Is Your Commercial Kitchen Equipped with an Automated Fire Suppression System?

In California, it’s mandated by law that commercial kitchens, such as those in restaurants, are equipped with automated fire suppression systems. This is critical to mitigate the risk of injury to personnel and avoid damage to your costly kitchen equipment. Are you confident that your restaurant kitchen has an effective automated fire suppression system ready to respond in an emergency? If you’re uncertain, now is the opportune time to update your system with Flue Steam.

Understanding the Functioning of Automated Fire Suppression Systems

Automated fire suppression systems work with a temperature sensor. When the air outside the exhaust system’s hood reaches a specific pre-set temperature, typically around 450 degrees, the system gets activated. Once the sensor is triggered, an extinguishing agent is released to smother any flames on your appliances and within the plenum. Simultaneously, an automatic shut-off valve is activated to cut off the gas supply, a crucial step in diminishing the flames. The system’s automated operation is paramount for immediate fire suppression. However, these systems are also fitted with a manual pull trigger as an additional safety measure.

Is Your Automated Fire Suppression System Ready to Take on the Task?

If your automated fire suppression system has seen many years of service or shows signs of wear and tear, it’s an ideal time to consider upgrading to a new one from Flue Steam.
