1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC), the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable. Follow the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) in Canada.
2. The rotation of the fan wheel is critical. It must be free to rotate without striking or rubbing any stationary objects.
3. Fan motor must be securely and adequately grounded.
4. Do not spin fan wheel faster than maximum cataloged fan rpm. Adjustments to fan speed significantly affects motor load. If the fan RPM is changed, the motor current should be checked to make sure it is not exceeding the motor nameplate amps.
5. Do not allow the wires to kink or come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals. Replace immediately if damaged.
6. Verify that the power source is compatible with the equipment.
7. Never open access doors to a duct while the fan is running.
8. The precipitator contains safety electrical interlock switches at all maintenance access doors. Do not attempt to defeat these interlocks.
Receiving
Upon receiving the product, check to make sure all items are accounted for by referencing items shown on the packing list. Inspect each crate for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Notify the carrier if any damage is noticed. The carrier will make a notation on the delivery receipt acknowledging any damage to the product. All damage should be noted on all the copies of the bill of lading which is countersigned by the delivering carrier. A Carrier Inspection Report should be filled out by the carrier upon arrival and filed with the Traffic Department. If damaged upon arrival, file claim with carrier. Any physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of manufacturer.
Unpacking
Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity of each item have been received. If any items are missing, report shortages to your local representative to arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it is not possible that all items for the unit be shipped together due to availability of transportation and truck space. Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to only items on the packing list. Remove all other shipping/packing materials including fan tie down straps.
Handling
Units are to be rigged and moved by the lifting brackets provided or by the skid when a forklift is used. Location of brackets varies by model and size. Handle in such a manner as to keep from scratching or chipping the coating. Damaged finish may reduce ability of unit to resist corrosion.
Storage
Units are protected against damage during shipment. If the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately, precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility of the unit and accessories while in storage. The manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during storage. These suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to the user.
INDOOR Storage
The ideal environment for the storage of units and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a low humidity atmosphere which is sealed to prevent the entry of blowing dust, rain, or snow. Temperatures should be evenly maintained between 30°F (-1°C) and 110°F (43°C) (wide temperature swings may cause condensation and “sweating” of metal parts). All accessories (including the main control panel and the keypad/touchscreen user interface) must be stored indoors in a clean, dry atmosphere.
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To avoid "sweating" of metal parts, allow cold parts to reach room temperature. To dry parts and packages use a portable electric heater to get rid of any moisture build up. Leave coverings loose to permit air circulation and to allow for periodic inspection.
OUTDOOR Storage
Units designed for outdoor applications may be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary. Roads or aisles for portable cranes and hauling equipment are needed. The unit should be placed on a level surface to prevent water from leaking into it. The unit should be elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks so that it is above water and snow levels and has enough blocking to prevent it from settling into soft ground. Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation, sunlight, and space for periodic inspection. To minimize water accumulation, place all unit parts on blocking supports so that rain water will run off.
Do not cover parts with plastic film or tarps as these cause condensation of moisture from the air passing through heating and cooling cycles.
NOTE: The main electrical panel, if stored, shall be stored indoors only in a dry environment protected from the elements.
Inspection & Maintenance during Storage
While in storage, inspect equipment once per month. Keep a record of inspection and maintenance performed.
If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts, the source should be located and eliminated. At each inspection, rotate the fan wheel by hand ten to fifteen revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. Every three months, the fan motor should be energized. If paint deterioration begins, consideration should be given to touch-up or repainting. Fans with special coatings may require special techniques for touch-up or repair.
Machined parts coated with rust preventive should be restored to good condition promptly if signs of rust occur. Immediately remove the original rust preventive coating with petroleum solvent and clean with lint-free cloths. Polish any remaining rust from surface with crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil. Do not destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Wipe thoroughly clean with Tectyl® 506 (Ashland Inc.) or the equivalent. For hard to reach internal surfaces or for occasional use, consider using Tectyl® 511M Rust Preventive or WD-40® or the equivalent.
Removing from Storage
As units are removed from storage to be installed in their final location, they should be protected and maintained in a similar fashion, until the equipment goes into operation. Prior to installing the unit and system components, inspect the unit assembly to make sure it is in working order.
