KCH-F – Capture Jet™ condensate hood with supply air (CE)

Halton Capture Jet™ hoods and ventilated ceilings are all suitable for LEED (1), BREEAM (2), DGNB (3), RE2020 (4) etc. projects, particularly when combined with M.A.R.V.E.L. airflow and energy optimization technology. Specially designed for heavy steam producing equipment, they are particularly suitable to central kitchens, asian steam cooking and food industry.

Description

The Capture Jet™ technology enables significant reductions in airflow rates leading to savings on construction costs, mainly due to the reduced size of ducts and HVAC equipment. It typically pays for itself upon the startup of the kitchen or within few months. The energy savings it generates then directly contribute to an increase in profitability, while the staff benefits from improved working conditions.

KCH hoods are also designed to evacuate the condensation drips that may form inside their containment volume when used with heavy steam-producing equipment. The hoods are equipped with a gutter system installed on all four sides of the containment volume. This system collects water drips flowing down the sides and the hood's ceiling, whose diamond-point shape facilitates their flow. These provisions greatly improve hygiene by limiting the risk of condensation drips falling on the cooking appliance.

KCH-F hoods are lastly equipped with a low-velocity makeup air built into the front face.

Considerable energy savings

• The Capture Jet™ technology allows for up to a 40% reduction in exhaust airflow rates.
• The combination with M.A.R.V.E.L. airflow and energy optimization technology allows for reducing the exhaust volumes by up to an additional 44% on top of that of the Capture Jet™ resulting in up to a 64% total reduction. Energy savings are then massive.
• It generates important energy savings on cooling/heating the makeup air (less air out, less air in!).
• The reduced draft risk and noise levels improve the working conditions for the staff.

Improved safety and maintenance savings

• Designed to channel excess condensation on hoods' interior surfaces to a perimeter gutter system to greatly improve hygiene.
• KSA cyclonic aerosol separators constructed of stainless steel in compliance with EN 16282-6. They are up to 95% efficient on 10 microns particles or larger. Also certified UL 1046, NSF, and LPS 1263.
• KSA cyclonic aerosol separators efficiently slow down the build-up of grease deposits in the exhaust plenums and ductwork that could otherwise constitute a serious hygiene and fire safety hazard. It also results in savings on the ductwork cleaning cost.

Other features and benefits

• Construction compliant with NF EN 16282-2 (5).
• Integrated fan for the Capture Jet™ technology. No additional duct is required.
• Capture Jets are automatically switched off when the hood is not used or operates at a minimum airflow.
• Halton Skyline (HCL) LED culinary light provides the best visual comfort while contributing to further improve safety and energy savings.
• When extended to the whole kitchen and surrounding areas, the Human Centric version of Halton Skyline (HCL) directly contributes to chefs' and their teams wellbeing.
• Better capture efficiency and comfort for the staff thanks to a low-velocity diffuser built into the front.
• Capture and containment efficiency tested in accordance with the ASTM 1704 standard.
