PA-S Q
Exhaust Only Hood with Optional Rear Supply Plenum
Features at a Glance
- Superior exhaust flow rates (A 4' Hood can operate at 228 CFM/ft or 912 total CFM.)
- ETL Listed for use over 400°F and 600°F cooking surface temperatures, provides flexibility in designing kitchen ventilation systems. ETL Listed to Canadian safety standards, ETL Sanitation Listed and built in accordance with NFPA 96.
- ETL Listed to Canadian safety standards, ETL Sanitation Listed and built in accordance with NFPA 96.
- Sloped front for low ceiling applications.
- Front design prevents condensation and directs grease-laden vapors toward the exhaust filter bank.
- Polished stainless steel on the interior and exterior of the front enhance aesthetics.
- Up to 90% make-up air can be supplied through optional rear plenum on the PA-S-DP Q model.
- Sturdy stainless steel construction with double wall, insulated front panel.
- Factory pre-wired lighting to illuminate the cooking surface.
- Aluminum filters with optional stainless steel, Captrate®, or high velocity cartridge filters (Model PA-S-C Q).
- Optional integral clearance to combustibles reduction system to meet NFPA 96 requirements.
- Optional UL Listed light and fan control switches flush mounted and pre-wired through electrical chaseway.
- Exceptional capture and containment of cooking vapors. This is accomplished with the "triangle" on the front of the hood's capture area and the "C-shaped" design of the hood's capture area.
Options
- Utility Cabinet - ETL Listed for integral side mount on the K-Tech ventilation hood, fabricated of same material as hood. The cabinet can house a factory pre-piped UL Listed fire suppression system* and ETL Listed, pre-wired electrical controls with light switches, lighted fan control switches and internal factory wiring and components (starters, relays, etc.) to reduce field wiring requirements, or the ETL Listed Energy Management System with ETL electrical controls. ETL tests confirm temperatures do not exceed 120°F inside the cabinet during fire condition. (120°F is the maximum allowed storage temperature for the UL Listed fire suppression system and the ETL Listed Industrial control panel. (*Dimensional restrictions may apply)
- Rear Make-Up Air Plenum - Provides make-up air for the kitchen, discharged below cooking equipment. Welded. Stainless steel exposed surfaces. Unexposed surfaces made of aluminized metal. Shipped separately, requiring field connection. Insulated to prevent condensation. Perforated diffuser plates for even air distribution. Provides required clearance from limited combustibles per NFPA 96 Standards.
- Front Perforated Supply Plenum - Provides low velocity make-up air for the kitchen, discharged in front of the hood. Welded. Stainless steel. Perforated diffuser plates for even air distribution. Supply riser includes a volume damper for easy balancing.
- Removable ETL Listed High-Velocity Cartridge Filter - Constructed of stainless steel. Uses centrifugal force to remove grease and other particulates. National Institute of Standards and Technology methodology used by an independent agency to evaluate performance, tests indicate 95 percent extraction efficiency.
- Captrate® Filter - Removable Combo Filter witch combines stainless steel baffle with a unique high tech patented ceramic filter. Provides highest level of grease removal. Meets UL 1046 and NFPA No. 96 requirements.
- Enclosure Panels - Constructed of stainless steel. Mounting channel factory-welded to hood for field installation of panels over 11" high. Under 11", factory-welded and integrally installed into hood front ends. Sized to extend from hood top to ceiling, enclosing pipe and hanging parts.
- End Panels - Should be used to maximize hood performance and eliminate the effects of cross drafts in kitchen. Units constructed of stainless steel and sized according to hood width and cooking equipment. Exposed edges hemmed for safety and rigidity.
- Heated Make-Up Air - ETL Listed direct fired gas heated make-up air unit. ETL Listed for natural gas and propane. Design integrates the blower and burner into a single package. Heavy duty, weather resistant, galvanized steel construction. Units available in Roof Top Package or as a stand alone heated make-up air module. Several sizes available to meet almost any performance rating specification.