- Check all fasteners, set screws on the fan, wheel, bearings, drive, motor base, and accessories for tightness.
- Rotate the fan wheel(s), where applicable, by hand and assure no parts are rubbing.

Grease Trapper ESP System Function
The Grease Trapper ESP is an electrostatic precipitator pollution control unit (PCU), with an additional carbon filtration module designed for two specific functions:
- Remove smoke/grease particles from kitchen exhaust
- Remove odor from kitchen exhaust
NOTE: Grease Trapper ESP must be connected to a listed exhaust hood assembly and must be installed in accordance with local building codes, NFPA 96 and NEC.
A mechanical impingement pre-filter removes large airborne particles from the incoming airstream prior to reaching the ionizer cell. The permanent electrostatic collector section removes grease and smoke particles from the airstream using a high voltage ionizer cell(s). The ionizer imparts a positive charge on the grease and smoke particles as they pass. These particles are then repelled by positively charged plates and collected on negatively charged plates. Upon completion of each cooking day, a wash sequence is initiated for the self-cleaning function of the electrostatic cell and impingement modules via the control panel. The mesh mist eliminator filter prevents wash water from entering the carbon filtration section(s) of the unit.
NOTE: Do not use this unit for applications with high concentrations of water vapor, or other matter, that is highly conductive if condensed in the airstream. Heavy water vapor can cause continuous electrical shorting within the ESP cells, which does not allow the unit to collect cooking particulate and perform as designed.
There are two configuration options for the Grease Trapper ESP PCU’s. The standard unit will have two ESP modules and one carbon filtration section for use with light, medium and heavy duty cooking. For solid fuel applications which will contain a greater quantity of grease, smoke and odors, the solid fuel unit should be selected. The solid fuel unit will contain three ESP modules and two carbon filtration modules.
NOTE: This unit should NOT be installed in applications where incoming airstream at the inlet of the unit is capable of exceeding 130°F.
NOTE: Grease Trapper ESP is designed to remove sub-micron, airborne particulate generated from cooking processes. This system is NOT INTENDED to eliminate regular hood and ductwork cleaning and service. Improper care and maintenance of this system and associated hoods and ductwork may present a fire hazard.
System Components
NOTE: The installation criteria for each of the system components shown below should be considered when selecting a site for install. For further detail on installing the components, refer to the INSTALLATION section on page 7.
Unit Body
The unit body is shipped on mounting rails ready for installation. If the unit was ordered with an exhaust fan, typically the fan will also be mounted on the same set of rails as part of the PCU assembly. Unless specified and built for outdoor use, the PCU must be mounted indoors and be protected from weather. The unit should be easily accessible for service personnel. A one-inch water supply line and a two-inch waste water drain line is required at the unit for the system's wash function.
Power packs (power supply boxes) are attached to hinged cell access doors of the cabinet assembly which are wired directly back to the main control panel via quick connect plug and play cables. By default, these will be factory wired when the main control panel is mounted on the rails. The high voltage from the power packs is wired directly to the cells through a spark plug style cable passing through the unit via UL listed compression seals. Power supplies are self-protecting against overloads (which can be caused by contaminant build up that leads to short circuits in ionizer and collector sections) and are self-regulating from AC input voltage variations from 108 - 264 VAC.
ESP Cells
ESP cells will ship in a separate crate to protect them during shipping. Cell quantities for each stage are based on unit size.
Cells have an ionizer section and collector section. The ionizer section includes spiked ionizer plates that are charged with 12,000 VDC. The collector section includes alternating plates between ground (0 VDC) and 6,000 VDC potential. Cells are fed voltage through high voltage spark plug-style cables that are insulated from the unit housing. These pins contact brass plungers located on the side of the cell near the bottom.
Diagram Description (Universal Unit Cell): A diagram shows a universal unit cell with labels pointing to the Airflow Direction Indicator, Collector Section, Ground Spark Plug Connector, Collector Spark Plug Connector, Ionizer Spark Plug Connector, and Ionizer Section. It also illustrates how power is passed from cell to cell via brass plungers.
The total current to both the ionizer section and collector section is below 6 mA.
Impingement Filters / Mist Eliminator Filters / Carbon Trays
Impingement filters and mist eliminator filters will ship installed in the unit. Carbon trays will ship in a separate container. Filter quantities for each stage are based on unit size.
