Auto Scrubber Hood Function

Accurex’s Auto Scrubber hoods are designed for three primary functions: · Capture and contain the effluent produced by the
cooking process. · Remove grease and other contaminants from the
airstream with either one or multiple stages of mechanical filters. · Wash the filters and other surfaces within the exhaust plenum to remove contaminants.
NOTE
The wash sequence of the hood is not designed for fire suppression and will not engage in the event of a fire.
NOTE
For information on the complete wash cycle, please refer to the Wash Sequence of Operation, pages 21 and 22.

System Components

Hood Weights

Hood
The hood is shipped from the factory pre-piped and ready to install. All wash components within the hood are complete and ready for connection to hot water, sanitary sewer drain and the electrical sources. If the Auto Scrubber Control Panel is mounted on the hood, wiring from the control panel to the hood lights, valves and sensors is completed by Accurex. All field plumbing and wiring must conform to plumbing and electrical codes.
Auto Scrubber Control Panel (ASCP)
The control cabinet contains the water and electrical components, including the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), that controls the wash sequencing and operations. The control cabinet also includes the detergent reservoir, detergent pump, and other water piping.
NOTE
Filters are shipped loose with the hood and installed in the field. To install the filters, perform the sequence of steps outlined on page 25 in reverse.
Backflow Preventer
A backflow preventer will be shipped loose with the ASCP and will need to be installed in-line with the hot water supply to the ASCP to prevent detergent from back-feeding into the building water supply. Plumbing instructions begin on page 13.
User Interface
The user interface will be either a keypad with LCD screen or touch screen. It can be mounted on the Auto Scrubber control cabinet, hood or shipped loose for remote mounting. It will provide a WASH button (WASH ON/OFF with touch screen), and a means of turning on/off hood fans and lights, if applicable. It also includes system alarm notifications to alert of any faults on the system, such as a low detergent alarm.

Prior to Installation

Prior to installation, check with the Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) on clearance requirements to structures surrounding the hood and other equipment. Verify there is enough space to safely lift the hood up into its operating position and enough clearance around the hood for components like fire system connections, hood lights, hood control components, plumbing connections, etc. Consider access for servicing the equipment and the different components when locating the hood.
The UL label located on the end panel on the inside of the hood will provide pertinent information regarding the hood installation. Information includes:

• Allowable cooking surface temperatures of the cooking equipment
• Front and side overhang requirements
• Minimum exhaust airflow requirements
• Hood lights load information and restrictions
• Filter information
• Fire damper fusible link replacement information, if applicable

Unpacking

Carefully remove the top of the crate and set aside all accessories in the crate such as backsplash panels, control packages, and boxes with loose parts. When removing the hood from the crate, place protective material on the floor next to the crate to avoid damaging the hood. Lift the hood only by utilizing the hanger brackets. Make sure the hood weight is evenly distributed. Slowly lift the hood out of the crate and place on the protective material.
NOTE If using straps, the straps should not interfere with plumbing on the top of the hood in an effort to prevent internal piping damage which could cause future leaks.

Hood Installation Overview

It is recommended that the protective plastic sheeting remain on the hood until fully installed to better protect the product from scratching and marking. Once removed, use stainless steel polish, such as BlueAway or equivalent, to clean the hood and/or remove marks or discoloration. Be sure to wipe with the grain and not against it.

1. If the hood is provided with filler panels, shipped loose, install them now. See page 7, Filler Panel Installation. Filler panels may be integral to the hood, which requires no additional installation.

2. If the hood is equipped with Clearance Reduction Methods, refer to pages 7 and 8 for special considerations with hanging the hood.

3. If the hood is provided with hood/duct sensors or thermostats that were shipped loose, install them now. See the Installation and Operations guide provided with the control panel.

4. If the hood was provided with either exhaust collars or supply collars that have shipped loose, it is recommended that the exhaust and supply openings are cut and collars are attached now, prior to hanging the hood. See Installing Duct Collars on page 8.

5. If the hood is provided with a back supply plenum (BSP) install it now. See page 9, Installing the Back Supply Plenum.

6. If possible, connect (weld) exhaust duct to the hood while on the floor, unless it prohibits the hood from being raised into place. For information on ductwork, see page 9, Ductwork.

7. At this point, drill holes in the building structural support system or utilize uni-strut to match up with the hanger bracket holes. Then slowly and evenly raise the hood into position and insert 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) diameter threaded rod (provided by others) between the hanger brackets and structure.
   The hood hanging height requirements are given on the UL label. Typical canopy hood hanging height will be 80 inches (198.12 cm) off the finished floor
   NOTE
   If the hood is supplied with ceiling enclosure panels, the height of the enclosures will typically be the distance from the ceiling to the top of the hood. Use this dimension to find the hood’s hanging height off of the floor.
   For questions regarding the supporting structure and its integrity, either the contractor or structural engineer needs to be consulted.
   NOTE
   All hanger brackets MUST be used and the hood must be properly supported while lifting to prevent damage or distortion to the hood. 6 Auto Scrubber
   NOTE
   Ensure the hood is hung evenly to prevent drainage problems. Provide adequate support so that the hood does not move in a manner that is unacceptable to the Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
   WARNING
   When mounting the hood or any components against the hood, never puncture or drill into the canopy unless otherwise instructed in this manual. Doing so will void the hood listing and warranty.

