| Use advice for data set | Scope: This document refers to UVI/F hood produced by HALTON FOODSERVICE in France. This EPD represents the declaration of a specific product UVI/F Hood, with the declared unit of 1 linear metre of hood, used to extract heat and cooking steam for 365 days a year, for 8 hours a day, for 15 years. The data collection for the ecological assessment occurred plant specific with current annual data. Consequently, the Life Cycle Assessment is representative for this product. System boundary: This representative EPD follows the EPD type "cradle to grave". The following life cycle modules are declared: Modules A1-A3 The product stage begins with considering the production of the necessary raw materials (metals, electronics, packaging materials), including all corresponding upstream chains and the actual procurement transports. Furthermore, the entire manufacturing phase was mapped, including the treatment of production waste until the end-of waste status (EoW) was reached. Module A4 The transport model considers a construction site in Europe. The scenario for the distribution stage considers a average distance to serve the entire European area from the Haltons plant. The quantity transported corresponds to the transport of products and their packaging to the construction site. Module A5 The hood is delivered at the right size on the installation site. It is installed in about 10 hours by 2 employees. The hood is fixed to the ceiling with the help of a lifter and some fixation devices. Complementary products for installation include a ceiling beam in galvanised steel. This additional product is supplied by Halton. Their production and packaging are considered in A1, their transport in A3 and A4 and the end-of-life of their packaging in A5. Others complementary products are used to fix the MUPRO Ceiling beam (clip, pin, screw). They must be purchased by the installer because they depend on ceiling type (metallic, concrete or wood). They are not considered in this study. The application phase considers: - Transportation of material lifter to installation site : 2500 kg on 30 km. - Waste treatment (product packaging) : Modules B1 & B3-B5 & B7 These modules were considered but evaluated as not relevant for the products and considered as zero. Products do not require repair (B3)/replacement (B4)/rehabilitation (B5). The hoods havent significant impact for emission in indoor air or in water during use. Module B2: - a weekly cleaning with 5L of water containing 1,5% soap. - annual check-up by a technician on different hood parameters (Capture jets state, lighting state, filters (state and number), k factor, exhaust rates in intake rates) modelled with transportation of one technician in light commercial vehicle (100 km). - 2 UV light replacements during the reference life service. - End-of-life treatment of 2 UV light tubes during SLR with transportation included Module B6 et B7 The hood is designed for heavy duty industrial usage. To reflect the most average scenario the hood will be functioning 8 hours a days 7 days a week. Electricity (B6) is required to use the products. Modules C1-C4 The module includes the environmental impacts for dismantling of the products and the treatment of the UVI/F hood waste until the end-of-waste status (EoW) is reached, including the associated transports at the end of the product life cycle. The product is assumed to be removed manually at the same time as the building is demolished. No scenario has been developed for stage C1. The hood and the ceiling beam are removed separately. Dismantling of product components at recycling facility. Based on the material, components are either recycled, incinerated, or landfilled depending on the material. Stage C3 represents the impact of a conventional scrap processing site, with sorting, shearing, shredding, separation. Module D Identification of the benefits and costs of the product outside the system boundary. Recycling of metal scrap results in credits of the respective raw materials for the primary material portion of the input. The loads of the waste incineration and recycling processes are assigned to the respective modules (A3, A5 and C3) and not to module D. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | The UVI/F hood is used for professional kitchens. They can be installed above the cooking appliances and is used to remove fumes, odors, heat, humidity, and any airborne grease from the environment. | ||

| General comment on data set | The UVI/F reduces the grease build up in the ductwork to a negligible level. Capture Ray™ technology is based on the use of UV-C lamps. The Neutralization of grease particles and vapors as well as the mitigation of the cooking odors depend on two simultaneous reactions. Photolysis is the direct effect of UV-C radiation. It works by photodecomposition whereby grease molecules are broken down by photons. Ozonolysis is the oxidation of grease molecules by ozone that is generated by the lamps. As ozone is a gas, it is carried with the airflow. Oxidation therefore takes place in the hoods and ventilated ceilings exhaust plenum as well as in the ductwork. The product is manufactured from steel, electronics, aluminium, plastic. The Capture Jet™ technology (KVI/F) is related to the association of two sets of nozzles supplied with an extremely low supply air volume (a maximum of 30 m/h/m of hood). These nozzles fit to the lower part of the hood front as well as the sides, encircling the perimeter of the covered cooking areas. The horizontal nozzles increase the push/pull of the thermal plume and smoke from the lower part of the hood front due to the Venturi effect. It provides an assist to push vapours back towards the filters. | ||

| Technology description including background system | Manufacturing and packaging of the UVI/F hood at the production site. In this case, manufacturing mainly refers to the assembling, configuring, and testing of the hoods from pre-made parts. The assessment covers the electricity, LPG consumption for forklift and water use needed during the production process. The electricity is modelled as site-specific energy mixes provided by local energy companies.The waste streams from the manufacturing site include, wastewater, wood waste, cardboard, plastic and metal scrap (stainless steel and galvanised steel sheets). Any production waste generated is disposed accordingly. Technical data: The technical properties are project-dependent (Airflow range). The dimensions of the reference product is specified in the table below. Declared unit: The declared unit is: '1 linear metre of hood, used to extract heat and cooking steam for 365 days a year, for 8 hours a day, for 15 years'.' | ||