Each carbon filter is a 20 x 20 x 2 inch, 12 lbs., and contains coconut shell carbon, standard. Max designed velocity across each filter is 90 ft/min.

8. A minimum 12 inch clearance must be maintained between the top and 6 inches on each side and bottom of this unit and any combustible material.
9. Ensure the fan is located in an easily accessible area, of adequate size and clearance to allow for service or removal.
Ductwork Connections
Ductwork must conform to IMC and SMACNA guidelines. All factory-built grease duct needs to be constructed in accordance with ANSI/UL 1978 and should be manufactured and installed in accordance with their listing.
All field-built grease ductwork must be constructed in the following manner per NFPA 96, unless otherwise specified by the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ):
Materials - Ducts shall be constructed of and supported by carbon steel not less than 1.37 mm (0.054 in.) (No. 16 MSG) in thickness or stainless steel not less than 1.09 mm (0.043 in.) (No. 18 MSG) in thickness.
Installation - All seams, joints, penetrations, and duct-to-hood collar connections shall have a liquid-tight external weld.
Units intended for indoor mounting have an outlet mounting flange provided on the outlet of the fan. Outlet ductwork from the exhaust fan is required to be per the above mentioned methods unless otherwise specified by the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
NOTE: Ductwork should be properly insulated to prevent formation of condensation through temperature change. Condensation that occurs in ductwork will short circuit ionizing-collecting cells.
Cells and Carbon Trays
Open ESP cell and carbon tray access doors by turning and releasing all latches on the door.
Insert cells into the ESP module(s) in the units, making sure the airflow arrow stamped on each cell is pointing towards the fan. ESP cells should be pushed in by the next one in the row. For example, the second cell pushes the first cell, the third cell pushes the second, etc. The last cell installed should be no more than 4 inches (+/-1/8 inch) from the edge of the cell to the edge of the frame.
After inserting the last cell in a row, install the two (2) cell pushers to secure the cells. These pushers should be hanging from the above rack. Insert the cell pusher between the cell and the vertical c-channel of the cell rack, hooking the end of the pusher around the c-channel. Locate the pusher low enough on the c-channel that the attached wire is taut. Then, fasten the bolt until it's tight against the face of the cell. Repeat for each cell pusher on each row.
Insert carbon trays into the carbon module(s) in the unit. Make sure trays are inserted where gasketing material is orientated on the left and right hand side, NOT the top and bottom, so there is a seal against the filter next to them.
After all cells and filters are properly installed, re-latch unit doors by closing the door and turning the hand-latches until secured.
Plumbing Connections
NOTE: All water piping exposed to freezing temperatures must be trace heated and insulated to prevent damage to the unit.
Once all system components are installed, plumbing connections for the system can be made. It is recommended that plumbing connections be done prior to making electrical connections.
Locate a suitable indoor location for the mounting of the remote detergent control cabinet and remote detergent tank, within 8 feet of each other.
From the building, a 1-inch (refer to drawings) hot water line is required for connecting the wash system. Recommended water temperature is 140-180°F at 40 psi pressure. Refer to the chart for information on water and detergent quantity requirements. Install the quarter turn ball valve (by others) at the incoming water source to allow the water to be turned off for servicing. Next, install the backflow preventer (by others), and factory provided inlet manifold. Locate these items along the incoming water line in a location convenient for inspection/servicing, and within 30' vertical of the detergent control cabinet.

• Do not install fire piping in front of doors on module. Must have 36 inches of clearance.
Initial System Start-Up
- Verify unit is installed properly and all field water and electrical connections have been made.
- Check that all ESP cells have been installed properly. There is a directional arrow that indicates the direction of the proper airflow. If cells are not installed in the proper direction, the unit will not operate correctly.
- Close and properly fasten the doors on the unit to ensure the door limit switches are closed.
- Turn on electrical power to control cabinet and exhaust fan.
- Turn on fan disconnect.
- Turn on the disconnect switch on the PCU terminal enclosures to energize the power packs.
- Press the fan button on the user interface to start the fan. Some electrical arcing (audible snapping and cracking) is normal at initial power up as leftover debris in the duct and unit may occasionally get caught inside the cells. Arcing should subside after a short period of time. If arcing continues, reference page 35 for troubleshooting assistance.
