What is a REV LOW hood? The REV LOW hood is available in two types; a water wash and dry grease extractor. The water wash hood is automatically cleaned in place at the end of each cooking day. The REV LOW dry extractor is manually cleaned the dry extractor has inserts that are removed daily and washed in your dishwasher or pot sink.
The REV LOW Hood Model DD-B-F Figure 1 Optimizing the amount of air mixture that enters the core extractor slot is the key to the REV LOW system. The REV LOW hood must incrementally maximumize the amount of the air mixture that enters the slot and minimize the amount of roll back into the canopy as the total amount of the air mixture deviates along the length of the cooking lineup.
Low Heating Costs The Spring Air REV LOW Hood System is designed to minimize the net exhaust air from the building. Less net exhaust means less heating of fresh air or supply air into the building.
Model Number Designation The Spring Air Systems REV LOW Hood is available in three basic types 1. Continuous cold water spray/hot water wash - “C” 2. Hot water wash - “H” 3. Dry Ventilator - “D” Each type of hood provides varying degrees of grease extraction efficiency, automatic/manual wash, and exhaust fire dampers.
Water Wash REV LOW Hoods Automatic Wash: Type “C” and “H:” Ventilators SPRING AIR SYSTEMS ventilators are available with either automatic or manual wash systems. All water wash ventilators must be interconnected with a water wash control panel. The “C” and “H” ventilators have incorporated a water wash manifold into the high efficiency extractor.

Water Wash REV LOW Hoods TYPE “C” Core Extractors - Water Wash The SPRING AIR SYSTEMS type “C” core extractor has the highest grease extraction efficiency available in a water wash ventilator. The contaminated exhaust air enters the extractor slot A and flows through a transition zone to the VORTEX CHAMBER B.
TYPE “H” Core Extractors - Water Wash The SPRING AIR SYSTEMS type “H” core extractor is a high efficiency water wash grease extractor. The contaminated air enters the extractor slot A and flows through the transition zone to the VORTEX CHAMBER B.

42” (1067 mm) off the finished floor. A water line from a hot water tank is connected to the inlet of the water wash panel. An interconnecting water line is piped from the outlet of the wash panel to the 3/4” (19 mm) inlet of the REV LOW hood. A 2” (52 mm) drain on the hood is connected to an open hub drain and then to a grease interceptor.
Figure 15 TYPE “D” GREASE EXTRACTOR The SPRING AIR SYSTEMS type “D” core extractor is a high efficiency extractor. The type “D” core extractor removes grease, dirt and lint through centrifugal force. Removing the front access door and wiping the interior with a damp cloth manually wash the core extractor chamber.
WARNING The REV LOW method is an excellent guide to assist in calculating the TOTAL EXHAUST (TEX) volumes, but consideration must be made for the conditions within the kitchen. i.e. location of the hood to doors, windows, and pass through which might create a draft.
One excellent method of introducing makeup air is through a make up air plenum built into the ventilator. SPRING AIR SYSTEMS has two optional make up air arrangements; MP and MC. Directing the make up air through the exhaust hood ensures the correct quantity of make up air and good air distribution.
80% of the total exhausts air volume. A fire damper is located at the supply air inlet on top of the ventilator.
