VARIFLOW
Baffles
The most important component for the successful operation of a
REV LOW
hood is the core
extractor that contains the
VARIFLOW
baffles. The core extractor profile has been designed to
facilitate the smooth flow of cooking vapours and dilution air from the roof of the hood, down
along the front of the core extractor and into the core extractor slot. The
VARIFLOW
baffles are
located inside the core extractor along the entire length. The
VARIFLOW
baffles are adjustable
to provide between a 100 CFM/ft to 450 CFM/ft flow rate into the core extractor slot. The
VARIFLOW
baffles are adjustable without any special tools by lifting off the core extractor
removable insert and hand adjusting the position of the baffle. Just set the position of the
VARIFLOW
baffle to match the appliance located below. See Figure 3 for isometric view of
VARIFLOW
baffles.

Benefits
A
Spring Air Systems Inc.
REV LOW
Hood system provides numerous benefits to the
owners/operator of a commercial or institutional restaurant.
1. More comfortable kitchen environment.
2. Lower annual heating cost with little or no capital cost increase.
3. Lower annual air conditioning costs and possible reduced capital cost for air conditioning
equipment.
More Comfortable Kitchen Environment
The
Spring Air
REV LOW
Hood System
provides excellent smoke capture using the absolute
minimum net exhaust air from the restaurant. The system can be interlocked with the kitchen
makeup air unit and the building air conditioning units to energize the economizers and provide a
balanced supply and exhaust system. Reduced drafts will provide more comfortable
temperatures throughout the kitchen.
Low Heating Costs
The
Spring Air
REV LOW
Hood System
is designed to minimize the net exhaust air from the
building. Less net exhaust means less heating of fresh air or supply air into the building.
Lower Air Conditioning Costs
The
Spring Air
REV LOW
Hood System
is designed to minimize the amount of conditioned supply
air required in the store. By reducing the conditioned air into the store, the required air
conditioning load is reduced and the air conditioning operating cost will consequently decrease.
