Summary of Test Method4.1 There are three predominant classes of
17、filters in kitchenventilation grease extraction systems: removable baffle filters,removable cartridge filters, and fixed extractors.4.2 Removable baffle and cartridge filters to be tested areinstalled into the test system.4.2.1 Identical filters to be tested are installed into astandard 4-ft canopy
18、hood connected to a nominal 12-in. roundduct exhaust system. The filters should fit tightly together andinto the opening and any bypasses larger than18-in. wide onthe ends are sealed.4.2.2 For fixed-extractor systems, a reference hood shall beused for testing conditions that call for no filters to b
19、e installedin the hood. Testing requires switching between the referencehood and the fixed extractor hood.4.2.3 A filter system to be used in a non-standard canopyhood is installed at the height of actual application above thefloor and connected to a nominal 12-in. round duct exhaustsystem.4.2.4 The
20、 static pressure drop across the filters is recorded atthe test airflow.4.2.4.1 For removable baffle or cartridge filters, the net filterpressure drop is determined by subtracting the pressure drop ofthe hood when the filters are removed from the pressure dropmeasured when the filters are installed.
21、 The total exhaustvolumetric flow rate must be equal in both pressure dropmeasurements.4.2.4.2 For fixed-extractor hood systems, the pressure dropis determined by subtracting the pressure drop of the referencehood when the filters are removed from the pressure dropmeasured on the fixed-extractor hoo
22、d. The total exhaustvolumetric flow rate must be equal in both pressure dropmeasurements.4.3 The total airflow rate through the exhaust system is setso that the volumetric flow rate through the filter under test isequivalent 250 cfm per linear foot (width) of filter (based onexternal filter dimensio
23、ns).4.3.1 Performance may also be evaluated at other airflows inaccordance with manufacturer recommendations (see Appen-dix X1).4.4 Balanced makeup air shall be provided at 75 6 5F and50 6 20 % RH.4.5 Particulate capture efficiency for removable grease filteror removable cartridges is determined by
24、comparing particleconcentration versus size in the exhaust duct with and withoutthe filters installed.4.5.1 Particulate capture efficiency for hoods with fixedextractors is determined by comparing particle concentration asa function of particle size in the exhaust duct with the fixedextractor hood a
25、nd the reference hood without the filtersinstalled.4.5.2 The test aerosol is oleic acid that covers a size rangefrom 0.3 to 10 m in diameter or as specified by themanufacturer. Efficiency shall be reported as zero from 0.3 mto the lower limit of the test conditions. Particulate concentra-tion measur
26、ements (as a function of particle size) are taken inthe exhaust duct using an isokinetic sampling probe and anoptical particle counter. The particulate capture efficiency isdetermined by taking the difference between the particleconcentration with and without the filters installed at eachparticle si
27、ze range set on the particle counter.5. Significance and Use5.1 The pressure drop results can be added to the pressuredrops of other components in an exhaust system to determinethe total exhaust fan pressure requirement.5.2 The particulate capture efficiency can be used withknown particulate size em
28、ission data for a cooking appliance-food product combination to determine the total mass of greaseparticles captured by the filter, the total mass of grease particlesthat pass through the filter, and the particle size distribution ofthe grease particles that pass through the filter.
