These Guidelines are to insure adequate
ventilation for an
indoor Electric Grtll. Indoor electric grills produce more smoke
than normal cooking and requires at least
410
CFM to provrde
adequate ventilation.
Less stringent ventilating requirements
can deviate from these recommendations.
HORIZONTAL VENTING
Figure two on page two shows a direct drscharge to the
outside through a wall rain cap. Due to the lower CFM rating in
this venting posrtion.
duct
must be ltmited to a maximum of 2
feet of 3% x 10 inch duct capped with a wall rain cap with a free
discharge area of at least 66 inches square. There should be no
bends in the connecting’duct between the hood and the wall
rain cap.
Figure Sshows an installation requiring more duct length. A
transition to round is used as close to the hood as possible t0
eliminate the restriction caused by the 3% x 10 duct. 4S” bends
should be used instead of 90° bends wherever possible.
VERTICAL VENTING:
figure one on page two shows an installation using 3 feet of
3% x 10 inch duct terminating in a roof rain cap. In table one we
see that 3 feet of 3% x 10 inch duct is the maximum length of 3% x
10 inch duct recommended.
For example, if the straight lengths of duct in Fig 9 total 9 ft.
the elbow is 45O and the roof rain cap has 113 in2 free area.
choose the duct size required. The 45i” elbow can be
approximated by dividing the equivalent duct lengths in Table2
by two.
Since
we already
have 9 ft. of straight duct, Tdble 1 tells us that
7’ dia. is too small. So we try 8” dia.
9 ft. Straight Duct
6 ft. Equivalent straight length of 45O elbow (8” Dia.)
15 ft.
Fifteen feat is over the maximum of 13 ft. for 8” dia. duct, so 8”
duct is to small.
Move to 9” dia. duct and run through the calculations again.
9 ft. Straight Duct.
7 ft. Equivalent straight length of 9” dia. duct for 45O elbow.
16 ft.
Sixteen feet is under the maximum of 25 ft. for 9” dia. duct, SO 9”
duct is a good choice.
