Greenheck Launches Optics Sensors for Kitchen Hoods

Greenheck recently announced the launch of factory-installed optics sensors as an enhanced option for its kitchen ventilation hoods, according to a news release. The Model GKC kitchen ventilation controls now come standardized with hood-mounted temperature sensors, which can respond to and modulate changes in airflow up to five times faster than sensors mounted in ducts. Additionally, optics sensors can detect steam and smoke within seconds, triggering exhaust fans.

The sensors can be included in an optional variable volume system that can turn down the fan speed by up to 50 percent. Energy savings meet California Title 24, IECC 2024, and ASHRAE 90.1 energy standards, the news release reports.

The Model GKC features include a touchscreen display to control fans, lights, and make-up air. Touchscreens can now be added to each individual hood section for ease of light and fan control within individual zones. All Greenheck kitchen ventilation equipment features make-up air, exhaust hoods and fans, utility distribution systems, dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS), fire suppression systems, and pollution control units, according to the news release.
