The National Restaurant Association reports that cooking equipment is responsible for 57% of the total number of fires that break out in restaurants. Installing a kitchen fire suppression system is thus a very straightforward method for reducing the risk of fires and grease fires occurring in commercial kitchens.
What is the Operation of a Kitchen Fire Suppression System?
To maintain its intensity, a fire requires three things: oxygen, heat, and fuel. When the system determines that there is a fire, it will cause the nozzles that are located above the appliance to release wet chemicals. These water-based compounds have been developed specifically to extinguish fires rapidly by smothering the blaze and depriving it of oxygen. The gas line leading to the appliance will be disconnected as soon as the system alarm goes off, which will prevent any further fuel from being added to the fire.
A fire may be swiftly extinguished in the kitchen by using this two-pronged strategy, which does not influence the other cooking stations. This indicates that you will not lose all of the food that is currently being made in your kitchen; rather, you will just lose the food that was burnt in the fire. Since flames create a significant amount of smoke, the hood turns on by itself to eliminate the smoke from your kitchen when it is activated. The automated response of kitchen hood suppression systems to flames helps to keep property damage to a minimum.
