Daily Operation
Overview
All functions of the Gaylord Ventilator and ClearAir Unit, such as starting the Exhaust Fan, starting the wash
cycle, etc., are controlled by the Command Center located on the Main Control Cabinet (Refer to Figure
3-1-1). The ClearAir Unit contains an internal wash system that is activated each time the Exhaust Fan is turned
off. Upon activation the ESP Cells are washed in sequence with hot detergent injected water for a programmed
period of time to wash away the accumulation of smoke and grease particles. At the conclusion of the detergent
wash cycle the ESP Cells are rinsed with hot water.
Starting the Exhaust Fan and ClearAir Unit

Ventilator reach their set point. Anytime the Exhaust Fan in on the ClearAir Unit is also on.
