Kitchen Hood Fire Suppression System
A kitchen fire suppression system is essential for maintaining safety within commercial kitchens in Singapore. Designed to extinguish fires in cooking areas quickly, the system is pivotal in preventing small flames from escalating. It detects heat and fire automatically, releasing suppression agents directly onto the cooking surface and into the ventilation system to rapidly respond to fire incidents. Given the high potential for grease and oil fires in commercial kitchens, having a reliable kitchen hood fire suppression system is indispensable for any culinary establishment’s safety and operational integrity. It is also a critical requirement for restaurant fire safety compliance.

How Do Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems Work?
Kitchen fire suppression systems operate on a simple yet effective mechanism designed to actuate at the first sign of a fire. This system typically includes a network of heat detectors, nozzles, and piping strategically placed above cooking surfaces and within ventilation hoods. When a certain temperature is reached, the system is triggered, releasing a suppression agent.
The wet chemical suppression agent is most commonly used, forming a soapy foam layer that cools and blankets the fire, blocking oxygen and preventing re-ignition. In addition to fire extinguishing, the system automatically shuts off the fuel or electrical supply to cooking equipment, eliminating potential fire sources. The system also sends a signal to shut off the MV fan to prevent the fire from being sucked into the exhaust duct. This integrated approach ensures a swift and comprehensive response to fires, which is crucial for the high-risk environment of commercial kitchens, minimizing damage and ensuring kitchen operations can safely resume as soon as possible.
