Ansul Systems Ansul Systems B ecause it is a statistical fact that there are a lot of fires in commercial cooking facilities, Ansul Systems have changed to protect the modern kitchen. Having a good fire protection system in a restaurant or institutional cooking facility is more important than ever before. I n the last 10 years major developments have changed the ways of commercial cooking. Cooking equipment currently manufactured uses more efficient burners, resulting in much higher heating rates. More cooking is done with vegetable oil instead of animal fats.
Vegetable oils have a much higher autoignition temperature.
Fryers are now made with improved insulation that slows the cooling rate, but which also increases the risk of a re-flash in the event of fire. Its much more important to have a good fire suppression system. At Reliable Fire Equipment we will provide you with the Ansul model R-102 liquid agent fire suppression system, or the 21st century generation Piranaha hood system .
