Fire Protection for Commercial Kitchens
A kitchen hood suppression system is a vital fire protection solution designed to safeguard commercial kitchens, restaurants, and food service establishments from fire hazards. Cooking equipment such as grills, fryers, and stoves produce high heat and grease buildup, increasing the risk of fire. A properly installed and maintained kitchen hood suppression system detects, suppresses, and prevents fire spread, ensuring the safety of employees, customers, and property.
How a Kitchen Hood Suppression System Works
A kitchen hood suppression system is integrated into the ventilation hood and ductwork above cooking appliances. It operates through heat or flame detection, automatically activating when a fire is detected. The system releases a wet chemical agent that quickly suppresses flames and prevents re-ignition by cooling hot surfaces and forming a protective layer over grease-laden areas. Simultaneously, the system shuts off the gas or electricity supply to prevent further fuel from feeding the fire.
