Explore kitchen exhaust families

Product families with multiple configurations.

Grease Viper and KES are families, not two fixed-capacity units. Compare the cabinet range, collection stages, odor treatment and service approach with the demands of the kitchen.

Modular kitchen pollution control

Grease Viper

Electrostatic kitchen exhaust treatment with automatic water-wash components and configurable odor control and supporting equipment.

Review filtration stages, wash utilities, drainage, controls and service access together.

Air Boss KES air cleaning equipment

Configured kitchen exhaust filtration

Air Boss KES

Electrostatic particulate collection with optional media filtration and carbon odor control, according to the selected package.

Confirm each filtration stage, the maintenance plan and the complete exhaust arrangement.

More Trion kitchen exhaust families

Trion also lists Air Boss ATS and Model 75 in its kitchen exhaust lineup. Tell us if either is specified or already installed; we can help review the configuration and replacement requirements.

Commercial kitchen exhaust · Grease Viper range

A configurable family, not one fixed-CFM unit.

Trion lists 16 cabinet sizes and additional modular configurations. Cabinet size and the number of electrostatic passes are separate selection decisions.

1 ESP stage

Single pass

One ESP stage. Review the selected arrangement with the required airflow and collection objective.

2 ESP stages

Double pass

Two successive ESP stages. Review the selected arrangement with the required airflow and collection objective.

3 ESP stages

Triple pass

Three successive ESP stages. Review the selected arrangement with the required airflow and collection objective.

Pass count is not a CFM size. Send the hood airflow, cooking duty, available space and discharge requirements so we can match the cabinet, ESP stages, odor control and fan package. Automatic washing also requires coordinated utilities and service access.

Commercial kitchen exhaust · KES sizes

KES-2 or KES-4?

The KES family has two cabinet models. Compare their published airflow at the same collection-efficiency point. ✓ Standard = included; ✓ Optional = selected package.

Define the job before choosing the size

Smoke collection and odor control are different objectives.

Electrostatic stages collect particles. Selected odor media addresses suitable odor-producing compounds. A particle collection percentage does not describe removal of every cooking odor.

Include nearby air intakes, occupied areas or neighboring properties in the project review. Coordinate the hood, grease duct, fan, fire protection and discharge with the design team. Filtration equipment alone does not establish an acceptable sidewall discharge.

Bring these details

  • Appliance schedule, fuel, menu and operating hours.
  • Hood exhaust CFM, duct routing and static-pressure requirements.
  • Smoke, grease and odor objectives; proposed discharge location.
  • Space, access, power, wash water and drainage where required.
  • Existing unit model, serial number and photographs for retrofits.
