2-Second Minimum Dwell Time for Odor Reduction
Ozone is an effective oxidant for reducing cooking odor within grease ducts of commercial kitchens. Please note that
smoke and smoke odor resulting from the grilling or searing of foodstuffs at high temperatures cannot be reduced by
ozone oxidation.
To obtain good odor reduction results with AirMaid it is important that the ozone have enough time to react with the
odor particles in the duct airstream. We call this “reaction time” or “dwell time” and is measured from the point where
the ozone gas is mixed in with the exhaust airstream ahead of the hood connection. With multiple hoods in the duct-
work, this is instead measured from the hood closest to the point of exhaust.
With this in mind we recommend a minimum dwell time of 2 seconds to obtain “good” results for the reduction of
cooking odor. However, please keep in mind that a longer dwell time will often provide even better results.
Clean the Exhaust Ducts
When AirMaid is retrofit into existing exhaust systems, the exhaust ducts must be swept clean of grease and soot at the
time of installation. This is required to achieve the desired results from the ozone cleaning.
Educate the Chimney Sweep
AirMaid is an electrical device, and as such must be protected from exposure to water, chemicals and duct waste when
exhaust ducts are cleaned. Damage due to external influences such as these is not covered under the product warranty.
It is therefore highly recommended that the duct cleaning company be informed about the AirMaid installation so care
is taken not to expose the duct connection such materials.
