Equipment Installed At High Altitudes; Conversion Of Units - Dean D20 Series Installation & Operation Manual

2.6 Air Supply and Ventilation (cont.)
F. Adequate distance must be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer(s) to the lower edge
of the filter bank. Per NFPA Standards No. 96, a minimum of 45-cm (18-inches) should be
maintained between the flue(s) and the lower edge of the exhaust hood filter.
G. Filters and drip troughs should be part of any industrial hood, but consult local codes before
constructing and installing any hood. The duct system, the exhaust hood and the filter bank
must be cleaned on a regular basis and kept free of grease.

2.7 Equipment Installed at High Altitudes

A. The fryer input rating [kW/hr (BTU/hr)] is for elevations up to 610-m (2000 feet). For
elevations above 610-m (2000 feet), the rating should be reduced 4 percent for each
additional 305-m (1000 feet) above sea level.
B. The correct orifices are installed at the factory if operating altitude is known at time of the
customer's order.

2.8 Conversion of Units

Pressure:
1 mbar = 10,2 mm W.C. = 0,4-inch W.C.
20 mbar = 204 mm W.C. = 8-inch W.C.
1-inch W.C. = 25,4 mm W.C. = 2,5 mbar
Heat Input:
1 kW = 3410 BTU/hr
100 BTU/hr = 0,0293 kW
Temperature:
0° Celsius = 32° Fahrenheit
Temperature in degrees Celsius = (Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (F) – 32) x 0,555
100° Celsius = (212° Fahrenheit – 32) x 0,555
