FOR THE SYSTEM DESIGN ENGINEER
1. General Description
The standard major components supplied with each
unit for installation are as follows:
•
Inlet Plenum Section with Grease Baffle Impinger
Prefilters
• Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) with Integral
Power Supplies
• Control Panel
• Detergent System
• Water Wash Solenoid Valve(s), ‘Y’ Strainer, and
Detergent
• Odor Control Section
• Optional Exhaust Fan
Stage 1 of the Grease Viper System is an Inlet Plenum
Section with Grease Baffle Impinger Prefilters.
Stage 2 of the Grease Viper System is an ESP that
provides primary filtration and contains the following
components:
• Ionizing/Collecting Cells (collecting elements)
•
Aluminum Mesh Afterfilters
• Wash Manifolds - located both above and
upstream of the Cells
• Optional Pre-piped Fire Suppression Nozzles
Stage 3 of the Grease Viper System is an optional 2nd
stage ESP Section that provides secondary filtration
to the 1st Stage ESP for both increased collection
capacity and efficiency. 3rd stage ESP sections are
also available.
Stage 4 of the Grease Viper System is an Odor
Control Section. Panels, filled with activated carbon
granules, are arranged in a V-shaped bank providing
a large surface area for the air. The surface of each
granule is extremely porous and absorbs materials
that are in a gaseous or vaporized state that cannot
be removed by the previous filter sections. Using the
carbon filters without pre-filtration by a 2nd stage ESP
is not recommended. When the panels have become
saturated or fully loaded they may be replaced with
new panels or reactivated carbon.
Gasketed access doors located on one side of the
cabinet, 90 degrees to the direction of the airflow,
provide entry for removal of the cells and filters. The
location of the access doors may be specified as right-
hand or left-hand access - determined by facing the
inlet of the ESP (dirty airflow at your back).
The solid-state high voltage power supplies are
factory installed and wired within an enclosure on
ESP access doors.
The control panel consists of a NEMA 12 enclosure
designed for remote mounting and houses power
supply transformers and electrical components for
initiating and sequencing the wash cycle. In addition,
the control panel is a central junction for the primary
wiring. The detergent system is furnished as a
completely assembled unit to be piped directly to the
wash water supply, into the wash manifolds.
Note: 16, 30, or 55-gallon detergent tanks are available
as an option.
The strainer is to be installed in the main wash
water supply line. Back flow preventer and/or check
valves should be installed according to local code
requirements - these items are not provided as part of
the system accessories.
When furnished, the Exhaust Fan (optional) has
been sized to handle the air flow and static pressure
requirements for the Grease Viper System and the
adjoining hood ductwork.
2. System Design and Layout
The arrangement of the supplied components and
the general layout of the system will vary according to
application, adjoining equipment, and available space.
However, there are several basic factors pertaining to
all installations that must be considered:
