    Patent number: 12650233
    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.
