O System Benets
Water Wash Hood
Designed to reduce the labor involved in removing and cleaning lters manually, the Accurex water wash hood
system self-cleans the lters in place. Nozzles spray hot water and detergent on the lter(s) cleaning the grease that
has deposited on the surfaces. Additionally, nozzles are located in the plenum to clean the area behind the lters.
Water wash hoods can be programmed to automatically start the cleaning process when desired or may be manually
operated.
Proven Grease Grabber dual-stage filtration technology
No manual filtration removal resulting in labor savings
Filter maintenance is automatically carried out
Programmable timer allows for cleaning to be completed on a
set schedule or by the push of a button
The Grease Grabber H

How it Works - Extracting the Grease
Grease Grabber H
2
O utilizes the Grease Grabber dual stage ltration system which consists of an Grease-X-Tractor
lter in conjunction with an Grease Grabber lter. Together, this ltration system provides the best mechanical grease
extraction in the industry.
The Grease-X-Tractor is the primary lter and takes the brunt of the grease and heat. The proprietary design of the
lter provides greater strength, thereby making it the best re barrier in the industry. The Grease-X-Tractor extracts
69% of grease particles at 8 microns from the efuent airstream.
The Grease Grabber, acting as a secondary lter, uses a 1/2 inch packed bead bed to remove smaller particles
that pass through the Grease-X-Tractor. Together this system removes 100% of the grease at 5 microns and larger
(smoke to spatter).
Cleaning the Hoods and Filters
The Grease Grabber H
2
Os innovative auto-cleaning system is a highly efcient, closed
system that combines time-saving convenience with cost reductions related to labor,
water and energy use.
Upon activation of the cleaning cycle, the system lls a tank in the hood with a hot
water/detergent mixture. The system washes the lter banks and plenum using
specically aimed spray nozzles located throughout the plenum area. The mix is
recycled through the system by a high-efciency pump, purged, and then the hood is
rinsed with fresh hot water.
No need for a gravity drain
Detergent is biodegradable so waste water can be drained to a standard grease trap
All plumbing and controls are factory-installed in an end-mounted utility cabinet for
ease of installation

Single-Island and Proximity Hoods.
Single-Island (V-Bank) Canopy Hoods
Accurexs single-island style canopy hoods are used over cooking equipment that produce heat and grease-laden
efuent (Type I Hood). Single-island style canopy hoods are used over one row of cooking equipment placed where
no walls exist. Single-island hoods can be seen from all directions and have four nished (all stainless steel) sides
available in both V-bank and single-bank lter congurations. Accurex offers a variation of the single-island hood for
use over pizza ovens. Contact your Accurex representative for more information.
Exhaust Only - Single-Wall
Supply air is introduced through ceiling diffusers or external supply
plenums
Face Supply
Make-up air is supplied horizontally through the face via perforated
panels in a manner that does not interfere with the cooking operation
beneath the hood(s)
Perforated panels are located on the face to ensure precise volume
control and will limit the throw to within several feet of the hood
Specialty Hoods
Accurex offers many specialty hoods such as radius corners, heavier
gauges and hoods with cladding. Contact your Accurex representative for
more information.
Proximity (Backshelf) Hoods
Accurex proximity hoods have an industry-leading ve dimensions of
adjustment which make them the perfect solution for low ceilings and light
and medium duty cooking applications. The Accurex proximity hood sits
close to the cooking equipment allowing for lower exhaust rates and smaller
hoods.
Proximity hoods are designed for grease- and heat-laden efuent (Type I
Hood) and are shorter in height and width than a canopy hood. The name
Proximity or Backshelf refers to the close proximity of the hood with
respect to the cooking equipment. In addition, Accurex proximity hoods
have an optional plate shelf and/or pass-over enclosure to meet your varying
design requirements.

