NDI Series

Advantages

• ETL Listed: ETL Listed for use over 400°F, 600°F and 700°F cooking surface temperatures, which provides flexibility in designing kitchen ventilation systems. ETL Listed to US and Canadian safety standards, ETL Sanitation Listed and built in accordance with NFPA 96.
• Capture and Containment: Insulated, double-wall rigid front and back have aerodynamic design that reduces radiant heat into kitchen, prevents condensation and provides exceptional capture and containment of cooking vapors. This is accomplished with the signature "mechanical baffle" on the front and back of the hood's capture area. Mechanical baffle provides a built-in wiring chase for optimal positioning of electrical controls and outlets on the front face of the hood without penetrating capture area or requiring external chase way.
• Convenient Design: Factory pre-wired lighting to illuminate the cooking surface is accessible from the bottom of the hood. Fitted with UL Listed, pre-wired, incandescent light fixtures and tempered glass globes (45" width and above) to hold up to a standard 100 watt bulb. Pre-punched hanging angles on each end of hood and additional set provided for hoods longer than 12'.
• Construction: Polished stainless steel on the interior and exterior of the hood enhance aesthetics. Fully welded and polished corners. Fabricated from Type 430 stainless steel with option of Type 304 available.
• Grease Extraction: All hoods come standard with stainless steel baffle filters and a deep grease trough which allows for easy cleaning. Captrate Combo® and Captrate Solo® filters are optional. Grease drain system with removable 1/2 pint cup for easy cleaning. Standard filter stops eliminate gaps between filters.
• Controls: Hoods can be equipped with modular utility cabinets and end standoffs. Optional listed light and fan control switches flush mounted and pre-wired through electrical chase way.
• Optional Make-Up Air: Make-up air can be supplied through optional front, back and/or side plenums (NDI Series with PSP or AC-PSP Accessory).

Performance

Recommended Duct Sizing: Exhaust - Based on 1500 FPM

Optional Vertical End Panels (VEP & WVEP)

ND-2 Exhaust Hood with Full Vertical End Panel

Wide Vertical End Panel (WVEP)

Gas Chase

Energy Savings

• VEPs provide improved capture and containment by directing effluents into the hood and blocking cross drafts
• Allows exhaust CFM reductions up to 18%
• Equivalent reduction in makeup air
• This saves on fan energy, make-up air heating/cooling energy
• Possible equipment downsizing, reduces upfront cost

Design

• Stainless steel matches hood finish
• Gas chase allows appliance lines to run between wall and end panel
• Double-wall insulated construction
• Adjustable feet
• May allow for a reduction in required side overhangs

Safety

• Encloses the hood area, preventing flames or embers from escaping
• Ensures equipment is not accidentally moved outside of the hood area
• Stainless steel construction for sanitation and longevity
• Legs raise bottom of panel off floor to allow room for cleaning
• Hemmed edges prevent sharp surfaces
• Wide Vertical End Panels (WVEPs) provide an increased level of heat containment and fire protection, especially useful for high radiant load appliances such as solid fuel

Options

Utility Cabinet: Listed for integral side mount and fabricated of same material as hood. Cabinet can house listed fire suppression system and listed, pre-wired electrical controls.

Perforated Supply Plenum: Provides low velocity make-up air for the kitchen and is discharged in front, side or back of the hood. Perforated diffuser plates allow for even air distribution and supply riser includes a volume damper for easy balancing. Side Perforated Supply Plenums can be added to optimize the air flow if necessary.

Enclosure Panels: Constructed of stainless steel. Sized to extend from hood top to ceiling, enclosing pipe and hanging parts.

End Panels: Should be used to maximize hood performance and eliminate the effects of cross drafts in kitchen. Units constructed of stainless steel and sized according to hood width and cooking equipment. Exposed edges hemmed for safety and rigidity.

Roof Top Package: Combination ETL Listed exhaust/supply air unit with factory prewired and mounted motors, trunkline and curb vented on exhaust side.

Separate Exhaust and/or Make-Up Air Fans: ETL Listed single exhaust fans, supply-air fans and curbs available.

Fire Suppression System: UL 300 fire suppression system.

Lighting: Compact Fluorescent or Halogen (45" width and above); Recessed Incandescent, Recessed Fluorescent or Recessed LED (72" width and above)
