instaproteKt - Kitchen Hood Fire Suppression

The instaproteKt Kitchen hood Fire Suppression System – Optima Series from Gunnebo India, is an ideal solution specifically designed to protect areas associated with kitchen ventilation equipment including hoods, ducts, plenums, and filters installed in industrial and commercial kitchens.

Linear Heat Sensing cable is the detection component of this fire suppression system, which sends signal to gas discharge panel when temperature rises to a pre-defined level (180º C). After receiving signal, panel triggers the actuation of solenoid valve for agent release.

The nozzles of the fire suppression system are installed in the exhaust hood, positioned at an angle covering food preparation equipment, plenum and duct. After system actuation, wet chemical discharged from the nozzles blankets burning surface to cut off oxygen and cools down the combustible material i.e. cooking oil. The system extinguishes fire with precision at the hood level without impacting rest of the kitchen area, it means that other part of the kitchen can remain operational immediately after clean-up.

The system is capable of automatic detection and actuation as well as manual actuation. Additional integration accessories are available for electrical and gas line shut-off applications.

The system is suitable for installation in restaurants, hospitals, nursing homes, hotels, schools, airports and industrial kitchens.