Filtration Options A variety of filtration options are
available with increasing grease extraction efficiencies
to suit specific needs. See Filtration Option section for
more detail.
External Supply Plenums* Several supply
plenum options are available to supply air back to
the spaceevenly. See External Supply section for
moredetail.
Continuous Capture*
Provides a UL Listed
bolted connection
allowing end to end
hoods to be connected
and appear as
onehood.
Material Options* Standard construction is stainless
steel where exposed and galvanized steel in the
unexposed plenum. 100% stainless steel construction is
available. Either option is available in 300 series or 430
stainlesssteel.
Lighting Options* Multiple lighting
options are available. Incandescent
fixtures are standard. Recessed
incandescent and 2-, 3-, or 4-foot
recessed fluorescent and LED
fixtures are also available. All fixtures
are vaporproof and UL Approved.
LED lighting provides a bright, warm
light for cooking and a significantly
longer operating life. LED lights
save up to 95% in electrical costs
when compared to using standard
incandescent lights in a kitchen
hood.
Tapered Hood* For low
ceiling applications, tapered
fronts are available in 18-,
15- or 12-inch heights.
15- and 12-inch tapers
require a 12-inch overhang
on all exposed sides.
Exhaust Collars
Ship Loose Shipping exhaust collars loose provides
an exhaust collar to be used, but no exhaust cutout
in the hood. This enables the contractor to locate
and cut the exhaust opening where desired when not
known ahead of time.
Shape To accommodate various ductwork, several
sizes of rectangular and round collars are available.
Location* Top or back placement for mounted
exhaust collars can go anywhere within the
plenumarea.
Supply Collars
Additional Collars* To keep supply airflow
velocities around the hood low, additional supply
collars can be added for higher supply cfm amounts.
Shape (Round or Rectangle) To accommodate
various ductwork, different sized collars are
available on most supply plenums in both round and
rectangular forms.
Ceiling Enclosure When the top of the hood is
mounted lower than the
finished ceiling height,
enclosure panels can be
provided in 300 series
or 430 stainless steel to
match your hood. These
enclosures create an
aesthetically pleasing finish.

End Skirts* End skirts
are available in both full
and mini configurations
and are constructed with
either 300 series or 430
stainless steel to match
the hood. End skirts can
lower required exhaust
rates as they improve
capture.
Airspace/Filler Panels
To assist with
clearances to
combustible
surfaces, stainless
steel airspaces can
be supplied. These
panels can also be
used to fill in open
spaces and/or improve aesthetics.
Zero Clearance* Our
clearance reduction
system utilizes a
one-inch wide (thick)
insulating material
on the front, back,
sides and top of the
hood as needed.
This provides great value, especially in retrofit building
applications allowing new hoods to be mounted closer
to combustible surfaces such as cabinetry and wood
roof trusses while satisfying both safety standards and
codes.
Exhaust Air Balancing Bafes* To help balance
exhaust airflows between multiple ducts or hood
sections being
exhausted through
one duct line. Air
balancing baffles
can be mounted at
the exhaust collar
openings which allow
the exhaust opening to
be closed up to 50%.
Switches* Switches can be shipped loose for remote
mounting, mounted on the hood face, or in the utility
cabinet.
Finished Back* With most wall canopy hoods,
hanging is done against a wall making the need for an
aesthetically pleasing finished back unnecessary. For
instances in which the back is visible, the same finish as
the other three sides of the hood can be provided.
Insulated Supply Plenum* With some plenums,
condensation can occur from bringing in cold air near
to where hot air is being exhausted. By insulating these
plenums, problems with condensation are alleviated.
This also helps prevent cooler incoming air from being
heated by warmer exhaust air.
Automatic Fire Damper* In areas where exhaust fire
dampers are required, a UL Listed motorized butterfly
damper can be installed in the exhaust collar that closes
at 285F.
Utility Cabinets Hood
Mount/Wall Mount* Utility
cabinets for fire system and/
or control mounting can be
attached to the left or right
side of the hood. Remote
(wall mount) cabinets are
also available.
Filter Removal Tool* Used to enable
operators to safely reach and remove filters
from the hood while standing on the floor in
front of appliances.
Trim Strips * Stainless steel strips that can be used
anywhere hood sections meet to improve aesthetics.

Accurex is the industry leader in grease ltration as veried by testing to ASTM F2519-2005 standards. This is
crucial to the restaurant owner/operator because the grease generated by restaurant kitchens pose many problems;
frequent duct cleaning, rooftop grease problems and compliance with tougher air emissions standards. Accurexs
offering of innovative lter designs attack the problem at the source at a fraction of the cost of other grease removal
devices or electrostatic precipitators.