8. If the hood was provided in sections with the continuous capture option, once each hood section is hung, install this option now. See page 9, Continuous Capture Plenum Hoods.

9. If the hood was provided with any front or side external supply plenums (other than the back supply plenum), install these now. See page 10, Installing Front/Side External Supply Plenums.

10. Install the remainder of both the exhaust and supply ductwork. For further guidelines see page 9, Ductwork.

11. If the hood is provided with any backsplash/ sidesplash panels, install them now. See page 11, Installing Backsplash Panels.

12. If the hood is provided with any end skirts, install them now. See page 12, Installing End Skirts.

13. This is a Type I hood and it requires a fire suppression system. Once the hood(s) and ductwork are fully installed, appliance(s) are in place and walls are complete, the fire system should be completed.
    If the hood is provided with a full factorycoordinated fire suppression system installation, the certified fire system installer should be contacted at this time to complete the final hookups, testing and system certification based upon manufacturer’s specification and local fire codes.
    If the hood is equipped with pre-piping only, and/ or does not include fire suppression, it is the responsibility of a certified fire system installer to install, test and certify the system based upon manufacturer’s specification and local fire codes.

14. The Auto Scrubber Control Panel (ASCP), if shipped loose, will need to be installed at this time. Once mounted, plumbing and electrical wiring will need to be completed by the jobsite plumber and electrician. Typical site wiring responsibilities include wiring hood temperature sensors, hood lights, hood sequencing valves, fire suppression micro-switches, and fans (if applicable) to the control panel. Hood plumbing details are given on page 13-14, and hood electrical wiring details are provided on page 15-17
    Hood Installation Overview, continued

15. If the hood is provided with enclosure panels, install them now. See page 18, Installing Enclosure Panels.

16. Install the rest of the hood accessories provided. This may include grease filters or condensate hood baffles, grease cups, light bulbs (provided by others unless LED tube style), light globes, and trim strips.

Airflow Testing Procedure

Short Ridge Meter Components

For measuring exhaust airflow rates (cubic feet per minute = CFM), use a short ridge meter to measure velocities along the inlet slot of the hood. To ensure accurate data, all appliances should be on. Multiple locations need to be tested as outlined below to ensure an accurate reading.

To take velocity readings along the

Hood Length

length of the hood, the short ridge meter must be evenly spaced along the length of each door

48 to 69 inches 70 to 109 inches 110 to 139 inches

to provide two readings 140 to 174 inches

per door. Vertical

175 to 192 inches

placement of the short

ridge meter along the inlet slot is shown.

Number of Test Locations 2 4 6 8 10

After the appropriate number of readings have been taken from the inlet slot of the hood, an average reading can be calculated by summing the velocity readings and dividing the total value by the number of readings taken.
Sum of Velocity Readings Average Velocity =
Number of Readings
Next calculate the total hood airflow volume (CFM) by using the following equation:
Hood CFM = [(Length of Hood in inches x 3.398) x (Average inlet slot velocity x 3.6)] ÷144

NOTE
The constants 3.398 and 3.6 are factory derived for use with the Auto Scrubber hood.

Maintenance
Filters
The first or primary stage (baffle or Grease-X-TractorTM) filters and second stage (Grease GrabberTM) bead filters (if applicable) need to be inspected one week after start up, then once every two weeks to make certain the filters are positioned correctly (no gaps between filters) and that the wash system is adequately cleaning the filters.
To inspect the filters, remove all access doors. Each door is held in place with two cammed latch handles. Turn the handles and remove the doors. Images 1 and 2.

Capture Tank
The interior surfaces of the hood capture tank should be wiped down weekly.

Image 1

Image 2

Once the doors are removed the filters can be removed. If the hood contains second stage filters, these will also need to be removed. While holding the handles of the filter, push the filter up and lift the bottom of the filter out of its track. Then pull the filter out of the hood. Images 3, 4 and 5. Repeat this for all the second stage filters.

Image 3

Image 4

Image 5

Once the second stage filters are out, (Image 5) the first stage filters can be removed in the same manner. Image 6.

Image 6

Depending on the equipment under the hood, it might be easier to remove the filters from the left or right side. In that case, slide the filters towards the end that allows for easier removal.

After inspection, insert the filters back into the hood. Primary filters go in first, then the second stage filters (if applicable). After installing all the filters, make sure the filters are positioned correctly in the hood. There should be no gaps between the filters.

If for some reason the filters don’t seem to be getting adequately cleaned, or if the filters appear damaged, consult the factory.
