Kitchen fire protection systems are installed on a variety of appliances like stoves and deep fat fryers. The nozzles for the system are installed in the commercial kitchen hood exhaust. When a fire is detected by the system, a wet chemical solution will be sprayed directly over the fire source. The chemicals that are discharged are specially formulated to quickly put out fires by covering the flames and starving them of the oxygen they need to thrive. As an added safety measure, the fire protection system will shut off the gas line to the appliance, further depriving the fire of fuel. This two-pronged approach to fire protection ensures the fire is extinguished without affecting other cooking stations. This lets your staff get right back to work as soon as the fire is put out.
