EPA 202 TEST METHOD: USING TURBOCHEF TECHNOLOGIES MODEL HHB2
CONVECTION OVEN WITH ORE-IDA FRIES, CHICKEN BREASTS, TYSON WINGS
AND GROUND BEEF PATTIES AS TEST MEDIA.
Dear Mr. Castillo,
Per your re
quest, project 12CA05111 was opened for the evaluation of grease-laden vapors
produced from cooking Ore-Ida Fries, Chicken Breasts, Tyson Wings, and Ground Beef Patties in a
Turbochef Technologies Model HHB2 Convection Oven in accordance with your requested food load
and test protocol.
The scope of this project was to determine the grease emissions from the Turbochef
Technologies convection oven in accordance with EPA Method 202 test guidelines to demonstrate
ultimate results to your specified food load and test protocol, which included UL710B, the Standard
for Recirculating Systems, Sec. 17 and NFPA96, the Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire
Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations, paragraph 4.1.1.2. The test was conducted at our
facility in Northbrook, IL on February 9
th
, 2012. This letter will report the results of the EPA202 test.
For the record, the test was conducted using a UL Listed Turbochef Technologies Model
HHB2 Convec
tion oven found in E151487, Volume 1, Section 7, cooking Ore-Ida Fries, Chicken
Breasts, Tyson Wings, and Ground Beef Patties as specified by Turbochef Technologies. Please see
the attached page (Appendix A) for the test method and results of the test for Model HHB2. The
results are considered to comply when tested with your specified food load and requested cook
times since the total amount of grease-laden effluents collected was 0.10 mg/m³, which is less than
5 mg/m³ limit. No evaluation was conducted in regards to fire protection.
