Fire Suppression

ZEUS FIRE SUPRESSION FOR KITCHEN HOOD.

The equipment functions in both professional and domestic kitchens with the use of Electrical Power and/or of Gas-Propane. In these areas, large quantities of flammable materials are used, such as cooking oils and fats, which are especially dangerous to ignite. Based on the relevant legislation, the appropriate extinguishing agent used for such fires has to be of category (F) – Cooking Oils & Fats. The fire extinguishing agent MOBIAK uses, commercially named as F-Class Solution/Wet Chemical, is approved by the Fire Brigade Headquarters (Protocol Number 56404F.701.6, 9/11/2009) for suppression of category (F) and (A) fires – Cooking Oil & Fats and Solid Fuels. This fire extinguishing material (F-Class Solution/Wet Chemical) is a carboxylic acid salt solution which suspends fires by creating a saponified layer (crust) that prevents oxygen from interacting with the burning surface, cools down the area and eliminates the possibilities for re-ignition. The low acidity level (PH: 9 at 20°C) prevents any damage caused to surfaces made of stainless steel.

The Electromechanical Fire Suppression System with the commercial name “ZEUS” uses the F-Class Solution/Wet Chemical extinguishing agent and the most Advanced, Efficient, Reliable & Certified Fire Detection Solution resulting in the Direct & Effective (F) category fire suppression for Professional Kitchens.

Fire is detected by an approved (UL/FM) Linear Heat Detection Cable of activation temperatures 138°C, 180°C or 250°C, the installation of which is particularly quick & simple. This Cable is connected with a Fire Detection Panel that controls the Automatic Operation of the System. More precisely, the Certified Cable offers unique Reliability & Safety since it can detect the potential base of the fire in all the surface of the protected Kitchen and the Exhaust Hood, as well as in the Exhaust Airways.

The great advantage of the detection cable, compared to the detection pneumatic cables, is that it is not under pressure, and as a result the possibilities for alterations due to temperature changes in the Exhaust Hood are minimal. Its life cycle is 10 years and it is almost maintenance free. The Detection Cable support mounting is realized with stainless steel cable ties on to the Hydraulic Extinguishing Agent Distribution Network. Especially simple is the connection of cables of different activation temperatures using porcelain splice connectors. The big competitive advantage of the Fire Detection Panel MOB2001 is based on the fact that it is designed in order to be the simplest of its kind regarding installation procedures and the most reliable regarding performance – extremely simple external wiring connections with simple Electrical System Components.

Fire Suppression System “ZEUS” for Class (F) fires destined to Professional Kitchens is the most Reliable and Convenient Solution for the End User, whereas it offers by far the Safest, Fastest, Simplest & most Efficient Installation Process.
