UVS GREASE & ODOR CONTROL DEVICE

Even the most efficient aerosol separators used in the exhaust hoods above the cooking and frying surfaces are not capable of separating fat molecules less than 5 microns. They continue to flow and contaminate the elements of the ventilation system. In order to prevent this, we recommend the R-FILTER. The wide spectrum R-FILTER UV lamps optimized for fat decomposition deliver the desired effect in short wavelength in two phases. The UV light in phase 1 (photolysis) breaks up the long-chain fat molecules and splits oxygen molecules (O₂) into two highly reactive single oxygen atoms (O). During phase 2 (oxidation) this single atoms combined with normal oxygen molecules (O₂) form ozone (O₃), which strongly oxidizes the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), eliminating odors and disinfecting the air. The single oxygen atom (O) reacts quickly also with the humidity of the exhausted air and produces highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which turn into the oxidation process with little reaction time and high efficiency. The final result is water vapor, carbon dioxide and a little harmless dust, which are removed with the exhaust air flow free of deposits. The ventilation duct remains practically clean and free of grease. The device is classified as an UV-device for the treatment of aerosol in commercial kitchens in accordance with the European standard EN 16282-8:2017.
