Fire Suppression

Kitchen Knight II RESTAURANT FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM The Pyro-Chem Kitchen KnightŪ II Restaurant Kitchen Fire Suppression System is a pre-engineered solution to protect appliances, kitchen hoods, and ducts. The system is designed to maximize hazard protection, reliability, and installation efficiency. Automatic or manual system activation releases a throttle discharge of potassium carbonate solution on the protected area in the form of fine droplets to suppress the fire and help prevent re-ignition after the discharge is complete.    FEATURES     UL and ULC Approved Complies with NFPA Standard 17A and 96 Meets the requirements of the Building Officials and Code Administrators Approved by the City of New York Material and Equipment Acceptance Division    SYSTEM OPERATION     The Pyro-Chem Kitchen KnightŪ II Restaurant Kitchen Fire Suppression System has been designed for protecting kitchen hood, plenum, exhaust duct, grease filters, and cooking appliances (such as fryers, griddles, rangetops, upright broilers, charbroilers and woks) from grease fires. The versatile state-of-the-art wet chemical distribution technique, combined with dual, independent activation capability - automatic fusible link or manual release - provides efficient, reliable protection the moment a fire is detected. Once initiated, the pressurized wet chemical extinguishing agent cylinder discharges a potassium carbonate solution through a pre-engineered piping network and out the discharge nozzles. The wet chemical discharge pattern is maintained for a duration of time to ensure suppression and inhibit re-ignition. Expanded capability provides remote manual actuation, gas equipment shutdown, and electrical system shutdown. This optional equipment will enhance the basic system functions and be applicable when designing custom configurations to suit a particular customer's needs and/or comply with local codes.
