If a traditional exhaust hood is not feasible for your kitchen, this Halifax VHSFN24 ventless hood system is a perfect solution! This self-contained hood lets you make virtually any space suitable for cooking without the ductwork and installation costs associated with normal ventilation, keeping your kitchen air clean and free of grease without requiring as much additional work to your facility. This can make it a great option for leased spaces, food courts, historic buildings, or anywhere a type 1 hood is required, but difficult to install. Its innovative design is rated to provide 750 CFM of exhaust, and it has triple-layer filtration with a stainless steel baffle filter to trap grease particles for disposal, a wire mesh filter to remove smoke and condensation, and a charcoal filter to reduce cooking odors.

This hood system doesn’t compromise on safety, either – an interlock feature ensures that the equipment under the hood cannot be operated unless the hood is also turned on, and a color-coded lighted alert system lets you know that it is running safely and efficiently. Fire suppression system and chemical are sold separately, but it comes ready for field installation of an Ansul R-102 wet chemical system. Installation must be performed by an Ansul distributor.

The hood frame is made from 18-gauge stainless steel, with removable side panels that make cleaning a breeze. Casters are also included (the front casters can swivel and lock) to make moving and installing the hood easier. This system is designed for use with electric cooking equipment only – it cannot be used with gas equipment. It can accommodate 24″ of equipment up to 30″ deep, with up to 75A total (allow 3A for the hood). Each piece of equipment going under the hood must have a surface area of 470 square inches or less. Fryers should not exceed an 85 lb. oil capacity. A clearance of 18″ is required above the hood body to the ceiling, 12″ above the damper, and 30″ on the pull station side. The hood must be hard-wired, and all connections to equipment must be made by a qualified electrician. It does not come with a cord and plug.
