Kitchen Hood Fire Suppression System
A Kitchen Hood Fire Suppression System is specifically designed to protect commercial kitchens from fire hazards caused by cooking oils, grease, and high-temperature equipment. Installed directly in the kitchen hood, ducts, and over cooking appliances, the system detects and suppresses fires quickly at their source—helping to prevent them from spreading throughout the facility. When a fire is detected, the system automatically discharges a specialized wet chemical agent that rapidly cools the flames, reacts with hot grease to form a harmless soap-like substance (saponification), and prevents re-ignition. Many systems also automatically shut off fuel or power to cooking equipment, providing an extra layer of safety.
Key Features and Benefits
• Targets high-risk areas like fryers, grills, ovens, and ranges.
• Quickly suppresses grease fires and prevents re-flash by cooling and smothering the flames.
• Activates automatically through heat-sensitive detection or can be manually triggered by staff.
• Can automatically shut down gas or electrical supply to cooking appliances when discharged.
• Meets international fire protection standards (such as NFPA 17A and NFPA 96).
