Kitchen Hood

Kitchen environments present a high risk of fire due to the presence of oils, grease, and high-temperature cooking equipment. Fires in commercial kitchens, such as those in restaurants and hotels, are classified as Class F fires. The SFFECO Wet Chemical Kitchen Hood Fire Extinguishing System is specifically designed to effectively control and suppress these fires, preventing flame spread and minimizing damage. Its modern stainless steel construction seamlessly integrates with contemporary kitchen appliances, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Features

• Designed specifically for Class F (cooking oil and grease) fire hazards
• High-performance wet chemical agent for rapid flame suppression
• Stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• Sleek and compact design to match modern kitchen setups
• Automatic and manual activation options available
• Quick response to prevent fire spread and re-ignition

Applications

• Commercial kitchens in restaurants and hotels
• Industrial and institutional kitchens
• Food courts and catering facilities
• Cooking areas with deep fat fryers, grills, and hoods

Principle of Operation

The system detects fire through heat-sensitive detection mechanisms installed within the kitchen hood. Upon activation, it releases a wet chemical extinguishing agent that reacts with hot cooking oils and grease to form a soapy foam layer (saponification). This layer effectively cools the surface, suppresses flames, and prevents re-ignition by sealing off oxygen from the fuel source.
