WET CHEMICAL

Hot cooking surfaces, round the clock operations, high-efficiency appliances. Today’s facilities have all the elements necessary for devastating fires, disasters that can shut down a food service establishment for a day, a month, or forever. That’s why our engineers recommend the next generation in commercial cooking fire suppression. The Wet Chemical System. Insurance companies and local fire authorities will like this system because it exceeds the tough U.L. 300 Standard. Your managers will appreciate that the system installs out of sight, remains on duty around the clock and uses a fire suppression agent that minimizes after-fire cleanup operations. But owners and operators of commercial cooking facilities will quickly come to realize the biggest benefit of this system i.e. its ability to rapidly detect and suppress fire in fire in any type of cooking appliance before there is extensive damage or a costly business interruption.

EXCEEDS U.L. 300

The stringent standards of performance brought about by the evolution of new cooking trends and appliances that operate at higher temperatures. Wet Chemical Systems also comply with NFPA 96 & 17A plus other regulatory and insurance requirements.

SUPERIOR WET AGENT

The wet chemical agent provides quicker flame knockdown and faster fire suppression, while blanketing the hazard area with a quicker saponification layer to prevent fire reflash.

AFTER FIRE CLEANUP

Simply use a damp cloth to wipe away the foamy wet chemical agent residue as soon as the appliances cool and you’re back in business.

COVERAGE

The system offers unmatched coverage that uses fewer discharge nozzles and flow points to protect the hazard area, resulting in more efficient fire suppression with less hardware cost.

APPLICATION

A flexible pre-engineered design concept, coupled with the widest array of cylinder sizes in the industry enable us to offer the most effective, efficient protection for every type of cooking appliance: - fryers, range tops, griddles, broilers, woks as well as hood and duct systems.

OUT OF SIGHT

Wet Chemical Systems blend seamlessly into any décor thanks to a flexible design concept that maximizes nozzle placement options and minimizes piping while offering a choice of black steel or stainless steel piping or stainless steel tubing.

OPERATION

Choose from three types of actuators, the KRS-50 Control Box that pneumatically discharges up to five cylinders; the Mechanical Control Head, a reliable spring-loaded that uses fusible link technology to trigger the system; or the Electrical Control Head using any normally-open electric contact device (i.e. electric heat detectors). An optional Manual Pull Station is also available.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

Fire is detected by heat detectors which activate the KRS-50 Control Box, (or the Manual Pull Station is activated) … causing the cylinder valve to open.

Pressure in the Cylinder propels the Wet Chemical through the system piping and out to strategically placed Nozzles onto the fire. The system automatically shuts off appliances to remove the heat source.

Wet Chemical knocks down flames quickly and forms a protective layer that suppresses fire and prevents reflash.
