New laser beam fan controls

These have been popping up in newer hoods. A small fixture in the hood, like an eye connected to the fan. When the smoke gets heavy the fan speed increases. If you cover these when the fan is on it goes to maximum velocity. Apparently some have been installed within the duct. They should be protected but in the duct is tough.

Anyone had experiences with these that they would like to share?
 
Well not laser beam but infared yes. Captive Aire makes this as an add on to hood installs. there are 3 things that need to be done When cleaning the system. You can put a glove over the emitter and the reader on opposite sides of the hood that read the smoke, both are the approx size of a 115V electrical box.Shut the system down withthe pannel. Clean it as you would normally. BEFORE you restart the system. clean the air spike in the exhaust system just behind the plenum, wipe it dry then remove the gloves and clean the lenses on the reader and emitter. Retart the system , do not keep pressing the fan switch it will put it in default mode and run it at 100%. Just turn it on then cover one side or the other and you should hear the fan speed up to compensate. Remove the obstruction and the fan should slow down. If it does it is back up and running.
 
You can also disconnect this device and use the laser beam to clean the system. You will want to have a long extension cord on hand to do the fan, just run the extension cord through the duct and unplug one of the refrigerators or freezers and use their outlet.

If you put a 15 degree tip over the laser beam, it will spread it out more so you cut through more grease at once. It wont have the same cutting power as a straight laser beam though.
 
Thats true I have used it before, in fact I wish more systems had it. I did a new chinese palce and it worked great. Not sure about the tips though not sure how you would do that, sounds made up to me. Anyway, becareful those lasers put off some heat so I would avoid the fusiable links and dont hit your plastic(it will melt). Good luck and be careful and pay attention to how you disassemble the laser so you put it back right.
 
OK I was kidding about the pressure washer tips, I figured I could get at least one guy to try it, but its probably dangerous so I take it back:D

Trey mad a good point about the plastic and especially the fusible link, do not try to clean them with the laser beam!!! And be careful on aluminum fans because if you hold it in one place to long you can poke a hole in them.
 
Take the long lance laser and bend it so that is heated by the salamander take a sharp downward angle and bring it into the rear orifice. When this is completed and the upper date stamp is 4/1 let it rip - in no time anything would lets say clean.:D :D :D If first aid is needed call a Corpman
 
You can always take some of the heavy duty Drip Loc magnets and crazy glue some mirrors on them at 45 degree angles, then with proper placement you can redirect the beam to the back wall so that your standing on the appliances will not be affect the system. Just remember to place and remove the magnet/mirrors all at precisely the same time (mission impossible style) so as not to trip the system and start the bells and whistles.
