RSPC -ESP

MODEL “RSPC-ESP”
POLLUTION CONTROL UNIT

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS AND DESCRIPTION

GENERAL: Furnish one (1) Gaylord ClearAir™ Pollution Control Unit model
number RSPC-ESP-_____ as manufactured by Gaylord Industries in accordance
with the following:
The pollution control unit shall consist of a smoke control section, odor
control section (optional) and exhaust fan section (optional) all built into a
common base as an integral unit. Smoke control shall be accomplished by
electrostatic precipitation (ESP). The unit shall be ETL listed to UL 867 and
UL710 and labeled.

SMOKE CONTROL SECTION: The smoke control section shall contain one
or more electrostatic precipitator (ESP) cells to remove smoke particles
from the air stream to a level no higher than 20% opacity when operated in
accordance with the operation and maintenance guidelines. The ESP cells
shall be of a floating plate design to eliminate plate warpage during high heat
operation. Each cell shall have nine (9) tungsten wires run perpendicular to APPLICATION
the air flow which will ionize the air stream. Spike type systems shall not be Specifically designed for the removal of smoke particles by electrostatic
accepted. The cells shall be positioned on slide tracks so that they may be precipitation for the removal of smoke and odor
easily removed through a hinged cell access door(s). For ease of handling, from the airstream of commercial kitchen exhaust systems.
individual cells shall weigh less than 54 lbs. There shall be removable, cleanable
debris screens located immediately upstream of the ESP cells and a moisture FEATURES
separator immediately downstream. An electrical panel mounted on the • Removes smoke particles by high voltage ionization using

ClearAir™ Unit is located on the roof or mechanical room immediately above
or within 50’ of the control cabinet.
A Sub Panel shall be furnished with the pollution control unit. The Sub Panel
shall be constructed of 18 gauge stainless steel, number 4 finish, with welded
