Automatic Kitchen Fire Suppression System
Tech US Automatic Kitchen Fire Suppression System features a proprietary mechanical base that uses fusible link technology to detect and actuate the release of the extinguishing agent. This fully automatic, mechanically activated system is more flexible, space-efficient, and cost-effective than traditional systems. Designed to NFPA and UL standards, it provides reliable protection for kitchen hoods, effectively addressing high-temperature oil fires in commercial kitchens such as hotels, institutes, and restaurants.
A. System Design & Operation
-
Components:
Wet agent tank, heat sensing cable, nozzles, and piping.
-
Optional:
Temperature sensor.
-
Actuation:
Automatic and manual options.
-
Activation:
Sprays special form type fire suppressant on the plenum area, cooking surface, and exhaust duct at a predetermined flow rate.
-
Suppression Mechanism:
Forms a soap-like foam layer on hot grease, insulating it from the atmosphere and cutting off oxygen supply.
-
System Capabilities:
Can shut down other appliances upon actuation, if required.
-
Integration:
Additional equipment such as gas shutoff valves, alarms, and warning lights can be integrated into the system.
B. System Operation Explanation
In the event of a fire, the detection module within the Tech US System triggers system activation upon detecting temperatures exceeding a predefined threshold. This fire detection mechanism offers flexibility, employing either electrical triggering or mechanical fusible links to ensure prompt and reliable response to fire incidents.
C. Equipment Applicable
The Tech US Automatic Kitchen Fire Suppression System undergoes extensive performance and safety testing on a broad spectrum of cooking equipment and appliances, including deep fat fryers, griddles, skillets, woks, salamanders, chain broilers, split chain broilers, split deep fat fryers, and range tops with circular pots.
The testing process includes a variety of cooking fuels, such as vegetable oil, semi-solid grease, shortening, mesquite wood, lava pumice, and charcoal, as well as different types of low-fat meats. These rigorous evaluations ensure comprehensive coverage and reliable protection across numerous fire scenarios.
