Abstract:

A fire safety system particularly adapted for commercial kitchen applications provides control of exhaust levels for energy efficiency and intelligently responds to fires or fire risks. In embodiments, systems may provide early warning of fire hazards or impending fires. Embodiments employ probabilistic estimates with alarms that can be canceled. Embodiments employ classifiers that can make use of alarm cancellations as a mechanism for supervised learning.

Abstract:

Exhaust hood methods, devices, and systems are disclosed herein that improve the performance of short-circuit hoods. Such improvements can be provided relatively inexpensively by utilizing existing features of the structure of short-circuit hoods. The resulting enhancement in performance may exceed that of a regular exhaust hood while avoiding the pitfalls associated with make-up air injection into the exhaust hood recess. The components of the short-circuit system that inject make-up and/or conditioned air into the exhaust hood recess can be converted into a combination of horizontal and vertical jets at a lower edge of the exhaust hood. A retrofit jet generator can be installed into the short-circuit system outlets. A series of openings in the jet generator can generate the combination of horizontal and vertical jets at a lower edge of the exhaust hood when air from the make-up air or conditioned air source is supplied thereto.
