Smokeeter LS Review
A popular option for bars, restaurants, bingo halls and casinos that have t-bar type drop ceilings is the fully concealed Smokeeter LS system. the Smokeeter LS requires a good three feet of clearance between the t-bar and the true ceiling. I would say that "you may have seen the Smokeeter LS in action," but as they are completely conceled, you wouldn’t see them at all. Applebee’s all over the country use two Smokeeter LS smoke removal systems in each restaurant, so though you may not have seen them, most people have been in an Applebee’s and probably never noticed that these unit were running.
I personally reccommend the Smokeeter LS system whenever it will fit an application, and for several good reasons, it is the quietest solution, it combines washable electronic filter cells and a significant ammount of granulated carbon (with optional carbon plenum shown to the left) and it offers powerfull and cost effective solutions without ever being seen and barely ever heard.
With washable electronic filter cells, there are no expensive HEPA filters to continually purchase, which save thousands of dollars in replacement filter costs. The only thing that needs replacing is the 6 odor absorbing carbon trays (about $45 each) every 6-12 months. The Smokeeter LS provides 1500 CFM of airflow, which is enough to provide over ten air changes per hour in a 1,100 square foot area. Because they are completely conceled, these smoke eaters can be run on high speed without causing excessive noise.
The included wired remote switch, hooks up like a thermostat and allows the unit to be controlled and switched on and off, without having to climb a ladder. The remote includes a large red indicator light so that you can see when the smoke eater is running.
There are several Smokeeter LS packages available, which are shipped with attractive 2′X2′ ceiling tile return and supply grills. Insallation is fairly simple, just hang the unit above the drop from anchored cables, replace a few standard ceiling tiles with the return and supply grills and connect flex duct between the flanged grills and the Y conncetors that are included with the packaged systems.
