Pyro-Chem KITCHEN KNIGHT II System

General

The KITCHEN KNIGHT II Restaurant Kitchen Fire Suppression System is a pre-engineered solution to appliance and ventilating hood and duct grease fires. The system is designed to maximize hazard protection, reliability, and installation efficiency. Automatic or manual systems activation releases a throttle discharge of potassium carbonate solution on the protected area in the form of fine droplets to suppress the fire and help prevent reignition after the discharge is complete.

System Operation

The KITCHEN KNIGHT II Restaurant Kitchen Fire Suppression System has been designed for protecting kitchen hood, plenum, exhaust duct, grease filters, and cooking appliances (such as fryers, griddles, rangetops, upright broilers, charbroilers and works) from grease fires. The versatile state-of-the-art wet chemical distribution technique, combined with dual, independent activation capability - automatic fusible link or manual release - provides efficient, reliable protection the moment a fire is detected. Once initiated, the pressurized wet chemical extinguishing agent cylinder dischargers a potassium carbonate solution through a pre-engineered piping network and out the discharge nozzles. The we chemical discharge pattern is maintained for a duration of time to ensure suppression and inhibit reignition. Expanded capability provides remote manual actuation, gas equipment shutdown, and electrical system shutdown. This optional equipment will enhance the basic system functions and be applicable when designing custom configurations to suit a particular customer's needs and/or comply with local codes.

The operating temperature range of the Pyro-Chem KITCHEN KNIGHT II System is 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C).
