Abstract: An integrated cleaning system includes an automated kitchen exhaust cleaning system with a first conduit and a first nozzle configured to spray detergent or water on a kitchen exhaust flue, and an exhaust fan configured to be mounted on an outside surface of a building and to couple to the kitchen exhaust flue. The exhaust fan includes a fan surrounded by a housing, is operated by a motor, and is configured to pull exhaust up through the kitchen exhaust flue and to disperse externally via the fan operated by the motor. A second nozzle connected to a second conduit is connected to the first conduit, and in response to receipt of detergent or water from the automated kitchen exhaust cleaning system during an exhaust fan cleaning operation, the second nozzle is configured to spray the detergent or water onto an inside of the housing or fan blades of the fan.

Abstract: A cooking range exhaust cleaning system includes a plurality of nozzles coupled to a conduit and arranged to spray a zone of a cooking range exhaust system with a cleaning solution, the zone corresponding to a hood zone, a flue zone, an exhaust fan zone, a waste collection system zone, or a combination thereof. As cleaning solution is carried through the conduit, as sensor senses its movement and a control box is configured to, in response to receipt of a signal to initiate a cleaning operation of the cooking range exhaust system, cause the cleaning solution to be provided to the plurality of nozzles via the conduit; collect a sensor reading from the sensor; and compare the sensor reading to a threshold. Other sensors of the system may include conduit sensors and vessel sensors.

Abstract: An example automatic kitchen cleaning system includes a control box configured to, in response to receipt of the start signal to initiate the first cleaning operation of the cooking range exhaust system, causing the first detergent and water to be mixed in a reservoir at the first target mixing ratio for form the first cleaning solution. The control box is further configured to, in response to receipt of the start signal to initiate the second cleaning operation of the waste conduit, causing the second detergent and water to be mixed in the reservoir at the second target mixing ratio to form the second cleaning solution.

Abstract: A method for cleaning a cooking range exhaust system includes, in response to receipt of a start signal at a control box of a cooking range exhaust cleaning system to initiate a cleaning operation, causing a cleaning solution comprising a mixture of detergent and water having a ratio based on a target mixing ratio to be provided to a supply line. An electronically-controlled valve may be caused to open to facilitate provision of the cleaning solution to a nozzle coupled to the electronically-controlled valve via a conduit for a predetermined period of time. The nozzle is arranged to spray a zone of the cooking range exhaust system.

Abstract: An example automatic cooking range cleaning system may include a nozzle coupled to a conduit and arranged to spray a first zone of a cooking range exhaust system, a pump configured to provide a cleaning solution to a supply line, and a control box connected to the pump via a supply line. The control box may include a controller and an electronically-controlled valve configured to selectively couple the supply line to the conduit. The controller may be configured to, in response to receipt of a start signal to initiate a cleaning operation, cause the cleaning solution comprising a mixture of detergent and water having a ratio based on a target mixing ratio to be provided to the supply line, and cause the electronically-controlled valve to open to facilitate provision of the cleaning solution to the nozzle via the conduit for a predetermined period of time.
