Suppression agents extinguish fires by removing heat or oxygen or by interfering with chemical reactions. When the kitchen fire suppression system detects a fire, wet chemicals are discharged from the nozzles above the appliance. These wet chemicals are designed to quickly extinguish fires by covering them and depriving them of oxygen. When the system trips, the gas line to the appliance is immediately disconnected, depriving the fire of fuel.
Every fire protection installation in homes and businesses includes a fire suppression system. To ensure maximum fire safety, this system is designed to detect and extinguish a fire using either water, foam, or other extinguishing gases. They are installed based on the purpose for which they were designed, such as a kitchen fire suppression system or an industrial fire suppression system. Cooling, smothering, starving, or interrupting the combustion process can be used to put out a fire. One of the most common methods of putting out a fire is to cool it with water.
Different chemicals can be discharged by fire suppression systems depending on the application. For example, for grease fires, a different chemical will be used then for oil or electrical fires. Hire a fire protection contractor who is familiar with the system required for your application.
What Are the Advantages of Kitchen Fire Extinguishing Systems?
It’s far less expensive to prevent kitchen fires than it is to repair structural damage after a fire. As a result, many business owners value the security that comes with installing a fire suppression system. You are not only protecting the occupants of your building, but you are also limiting fire damage to a single cooking surface.
