A wet chemical fire suppression system is specifically designed to tackle cooking fires. It works by detecting a fire and releasing a wet chemical that suffocates the flames, preventing them from spreading. The nozzles for the system are installed in the kitchen hood exhaust, which allows the substances to be discharged directly onto the fire source.
Wet chemical suppression system is used to protect modern commercial kitchen from potential threats like open flame, red hot cooking surface and heavily grease laden environment which in turn leads to oil and grease fires.
