PIRANHA® Fire Suppression Systems ANSUL® PIRANHA®
From Ansul Fire Protection, Fest Fire Security is pleased to announce the Piranha System--a new modern generation of restaurant kitchen fire suppression systems
In the last 10 years major developments have changed the ways of commercial cooking. Cooking equipment currently manufactured uses more efficient burners, resulting in much higher heating rates. More cooking is done with vegetable oil instead of animal fats. Vegetable oils have a much higher auto ignition temperature. Fryers are now made with improved insulation that slows the cooling rate, but which also increases the risk of a re-flash in the event of fire. Restaurant and Hotel Kitchen fires are much harder to extinguish than they were 10 or 20 years ago.
The Piranha hood system features fast flame knockdown with the power of a wet chemical suppression agent, and the cooling capability of water. Tests using the Piranha double agent system have shown dramatically increased fire suppression system performance. The Piranha hood system offers the following advantages:
- Revolutionary wet chemical and water kitchen fire suppression system
- Twice the coverage of conventional single-agent hood systems
- Cools cooking oils 15 times faster than simple wet chemical kitchen fire suppression systems
- Flexible nozzle coverage compared to the older hood systems
- Smaller and fewer agent storage tanks
Please note that changes by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to standard #10 now require a special "K Class" hand portable fire extinguisher in cooking areas.
If we can assist you with the selection of your Piranha kitchen fire suppression system, complete our Survey Request Form and one of our professionals will contact you.
Service of your Ansul system is as important than the equipment itself. At Fest Fire Security our technicians use a check list complete with all the manufacturer’s ert maintenance steps performed during the bi-annual service of your system. We offer 24 hour emergency recharge service.
When updating your Ansul System to the latest technology, be sure and change your fire extinguishers, too. Fire extinguishers designed specifically for kitchens are now available.
