canopy, consisting of UVc filtration system designed for
use in the ventilation control of commercial cooking operations of listed hood systems. A
depiction of this unit is indicated at left.
The UVc filtration system consists of a Heraus manufactured UVc and Ozone producing
lamp used to reduce exhaust odors and grease deposit emissions before they enter the
exhaust duct system. The UVc light waves and ozone producing lamp breaks the grease
particles into smaller molecules which allow an Ozone reaction to occur chemically. Like
combustion, high temperature separates the O-atoms in atmospheric Oxygen which then
bonds to the grease molecule causing oxidation. Similarly, in UVc technology, the extra
O-atom in the Ozone splits from the ozone molecule and attaches itself to grease molecule
causing oxidation but without the high temperature, which results in the reduction of duct
cleaning, cleaning costs and risks of potential grease fires.
The EcoArch Energy Efficient Ventilation UVc is manufactured with Type 201 Stainless
Steel; but, alternatively can be constructed using 200, 300 and 400 series stainless steel
without adversely affecting the UVc filtration system capabilities.
