摘要： A double-fan apparatus for use in combination with an exhaust hood adapted to be mounted over a cooking appliance in a kitchen. The fan has an upper impeller section and a lower impeller section each of which is a centrifugal impeller. There is a conduit to pass grease-laden fumes upwardly from the exhaust hood to the lower impeller section, and a conduit to conduct makeup air downwardly from the double fan to the hood. The double fan includes relationships by which the makeup air passes generally horizontally from the ambient atmosphere to the upper impeller section, then flows generally horizontally from the upper impeller section to the peripheral regions of the double fan, and then flows downwardly to the conduit connected to the hood. A grease trap is built into the double fan to prevent upward flow of substantial amounts of grease.

摘要： An apparatus and method are disclosed whereby both the inlet and exhaust plenums may be very "wide" (long), yet low in profile, economical to construct, and have very small tendencies to collect or be plugged with grease, while still achieving the important requisite of substantially uniform flow across the entire "width" (length) of the apparatus. One set of baffle or constrictor means is provided in the inlet plenum at regions between the inlet duct and the "sides" (ends) of such plenum. Another baffle or constrictor means is provided in the extended exhaust plenum, at regions between the exhaust duct and the central region of the grease-filter means. The respective baffle or constrictor means are relatively adjacent the ducts. The baffle or constrictor means are preferably fixed or adjustable baffles, or indentations (dimples) in the walls of the plenums. In one embodiment, an air-blocking plate is provided at the air-inlet throat on each "side" of the apparatus.In accordance with additional embodiments, blower means are incorporated in at least one of the plenums, thus resulting in substantial economies, increased compactness, ease of installation, etc.

摘要： The grease hood has a small dimension in the front-to-rear direction, and encloses a relatively large vortex the maximum vertical dimension of which is about equal to or greater than the maximum horizontal dimension thereof. The maximum diametral dimension of the vortex in a direction generally perpendicular to the grease-filter means is about equal to or less than the maximum diametral vortex dimension in a direction generally parallel thereto. In one illustrated embodiment, the vortex is generally circular, whereas in a second illustrated embodiment the vortex is generally elliptical and vertically elongated.The grease-filter means in one illustrated embodiment is not planar but instead is curved, the curvature cooperating with the curvature of the vortex liner to permit achievement of benefits including relatively small size of the grease hood. More specifically, the curved filter is associated with the vortex liner of generally circular shape in such one embodiment.The preferred filter means are of novel construction for maximized filtering efficiency, and are adapted to be associated with electrostatic means to provide combination electrostatic and centrifugal-impingement filtering action. The cross-sectional shape of the filter means is such that the air and fumes first flow rapidly, then slow down and reverse direction, then speed up again, and then slow down and again reverse direction.Both the front panel and the vortex liner are adapted to open in order to permit removal of the filters in an easy manner for cleaning or other purposes. Thus, the front panel opens, and the vortex liner is movable away from its normal operating position, in order that straight, simple access to the filters may be achieved.Because the hood has the small dimension in the front-to-rear direction, it may be mounted at a very low elevation above only the rear portion of a cooking appliance disposed therebeneath. Furthermore, it may be introduced into the kitchen through a relatively small opening in the ceiling or roof.

摘要： A broiler having a cabinet and the usual grill for holding chicken or the like being broiled, several spaced-apart gas burners positioned below the grill in the cabinet and a section of angle iron, serving as a radiant, mounted over each of the burners. A heat sensor is positioned just under the grill and connected with a thermostat which has an attached regulator knob calibrated to permit different temperature settings for the cooking zone at the grill. The burners are fed fuel through a gas manifold provided with an aspirator to adjust the fuel-air mixture for optimal combustibility of the fuel. Each of the burners is provided with a pilot orifice element, which, in turn, is connected with a common aspirator to insure an optimal mix or fuel and air for pilot light purposes. When the broiler is in operation, the regulator knob is adjustable to a predetermined setting for a desired temperature level at the grill. The burners heat the radiants which then give off radiant heat to cook the chicken or other meat placed on the grill for that purpose. Since the radiants are spaced apart, most of the drippings from the cooking meat fall between them, rather than on their surfaces to burn and create smoke, bounce onto neighboring burners to plug their openings, etc.

摘要： Heat shield and ventilation system for a pizza oven uses cooling air drawn mainly from the outside, which is directed around all four sides and over the top of the pizza oven by a heat shielding shroud that covers the top, back and ends, but leaves the front of the oven free for access to the doors that extend across most of the oven front. The shroud side panels are provided with deflectors that redirect air to flow forwardly along the oven sides to cause it to follow in a path flowing laterally inwardly and upwardly along the oven front, providing a curtain of cooling air that mixes with and entrains the heated air at the oven front face to be drawn into an exhaust port at the center of the top of the oven front. The shroud provides both cooling air passages and passages for intake of combustion air into the oven burners and also provides passages between the oven and the shroud for flow of exhaust gases to be combined with the exhausted ventilation air which entrains the heated air from the exterior surface of the oven.

摘要： The entry or intake portion of a grease-hood system is mounted at a low elevation, far below the elevation of the head of the cook. Furthermore, such entry portion does not extend clear to the front of the cooking appliance disposed therebeneath, thus the cooking appliance protrudes outwardly from beneath the entry portion. The apparatus and method are such that the flow of fumes and air from the cooking appliance to the entry portion of the hood is substantially entirely the result of convection. There is, however, a forced flow in the hood system at a region above the entry portion, the forced flow being such that fumes and air are directed at the grease filter means. In the forced-flow portion of the system, air from outside the room is passed directly to the grease hood, and air and fumes which pass through the grease filter means are passed to a region exterior to the room and/or are recirculated back to the hood. There is a vortical flow of air and fumes in the forced-flow portion of the system.The system includes, in two of its embodiments, a plate shelf and/or a pass-through in combination with the grease hood.

摘要： A greatly extended plenum chamber, comprising a plenum or exhaust chamber and a plenum extension connected thereto, is employed in combination with grease filters which operate by impingement and by centrifugal action. Furthermore, a stream of air is directed against the upstream surfaces of the filters. The result of the combination is a surprisingly effective removal of grease and smoke from cooking fumes, with consequent minimization of grease coatings on the surfaces of the plenum chamber and of the exhaust blower connected thereto. When space does not permit vertical installation of a large extended plenum chamber, portions of such chamber may be inclined from the vertical and/or may be replaced by a plurality of smaller plenum extensions.In an additional embodiment, the effect of a very large plenum extension is obtained by a single and much smaller plenum extension. This is achieved by (a) using a duct (to the exhaust blower) which has a diameter larger than the depth of the plenum extension, and (b) placing a relatively small air deflector below the connection between such duct and the plenum extension.Other features of the apparatus and method include (a) a unitary construction which is substantially completed at the factory and is easily and unitarily installed at the job site by dropping it into a hole in the ceiling, and (b) an electrostatic precipitator which is sometimes employed where smog regulations are particularly stringent.
