General Description
Description
The kitchen fan control center, or KFCC, is a
pre-engineered package designed to control the
operation of fans in a constant volume kitchen . The
package consists of a cabinet encasing one or more fan
motor starters interlocked together for on/off operation .
Different fan, light and thermal switch combinations may
be provided to operate the kitchen hood fan(s), light(s),
and heating/cooling capabilities of the supply air . The
control center as a standard is equipped with additional
relays prewired to the fan starter(s) . These additional
relays are capable of turning on the kitchen exhaust and
shutting down supply regardless of the present state of
the fans via integration of a fire system microswitch with
factory terminals . The control center can be equipped
with temperature interlock, designed to automatically
start kitchen fans and keep them running while heat is
being generated from the cooking appliances . Hood
systems should always be manually started before the
cooking equipment is turned on, but if forgotten the
interlock will safely trigger the fans to start once heat is
detected . Other options are available .
Purpose
The purpose of the KFCC is to provide a complete
control center equipped with fan motor starters . The
control center provides a common connection point
to interlock kitchen exhaust, supply, and hood lights
with the hood’s fire suppression system . The cabinet is
pre-engineered with terminal blocks for most field wiring
connections . The control center can also be equipped
with interlock between the exhaust fans and cooking
equipment, as to meet International Mechanical Code
(IMC) 2015 Section 507 .1 .1 . In this case, the system will
utilize a temperature sensor in the exhaust duct collar
or capture area in the hood to detect heat generated
from cooking operations and automatically activate the
exhaust fans if not already running .
Product Application
The KFCC is designed for both Type I and Type II
(grease and non-grease) constant volume hood
systems, where starters are needed to activate fans .
The control center can operate both single and three
phase fans . Greenheck recommends using one KFCC
per hood system (activates all fans simultaneously) .
When temperature interlock is provided in this package,
it is not to be used in conjunction with exhaust fire
dampers .
