Figure 2: Griddle testing.<br />
<strong>For</strong> an exhaust temperature-based system<br />
operating on a curve, exhaust airflow<br />
increased to the minimum idle rate of<br />
80% of design. After patties were placed<br />
on the griddle, the airflow increased gradually<br />
with the exhaust temperature and<br />
then fell as the temperature decreased<br />
near the end of the cooking cycle. Note<br />
that airflow was not at design for the entirety<br />
of the cooking process.<br />
When operating with a constant temperature<br />
setpoint of 100°F (38°C), the<br />
system was able to reach and maintain<br />
design airflow following placing patties<br />
on the cooking surface. However, the<br />
initial response was not as fast as obtained<br />
with the CAS.<br />
This test showed that the constant temperature setpoints of<br />
90°F and 130°F (32°C and 54°C) were not suitable for the application.<br />
With a 90°F (32°C) setpoint the system remained at<br />
design airflow at all times due to the setpoint being lower than<br />
the exhaust temperature, even at idle conditions. A site configured<br />
to operate in this manner was no different than having a<br />
standard canopy hood without DCV. The opposite was true of<br />

in both heat and cooking effluent spilling to the space.<br />
