In a preferred form a restaurant meat broiling range hood is integrated with a fiber bed-type mist eliminating apparatus. Assistance is provided in the preferred form by a pump to draw the gas stream through this apparatus. Electrical and plumbing control systems are shown provided as substantially pre-assembled units for ease of field installation. A unique cleaning system is provided, which is simple to conduct.

Apparatus for control of range hood airborne emissions, comprising: a mist eliminator fiber bed element; a housing for said fiber bed element, having an inlet and an outlet; gasket means sealing between said fiber bed element and the housing intermediate the inlet and the outlet, so that all airborne emissions entering the housing, from the range hood, must pass through said fiber bed element in order to reach said outlet; an exhaust fan associated with said outlet; airborne emissions cooling spray means associated with said inlet, for substantially lowering the temperature of said emissions prior to their contact with said fiber bed element to reduce the tendency of constituents of said emissions to bake onto said fiber bed element, and to decrease the number of smallest size particles in the emissions by effecting combinations of said particles; means for perfusing the fiber bed element, in situ, successively with a liquid cleaning solution for saponifying fats and breaking-up char, then a liquid rinse for flushing out the spent liquid cleaning solution and its burden of saponified fats and char debris; the perfusing means including control means arranged to operate said blower means automatically both while said perfusing means is perfusing the fiber bed element with said liquid cleaning solution and while said perfusing means is perfusing the fiber bed element with said liquid rinse; and drain means from the housing for draining spent liquid cleaning solution and liquid rinse therefrom.