- Check for alarms on the system controller. Correct any alarms that may be displayed (See page 14 for details).
- System should now be ready for operation.
- Turn on water supply.
- Prime the detergent pump. On the CAREL controller, navigate to Service > Wash Settings > "Prime Detergent Pump" menu screen. Changing "OFF" to "ON" will start the detergent pump. Monitor the detergent line and press the ESC key once the detergent reaches the hot water line. This will stop the detergent pump.
NOTE: As a safety precaution, the system will only operate in the NORMAL mode when the access doors of the unit are completely closed and the terminal box disconnect switch is in the ON position.
If the plunger of the safety switch on all of the doors is not fully depressed, the red FAULT light on the main controller (PLC) will illuminate and the unit will not start. Do not attempt to operate the unit with the access doors open or bypass the safety.
Sequence of Operation
The operation of the Grease Trapper ESP system falls into two main categories:
1. NORMAL: System collects smoke and grease particulate from the airstream.
The unit can be started by pressing the fan button on the user interface or by closing the remote run contact (terminals RE-1A and RE-1B). The remote run command is a contact that can be wired to the kitchen control panel, timeclock, or any other contact closure desired to call for the system to run.
NOTE: BOTH the keypad fan button needs to be disengaged AND the remote run contact needs to be open in order for the fan to shut off. A call for the fan to run will not allow for a wash to start, which will prevent the cells from being cleaned.
During normal operation, as the grease enters the unit, it will pass through an impingement filter that is designed to remove the large grease particles. After passing through the impingement filter, it will enter the ESP module(s) which will remove the grease particles and smoke from the airstream through a process of electrostatic precipitation. Upon leaving the ESP modules, the air then passes through a mist eliminator filter which stops water from entering the carbon filters during the wash down process and also helps protect the carbon filter section from grease build-up. The air then enters the carbon filtration section which removes the odors from the airstream.
Normal Mode
- Exhaust Fan - Running
- Main Solenoid Valve - Closed
- Detergent Pump - Off
2. WASH: System goes through cycles to clean and dry dirty ionizing-collecting cells
The wash cycle is recommended to be performed daily on the unit and uses an automated wash down sequence to remove the grease that has been collected on the impingement filters and ESP cells. The length of time and frequency of washing will be determined by the grease load in the airstream. The times shown are the factory settings but can be adjusted as needed based on site conditions.
The wash cycle can be started three different ways:
- User presses the wash button on the keypad or touch screen.
- An external wash contact is closed (terminals WS-1A and WS-1B).
- The controller can be set up to wash the unit automatically based on a schedule set up on the controller.
The wash sequence will wash each impingement and ESP module using the steps below. For units with multiple ESP modules, the wash sequence will repeat itself for each module with the exception of the drip dry and fan dry sequence. The drip dry and fan dry portion will start once all of the modules have completed washing and are used to dry the entire unit before placing it back into service. An optional, up to 2-hour delay between each module's wash sequence can be set on the controller to allow water heaters or grease interceptors time to recover between wash sequences.
Wash Override: The wash sequence can be stopped by pressing the wash button on the user interface. This will cancel the wash sequence and return the PCU to normal operation. When calling for a wash or during the wash sequence if the fan is turned on either by the fan button, remote fan enable contact, or the fire system is activated the wash sequence will stop and the exhaust fan will turn on.

- Green indicator on terminal enclosure illuminates, then turns off, then repeats: Power supply may not be providing correct voltage. Contact factory.
- Indicator lights (LEDs) not illuminating: Check wiring polarity or replace faulty LEDs/power supply.
- Power supplies operating (green), but cells not collecting contaminants: Check for insufficient connection between cells or plugs. Ensure spark plug style cables and cell pushers are properly installed.
- Cells not fully clean after completed wash cycle: Check detergent level, ensure correct detergent (Zep X701) is used, increase wash sequence times, or verify water temperature/pressure (140°F, 40 psi).
- Wash cycle won't start: Ensure fans are off, system is not in fire mode (check micro-switch wiring), and hot water shut-off valves are open.
- Unit not washing: Review wash history pages on controller for details on what might be preventing the wash.
