Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems The Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems are pre-engineered fixed nozzle systems for the protection of small and large kitchens. Typical applications include hotels, restaurants, portable kitchens, trailer kitchens etc.

As restaurant fire protection systems have evolved, so have the kitchens they protect. The preparation of low cholesterol and low fat foods requires the use of hotter-burning vegetable oils. Highly insulated, slow-cooling appliances have also become more commonplace. As a result, fires in today's appliances are more difficult to control and extinguish than in the past.

Today, there are different types of kitchen systems for different fire risks. These are based on water, foam, dry chemical or special wet chemical agents. The agents offer different fire fighting capabilities, and these need to be matched to the fuel risks they are protecting.

Kitchen fire suppression systems offer:

24-hour fire surveillance. Automatic response to fires. Containment of fire to a small area. Protection of kitchen equipment and personnel. Reduced kitchen down-time following a fire incident.

The professionally trained inspection and service personnel from Agnice will inform you of the ever changing codes and requirements for your kitchen equipment. When performing the inspection, the Agnice services professionals will ensure there is minimal disruption to your normal procedures, and also train your own kitchen personnel on the use and care of the kitchen fire suppression equipment.

The failure of kitchen fire suppression equipment is costly and embarrassing. The kitchen hood fire suppression system assessment will ensure your system is in working order and able to respond when required.

Gas Suppression Systems. Gaseous fire suppression systems are used for the protection of highly valued hazards that require a clean agent that does not damage the contents or leave a residue. Typical applications include:

Electrical rooms Computer / Server rooms Data Centers Marine Engine rooms Libraries and archives Steel mills

Different gaseous agents are available for different types of risks. Some gases, such as Inergen®, offer a lower cost of gas and safety to the occupants, while others such as CO2 are commonly found in industrial and marine applications. Chemical agents as in Sapphire, FM-200 are also available which use less storage space, but require careful safety systems.

The risks that are normally protected by gas fire suppression systems are often highly valuable and important. Therefore it is important the gas fire suppression systems that are installed are checked and maintained regularly. They are specialized systems for specialized local risks and need to be ready to perform at any time. To ensure that the system is ready to operate in a fire, the Agnice professional inspection and service engineers will perform a thorough service check to make sure it is properly installed and will function as intended.

Fire Alarm and Detection Systems Fire detection and alarm systems are installed to protect your personnel from the risk of flame, smoke and toxic byproducts. They use specialized sensors to monitor risks for the early stages of a fire. The types of sensors used will vary for different risks due to the different fire products produced from different burning fuels. Once detected the system will sound audible alarms, alerting the occupants of the building, and possibly even activate a voice evacuation system, as well as sending a signal to the authorities.


Fire detection and alarm systems can vary from the simplest detector and siren to complex interactive systems that automatically control the staged egress of large buildings, moving people away from the source and path of fire, as well as ensuring the proper activation of smoke control and fire systems.

Shree protection pvt ltd is having professional inspection and service personnel who will ensure your fire detection and alarm system is in working order and meets the relevant authority’s codes and requirements by providing the following multi-point checklist:

Inspect for any changes in building status that may affect the performance or reliability of the fire alarm and detection system.

Portable Fire Extinguishers Portable Fire extinguishers offer quick and effective fire fighting response to small fires. They are usually considered as the first line of defense against small fires, before they grow to become a risk to your buildings and other occupants. Portable fire extinguishers need to be easy to use and selected for the right type of fuel.

Placement and identification of fire extinguishers is critical to the safety of the occupants, and important to meeting the relevant codes and standards. SHREE PROTECTOIN 's professionally trained extinguisher service staff

will ensure that the best choices of extinguishers with the proper agents are located at the correct locations, with the appropriate signs and identification.

Having your staff properly trained in the use of fire extinguishers can be the difference between a minor interruption and a complete shutdown of your business, or worse, the cause of death. Our trained professional will conduct training courses to show how to identify and select the right extinguisher and how to use them in a fire.

Fire extinguishers need to work when called upon to do so. It is important that they are regularly inspected and checked for signs of damage, leakage or corrosion, and that the appropriate corrective action is taken to put them back in service quickly. Agnice's staff of trained service technicians will perform an extensive service check on a regular basis to ensure they are in full working order.

What types of extinguishers are available?

Portable fire extinguishers are usually classified according to the agent’s type they contain.

Water

Uses on ordinary solid combustible materials (Class A). Water is readily available. These extinguishers are cheap and easily refilled. They are used for their cooling and wetting action.

Foam

Used on class B oil fires. The foam discharge forms a blanket to cover the surface, which remains in place for sufficient time to prevent re-ignition and allow the liquid to cool.

Dry Chemical

Used on class A and B fires. Fast acting and offers quick extinguishment. The powder quickly disperses to all areas in the risk and acts on the flames over the fuel. They are more effective on fuel fires than other extinguishers.

Carbon Dioxide

These are used primarily for oil and electrical fires. Although a gas, it is discharged partly as a liquid stream allowing it to be directed over a fuel surface. CO2 is toxic and should not be used in small confined spaces.

Halocarbons

These are used mainly on electrical risks, however they can also be used on class A and B fires. As they do not leave any residue, this favored in computer rooms and electrical risks.

There are different types of foam, dry chemical and holocarbon agents for specific types of fuel hazards. The extinguishers also come in different sizes although the most useful sizes contain between 3 to 9kg.

How to Use Extinguishers It is important that operators are trained to use extinguishers when there is a fire space. As part of this training, they need to understand the different methods for different agents.

A. Water - Direct the jet at the base of the fire and keep it moving over the fire source. B. Foam - Direct to far inside edge of container and allow foam blanket to cover the fuel surface. If not

possible, direct the jet from a safe distance allowing the foam to gently cover the surface. Do not direct the jet directly into the fuel surface.

C. Dry Powder - If fighting a liquid spill, then direct at near edge of spill and use a rapid sweeping action to move the flames to the far edge until extinguished. If fighting an electrical hazard, ensure the powder is able to enter all parts of the hazard.

D. Carbon Dioxide - Direct the stream over the fuel surface. Since the liquid will vapourise quickly, do not stand too far away from the risk. If fighting an electrical hazard, ensure the gas is able to enter all parts of the hazard.


E. Halocarbons - Direct the stream over the fuel surface. Since the liquid will vapourise quickly, do not stand too far away from the risk. If fighting an electrical hazard, ensure the gas is able to enter all parts of the hazard.

Class of FireFuel Types Recommended Agents A Wood, Paper Water, Foam B Oil Foam, Dry Chemical C Flammable Gases Dry Chemical, Water D Metals Special Agents E Electrical Carbon Dioxide, Haloncarbons, Dry Chemical
