Compliant duct cleaning systemEN 16282
How The Compact packages complies with the kitchen exhaust norm
The new standard have put strict rules to safe-guard against nitrogen oxide(NOx) and nitric acid (HNO3) build-up in the extract air. Indeed, air-fed ozone generators not only produces ozone by using the oxygen in the ambient air, but in the process also produces nitrogen oxide. By letting nitrogen pass through the ozone generation technology it leads to nitric acid formation.
The Compact has a built-in oxygen concentrator that only lets oxygen pass through the system which eliminates the hazard of nitrogen oxide production and tackles the issue at its roots.
Furthermore the EN 16282 standards demands strict quality requirements and further improved safety protocols.
Overview: EN 16282 standards
Requirements for purification technology
For safety reasons components in the air stream shall be capable of withstanding a constant temperature of at least 60 °C. Cooling may therefore be required of extracted air.
The installation shall be easy to access for the purposes of maintenance and cleaning work
Components in contact with ozone should be made in suitable materials
If ozone is released at ground level, concentrations shall be below the applicable limit values
If ozone sensors are used, they shall be labelled “OZONE SENSOR” and have a unique traceable calibration certificate
- Connections between the ozone generator and the grease duct must be labelled “OZONE” every ten metres
New requirements for ozone generators
Installations, repair and maintenance shall be carried out by personnel trained by the manufacturer.
The ozone generator must only be operated when the exhaust fan is running
Suitable equipment, such as flow/pressure sensors, shall ensure that ozone is not released into the building. If the system sis equipped with a pressure sensor, it needs to be set up so that the ozone system is shut down should the pressure drop below 20 Pa
- Inspection hatches on the grease duct mist carry a visible warning sign: ”WARNING – Ozone Treatment”
