Ecology Units are ventilation unitsthat are recommended to be used before the evacuation process to be carried out to the atmosphere by the exhaust systems built in the kitchens, and that clean oil, bad odour and heat by using electrostatic filters and active carbon filters.

Our changing lives, the increase in mixed life projects and the necessity of eliminating the air quality problems that came into question due to the above-mentioned mixed life projects make the use of these units more and more common day by day.

In mixed life projects, the release of exhaust wastes by present dining areas to the atmosphere is not tolerable.Similar problems are matters of fact even for restaurants located in open areas. For this reason, the use of units with advanced filtration features in kitchen exhaust systems of all enterprises providing catering services become important for
the sake of the environment. Therefore, serious restrictions have been imposed on this issue all over the world

AIt is aimed by the European Council to replace the low energy-ecient products that are already present on the market with high-eciency ones. And, prepared ECO-DESIGN Directives -together with mentioned dates-are considered as prerequisite terms for CE Certification and the entry of non-compliant units to EU Countries is restricted.

By first passing the air sucked from the hood through a washable metal filter, it is ensured that large oil particles are captured. The Ionizer charges the pollutant particles in the air with a negative electrical charge. Then, as the airflow passes through the collector, negatively charged pollutants adhere to the positively charged plates while being repelled by the negatively charged plates. This collector should be cleaned at certain periods and can be used again. In order to solve the odour problem, active carbon filters are used in the unit. The issue to be considered in this regard is the length of the Contact Duration. Dierent carbon contact times should be taken into consideration for dierent kitchen types.

Ensuring Control on Oil and Odor


Low Intensity/Density

Standard kitchen exhaust fans are sucient without the need for additional filters.

Medium Intensity/Density

Carbon filtration with a Contact Duration of at least 0.1 seconds following the electrostatic separator

High Intensity/Density

Two-stage electrostatic separator followed by carbon filtration with a minimum Contact Duration of 0.2 seconds

Very High Intensity/Density

Two-stage electrostatic separator followed by a UV Ozone System with a minimum Contact Duration of 0.2 seconds; or, two-stage electrostatic separator followed by carbon filtration with a minimum Contact Duration of 0.4 seconds