Grease Dened
Total kitchen exhaust includes all grease particulate sizes as well as grease vapors. Grease is the by-product of
commercial cooking processes that must be extracted from the efuent airstream via the kitchen ventilation system.
Grease can be broken down into three different categories:
Submicron particles: Produced when a drop of grease or water comes in contact with a hot surface and
immediately burns off. Particle sizes range from .03 to .55 microns (smoke).
Steam: Grease covered moisture and air mixture is produced by the long burning of cold or frozen food on a hot
cooking surface. Particle sizes range from .55 to 6.2 microns.
Spatter: Larger more visible effluent that is produced during the cooking process. Particle sizes range from 6.2 to
150 microns.
Research and testing has determined that a signicant concentration of grease particles can be found in the
submicron and steam phases. Most currently applied grease extraction devices remove very large grease particulate
that is 10 to 150 microns in size (spatter phase), but are not capable of removing ne particulates that are found in
the submicron and steam phases.
What is in my Kitchens Exhaust?
Spatter
6.2 to 150 microns
Submicron
less than .1 microns
Steam
.5 to 6.2 microns
Testing of Grease Extraction Devices
Older tests designed to test the efciency of a grease lter did not effectively portray the full range of particles
produced during the cooking operation. This led to development of a new test standard ASTM F2519-2005. This test
shows the entire spectrum of the lter's efciency from 0.3 to 100 microns. The efciency is expressed as a graph
similar to a fan curve rather than using one percentage to cover all size particles.
ASTM F2519-2005 Standard Test Method for Grease Particle Capture Efciency of Commercial Kitchen Filters and
Extractors is the rst universally accepted test method in the commercial kitchen ventilation industry that covers
efciency testing of both removable lters and xed extractors such as water wash hoods.
ASTM F2519-2005 tests generate a controlled quantity of particles in size ranges from .3 to 10 microns that
are released into a kitchen hood to represent the cooking efuent. The particles are then sampled and counted
downstream in the ductwork with an optical particle counter with and without the extractor in place. These are used
to calculate the fractional efciency graphed versus the particle size.
The efciency graphs that Accurex uses reect the test methods used in ASTM F2519-2005.

The Grease Grabber dual-stage ltration system uses the Grease-X-Tractor
along with the Grease Grabber lter to remove 100% of the grease particles, at
5microns and larger, out of the airstream. The Grease Grabber filter is designed
for heavy-duty grease applications.
How it works:
The Grease-X-Tractor is the primary lter that removes large grease particles
using centrifugal force.
The Grease Grabber is the secondary lter that uses a -inch packed bead
bed to remove the small particles of grease that are not removed by the

The Grease-X-Tractor filter is the ideal lter for medium grease loading applications. The
design of the lter gives the lter great strength and makes it the best re barrier in the
industry as well as removing 69% of the grease particles at 8 microns.
How it works:
The Grease-X-Tractor filter consists of individual vortex chambers having air inlets at
the top and bottom front of the filter.
Air travels in a helical or corkscrew like path through the filter
chambers, subjecting the grease particulate to centrifugal
force.
Grease collects on the interior walls of the filter, where it
drains into the hood grease trough and grease cup.

The previous charts show the amount of grease that is extracted by a typical bafe lter, cartridge lter, Accurexs
Grease-X-Tractor, and Accurexs Grease Grabber ltration system. The charts also show the amount of grease that
passes through the lter and into your exhaust duct, exhaust fan and onto your roof.
This data was gathered by a third-party testing agency while cooking beef patties on a griddle. The cooking of beef
patties on a griddle yields the largest mass of grease particles at ~18 microns in size and the smallest at ~.2 microns
in size (human hair ~100 microns).
The blue area represents the amount of grease that passes through the lter. The green area represents the amount
of grease extracted by the lter. The more green area there is, the more grease that is extracted at the lter. The
orange efciency line shows the efciency of the lter for a specic particle size.

