Safe Fire Suppression for FatGrease Fires in Industrial Fryers
Effective Fire Protection with High-Pressure Water Mist
Effective Fire Protection with High-Pressure Water Mist
Fires can reach extremely high temperatures and spread rapidly. They are difficult to control using conventional firefighting methods.
High-pressure water mist systems offer an effective solution. The fine droplets evaporate instantly above the hot oil surface, extracting heat from the fire.
pre-warning times requirement assures safe environment for people and minimal fire damage thus business interruption
cooling effect compared to any other firefighting agent assures safe environment for people and effectively avoids re-ignitions
This process extinguishes the flames, prevents re-ignition and eliminates the risk of fat explosions. At the same time, clean-up after system activation is minimal.
High-pressure water mist systems can be installed flexibly, either decentralised using a self-contained cylinder system, or as a centralised system with a pump unit. This allows the system to be tailored to the specific fire protection needs of industrial fryers and other areas with high risk of fat fires.
FAQ – Fire Protection in Industrial Fryers
Why are grease fires in industrial fryers particularly dangerous?
Grease fires can reach extremely high temperatures within a very short time and spread rapidly throughout a facility. Conventional extinguishing methods, such as water or powder, are generally ineffective. Improper firefighting may also lead to re-ignition or even explosions.
How does high-pressure water mist combat grease fires?
The fine water droplets evaporate directly on the hot grease surface, removing heat from the fire and extinguishing the flames. At the same time, water mist prevents re-ignition and reduces the risk of grease explosions.
What are the advantages of a water mist system over conventional extinguishing methods?
In addition to its high effectiveness against grease fires, high-pressure water mist leaves minimal residues, resulting in lower post-activation cleaning efforts compared to foam or powder systems.
How can a water mist system be installed in an industrial fryer setup?
Installation is highly flexible. Depending on the requirements, either a decentralized, standalone cylinder system or a centralized pump system can be used. This allows the system to be adapted to different operational scales and safety concepts.
