(Hot Spot over exhaust and smoke pencil.)
- Remember...“Exhausts must be drawing sufficient air to be effective in removing pollutants.”
- Periodically check to make sure the exhaust system is properly working. Problems may be caused by poor fan operation or interruption of flow through the exhaust duct.
- Check the airflow at all exhaust registers. Check the main exhaust fan, and make sure air is exiting the exhaust port on the roof.