External Supply Plenums
Model Overview
Make-up air can be introduced several ways, including through-the-hood with an integrated supply plenum
or an external supply plenum. External plenums positioned around the perimeter of exhaust only hoods are a
great alternative to integral supply plenums. Unlike integral supply plenums, they do not sacrice valuable hood
containment area. They can also be retrotted to almost any hood and are generally less expensive than integral
plenums. Accurex offers four external supply choices - Air Curtain Supply Plenum (ASP), Horizontal Supply Plenum
(HSP), Variable Supply Plenum (VSP), and the Back Supply Plenum (BSP).
Standard construction features:
18 gauge 430 stainless steel
Perforated discharge panels (23% open)

External Supply Plenums
Model Comparison
Air Curtain Supply Plenum (ASP)
Air curtain supply plenums are typically used in non-tempered
or heat-only applications, depending upon climate (can be
used as an efcient method for spot-cooling).
Air curtain supply plenums introduce the air near the hood
to minimize mixing with air in the space
A series of perforated panels evenly distribute air at lower
discharge velocities which benefit hood capture and
containment
Easy and flexible installation
Mounted 14-20 inches above the bottom edge of the
hood or flush with a drop ceiling
External plenums can be placed on multiple sides of the hood to create a curtain of air on all exposed sides and
increasing the volume of air brought in at the hood
The ASP is 14 or 24 inches wide by 10 inches high
Horizontal Supply Plenum (HSP)
Horizontal supply plenums are typically used in fully tempered air applications since the air will mix with the air in the
surrounding space.
Make-up air is introduced horizontally through the face of the
external supply plenum via perforated panels in a manner
that does not interfere with the cooking operations
beneath the hood(s)
Perforated panels are located on the face of the external
supply plenum to limit the throw to within several feet of
the hood(s) and maintain laminar flow
Easy and flexible installation
The HSP is typically mounted flush with the top of the hood
The HSP is 12 inches wide by 18 inches high

[ 30 ]
External Supply Plenums
Model Comparison
Variable Supply Plenum (VSP)
The variable supply plenum is a versatile plenum combining the features of the face
and air curtain supply plenums.
Make-up air is supplied horizontally through the face and
vertically through the front perimeter via perforated panels
in a manner that does not interfere with the cooking
operations beneath the hood(s)
Easy and flexible installation
Manual damper is included in the plenum to modulate
airflow between the face and air curtain allowing 0 to 50
percent through the air curtain and 50 to 100 percent through
the face
Best suited for cooler climates where outside air can be used to cool
the kitchen (although either tempered or non-tempered air can be used
depending on climate and comfort goals)
The VSP is 12 inches wide by 18 inches high
Back Supply Plenum (BSP)
Back supply plenums are typically used in non-tempered or marginally
tempered applications, and these plenums are also ideal for heating
air during the colder months since hot air will rise from its low
discharge position.
An effective way to introduce make-up air into the kitchen
is from the rear of the hood through a back supply plenum
(double layer of perforated panels allow for well-distributed
low-velocity airflow at discharge behind and below the cooking
battery)
Back supply plenums also function as a backsplash panel and
provide the proper clearance to limited combustibles needed in
many installations to meet NFPA 96 standards
Easy and flexible installation
This plenum directs airflow through perforated panels behind and
below the cooking equipment without affecting capture and containment,
cooking surface temperature, or pilot lights
When using non-tempered air, utilizing low air velocities will keep the air
near the hood
These plenums are 6 inches deep and stretch the entire length of the hood
and discharge at 31.25 inches above the finished floor

because we understand your needs, we provide many options to match your systems needs.
Fan Control Center
Accurexs fan control center manages all of the various power connections and relationships between the hoods,
fans, make-up air and lighting from a single source. This makes controlling your kitchen systems much easier through
one-stop control.
Vari-Flow Demand Controlled Ventilation
We realize that cooking loads vary throughout the day. Rather than having a fan and make-up air run constantly, all
day long at 100%, we offer a variable volume ventilation system that tracks the cooking load and varies the exhaust
and supply rate based on need. Thus, reducing operating costs primarily through decreasing temperature loads and
energy required to move air.
Temperature Interlock
Accurexs temperature interlock is designed and installed to automatically activate the exhaust fan(s), if not manually
started, whenever cooking operations occur. The temperature interlock activates the fan(s) when cooking exhaust
reaches the preset temperature. This control satisfies IMC code 507.2.1.1. It is also an option on our fan control
center and standard on variable volume controls.

