KVF – Capture Jet™ hood with supply air (CE)

Halton Capture Jet™ hoods and ventilated ceilings are all suitable for LEED (1), BREEAM (2), DGNB (3), RE2020 (4) etc. projects, particularly when combined with M.A.R.V.E.L. airflow and energy optimization technology. They can be used in all closed, opened, or show kitchens, and in general, all food-producing environments..

The Capture Jet™ technology enables significant reductions in airflow rates leading to savings on construction costs, mainly due to the reduced size of ducts and HVAC equipment. It typically pays for itself upon the startup of the kitchen or within few months. The energy savings it generates then directly contribute to an increase in profitability, while the staff benefits from improved working conditions.

KVF hoods are also equipped with a low-velocity makeup air built into the front face.

Considerable energy savings

• The Capture Jet™ technology allows for up to a 40% reduction in exhaust airflow rates.
• The combination with M.A.R.V.E.L. airflow and energy optimization technology allows for reducing the exhaust volumes by up to an additional 44% on top of that of the Capture Jet™ resulting in up to a 64% total reduction.
• The energy savings on heating/cooling the makeup air then become massive (less air out, less air in!).
• The reduction of the draft risk and noise levels improves the working conditions for the staff.

Improved safety and maintenance savings

• KSA cyclonic aerosol separators are constructed of stainless steel in compliance with EN 16282-6. They are up to 95% efficient at capturing particles of 10 microns or larger.
• KSA separators also have a good efficiency-to-pressure loss ratio and are certified UL 1046, NSF, and LPS 1263.
• The filtration level achieved efficiently slows down the build-up of grease deposits in the exhaust plenums and ductwork that could otherwise constitute a serious hygiene and fire safety hazard.
• It also results in savings on the ductwork cleaning cost.

Other features and benefits

• Construction compliant with NF EN 16282-2 (5).
• HACCP (6) International certified.
• Integrated fan for the Capture Jet™ technology. No additional duct is required.
• Capture Jets are automatically switched off when the hood is not used or operates at a minimum airflow.
• Halton Skyline (HCL) LED culinary light provides the best visual comfort while contributing to further improve safety and energy savings.
• When extended to the whole kitchen and surrounding areas, the Human Centric version of Halton Skyline (HCL) directly contributes to chefs' and their teams wellbeing.
• Better capture efficiency and comfort for the staff thanks to a low-velocity diffuser built into the front.
• Exhaust airflow rates are determined using an EN 16282-1 based calculation method, which takes into account the loads of the cooking or dishwashing equipment, the makeup air strategy, the configuration of the hoods or ventilated ceilings, and their capture and containment efficiency.
• Capture and containment efficiency tested in accordance with the ASTM 1704 standard.
• Quick and easy commissioning. Hoods delivered "ready to install", with all accessories included, such as light fitting, T.A.B.™ airflow measurement taps, and dampers for quick balancing on-site.
• Sturdier and easier to clean (less parts and fewer joints). Stainless steel construction.
