The Developer worked with Halton on a previous food court and knew that Halton could help with some challenges on this, their flagship property/With 24 food service operators in the space, exhausting and controlling them was the biggest challenge. In addition, The Eaton Centre is in the heart of Toronto and the effluent had to be as clean as possible. The food court resides 3 levels below the street and the roof 9 stories above the street. With an existing infrastructure in place it would be cost prohibitive to run 24 separate chases to accommodate each tenant.
The initial design called for 7 separate Ecology units equipped with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD).
Multiple tenants would be on each Ecology. How do you control each tenant’s exhaust system based on their operational requirements independent of the each other? The answer was M.A.R.V.E.L.!
The number of duct chases was reduced to 7 from 24 and each tenant exhaust rate was automatically controlled based on cooking activity. A unique control algorithm was developed to ensure that all fire system interfaces were independently controlled as well.
The Capture Ray™ UV system was incorporated into the design to break down grease and keep the labyrinth of ductwork free of residual grease.
