Pollution Control Unit (VPCU)
System Overview
The Pollution Control Unit, VPCU Series, is a mechanical filter arrangement for the removal of smoke and grease particulate from the exhaust air stream of kitchen exhaust systems. The typical VPCU includes a washable steel pre-filter and disposable, high efficiency (MERV 15) media filter. An additional high efficiency (MERV 15) / HEPA module is available for smoke control. Odor control is handled via an optional module ( typically 50/50 blend carbon/permanganate OR 100% carbon blend). Sizes range in capacity up to 20,000 CFM.
The VPCU is ETL listed and is suitable for indoor or outdoor installations.
