General Description

Description
The kitchen fan control center, or KFCC, is a
pre-engineered package designed to control the
operation of fans in a constant volume kitchen. The
package consists of a cabinet encasing one or more fan
motor starters interlocked together for on/off operation.
Different fan, light and thermal switch combinations may
be provided to operate the kitchen hood fan(s), light(s),
and heating/cooling capabilities of the supply air. The
control center as a standard is equipped with additional
relays prewired to the fan starter(s). These additional
relays are capable of turning on the kitchen exhaust and
shutting down supply regardless of the present state of
the fans via integration of a fire system microswitch with
factory terminals. The control center can be equipped
with temperature interlock, designed to automatically
start kitchen fans and keep them running while heat is
being generated from the cooking appliances. Hood
systems should always be manually started before the
cooking equipment is turned on, but if forgotten the
interlock will safely trigger the fans to start once heat is
detected. Other options are available.
Purpose
The purpose of the KFCC is to provide a complete
control center equipped with fan motor starters. The
control center provides a common connection point
to interlock kitchen exhaust, supply, and hood lights
with the hood's fire suppression system. The cabinet is
pre-engineered with terminal blocks for most field wiring
connections. The control center can also be equipped
with interlock between the exhaust fans and cooking
equipment, as to meet International Mechanical Code
(IMC) 2015 Section 507.1.1. In this case, the system will
utilize a temperature sensor in the exhaust duct collar
or capture area in the hood to detect heat generated
from cooking operations and automatically activate the
exhaust fans if not already running.
Product Application
The KFCC is designed for both Type I and Type II
(grease and non-grease) constant volume hood
systems, where starters are needed to activate fans.
The control center can operate both single and three
phase fans. Greenheck recommends using one KFCC
per hood system (activates all fans simultaneously).
When temperature interlock is provided in this package,
it is not to be used in conjunction with exhaust fire
dampers.