Digital Temperature Interlock
The temperature interlock is designed to automatically start the kitchen hood exhaust fans and keep them running
while heat is being generated from the cooking appliances. The interlock will override the switch and start the
fans once heat is detected in the event an operator fails to turn on the fans manuallyensuring safety and code
compliance. These systems are available as a stand-alone control or as an integrated option in our other pre-
engineered controls.
Easily Adjustable - Digital Temperature Interlock adjusts
the temperature set point through an accessible digital
display or thermostat control utilizes a sensor with set
dial screw on the back to adjust the temperature. This
can be advantageous when trying to control several
sensors, as they can be connected in parallel back to
one small control
Versatile - Use with both Type 1 and Type II hoods
Automatic Activation - Exhaust fans start when cooking
equipment generates heat
Quick Installation - Pre-installed or shipped ready for
installation
Cycling Prevention - Prevents fan from cycling on and off during variable cooking periods by use of temperature
delay control, which keeps exhaust fans running until temperature drops below and remains below a given set
point.
Automatic Shut Down - Turns off exhaust fans automatically once the temperature has dropped below the safety
set point and remains there.
Efficient - Maximize efficiency by using one temperature interlock package per hood system (each temperature
interlock activates all fans linked to system simultaneously)

Saving energy is as simple as recognizing that cooking loads vary throughout the day. Accurexs Vari-Flow Controls
detect these changes in cooking activity and modulate the exhaust and supply air based on demand, thereby saving
energy and reducing operating costs.
The Accurex Vari-Flow Air Management System utilizes strategically placed heat sensors to effectively monitor the
cooking operation and quickly adjust airow to meet the demand. Reducing energy during slower periods of the day
reduces electrical energy consumption and decreases heating and cooling loadsall signicantly reducing operating
costs. See Figures 1-3 on the next page.
Features Exceptional Turndown
Industry-leading turndown capabilities on both exhaust and tempered make-up air of up to
50%, resulting in up to 90% electrical savings and additional heating and cooling savings.

exhaust fan speed, to ensure proper room pressurization at all times.
Melink

Intelli-Hood

The Melink

Intelli-Hood

uses both heat sensors and optic sensors to monitor the cooking
operation and modulate the airow. The optic sensors provide additional control, especially
in large cooking batteries containing steamers, kettles and other similar appliances that
produce a lot of smoke or steam.
Product Features & Advantages:
Optic Sensors - In addition to a primary temperature sensor in the duct collar, the
Intelli-Hood system includes optic sensors to sense steam and/or smoke being
generated from the cooking process. When as little as seven percent of the optics
infrared beam is blocked, the exhaust fans are sent to full speed to capture the effluent.
Professional Service - Melink includes a factory start-up with the purchase of their system. This start-up
includes a site visit from a Melink field technician to ensure that the system is installed correctly and programmed
based on the application. The technician will also provide basic training to operators present during the start-up.
Control Large Systems - The system is designed to easily handle larger systems and can be easily programmed
and monitored from its keypad control.
Increased Savings - Reduces airflow by 50% or more during idle cooking periods generating more electrical,
heating and cooling savings.

Grease Grabber
Pollution Control Units
With the increasing size of the urban landscape, the focus on clean air, and multi-use buildings, restaurant odor control
and grease control play an increasingly important role in commercial kitchen exhaust systems.
No one wants their apartment or hotel room smelling like the restaurant below or their windows smeared from greasy
kitchen exhaust air. In addition, restaurants on the ground oor of a high rise building need a cost-effective way to
discharge closer to ground level to prevent having to run duct work for many stories.
Accurexs Grease Grabber Triple Play and Power Play products are specically designed to eliminate both smoke
and grease particles from your kitchen exhaust system, and odor control modules eliminate or reduce odors to
acceptable levels.
Triple Play
The Grease Grabber Triple Play uses a 3-stage
mechanical lter arrangement to clean grease and
smoke particles from the exhaust air at a low up front
cost. Independent pressure switches signal when any of
the three lter stages need replacing, taking the guess
work out of maintaining the equipment. The Grease
Grabber Triple Play incorporates activated carbon
panels to remove odor molecules prior to discharging
the air, reducing the impact of kitchen exhaust to the
surroundings.
Power Play
The Grease Grabber Power Play electrostatic precipitator
is the best available technology when it comes to kitchen
pollution control. It provides optimum performance
with low operating costs. The permanent electrostatic
collector section removes grease and smoke particles
from the airstream. Additionally, the integrated self-
cleaning sequence, initiated by the system controls,
readies the Power Play to go to work again without the
time and expense of replacing lters. The Power Play
incorporates activated carbon panels to remove odor
molecules prior to discharging the air, reducing the
impact of kitchen exhaust to the surroundings.
