Details

The Ecovent is a novel odour control device specifically designed for fitting to ducting that carries odourous air extracted from commercial kitchens via extract canopies annd hoods. The unit is based on UV light and operates at 185nm and 254nm. The unit does not sit within the airflow so cannot get contaminated by the grease laden air in the duct. Moreover, unlike filter based solutions, it adds no additional pressure drop to the fans so operating costs of the extract system are minimised. It is also incredibly easy to install.

Features

Indoor Air Pollution Sources

The EPA in America says most indoor air has 2 - 10 times higher concentrations of harmful pollutants than outdoor air. Some organisations have reported inside pollution levels up to 100 times that found outside. The air indoors is the No. 1 environmental health risk.

Average The Room Is A Normal Residential Room, Office, Reception Area Or Similar, Where There Is Not Overly Crowded With People, Computer And Office Equipment.
Above Average There Are Factors That Contribute To Additional Heat Being Generated In The Room E.G. Strong Lighting, Overcrowding With People And Office Equipment, Conservatory Type Room, Or Flat Roofed Room.
High There Are Factors That Contribute To A High Heat Load In The Room. E.G. Commercial Cooking, Much Computer And Server Equipment, Switchgear, Temporary Building With Thin Walls And Flat Room, Plain Glass Conservatory.

Variable	Units	Notes/Guidance
System Airflow	M3/Hr	If you have it in cfm then multiply your cfm value by 1.7 to get m3/hr
Average Combined Pressure Drop Of Filters Of Higher Than F6 Efficiency	Pascals	F8 bag filters pressure drop - typical clean clean to dirty, 160 - 250 Pascals F9 compact filters pressure drop - typical clean to dirty, 160 - 350 Pascals H10 HEPA filter pressure drop - typical clean to dirty, 250 - 600 Pascals 9.8 Pascals = 1 mm wg, & 249 Pascals = 1 inch wg
Carbon Filters Pressure Drop	Pascals	For compact type carbons pressure drop between 100 - 150 Pa Bonded carbon panels typically 150 - 170 Pa Loose granular carbon panels typically 130 Pa
Annual Operational Hours	Hrs/Annum	8760 hours in a year If operating for 5 days a week, excluding public holidays, for 12 hrs/day = 3000 hrs
Cost Of Power	Pence Per Kwh	Huge variance in what different companies pay. heck your last bill to be sure, otherwise put in 10p
Fan Efficiency	(As Decimal Value, Eg 100%=1)	Would typically be around 60%, so if you don’t have specific information use 0.6
Fan Motor Efficiency	(As Decimal Value, Eg 100%=1)	Larger motors should be around 90%, so if you don’t have specific information use 0.9
