ANSUL R-102 – Two Options for Flexible Protection
The appliance-specific design is one of the two protection options available with the ANSUL R-102 restaurant fire suppression system. The most efficient fire protection is accomplished when nozzles are selected and aimed at specific hazard areas on each appliance. This method typically provides the most economical use of liquid agent, reducing the size or quantity of storage tanks and associated hardware.
Overlapping appliance protection is flexible and simple. Nozzles are arranged in a straight line, providing overlapping agent discharge patterns where appliances can be protected, even if they are replaced or rearranged under the hood.
Torvac’s Kitchen Fire Suppression Team have designed, installed and serviced fire protection systems in commercial kitchens for over 20 years. Contact us for a detailed recommendation or a fire protection system design for your commercial kitchen, or to enquire about servicing your current system.
