Aesthetically Appealing APPLICA liON The PIRANHA,. Restaurant Fire Suppression System is an automatic, pre- engineered, fixed. fire suppression system designed to protect the following areas asso- ciated with cooking equipment; ventilating equipment including hoods, ducts. plenums, and filters; fryers; griddles and range tops; upright, natural charcoal. or chain-type broil- ers; Electric. lava rock. mesquite or gas-radi- ant char-broilers and woks. The system is ideally suitable for use in restaurants. hospitals, nursing homes. hotels, schools, airports. and other similar facilities. Use of the PIRANHA Restaurant system is limited to interior applications only. The regu- lated release and tank assemblies must be mounted in an area where the air tempera- ture will not fall below 32 OF (0 OC) or exceed 130 OF (54 oC). The system must be designed and installed within the guidelines of the UL Listed Design. Installation. Recharge, and Maintenance Manual. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The PIRANHA Restaurant Wet Agent Fire Suppression system is a dual-agent, pre- engineered. fixed. automatic fire extinguish- ing system developed specifically for improved fire protection of commercial restaurant cooking appliances, exhaust hoods and ducts. The PIRANHA system is available in 3 sizes: PIRANHA-7 (1.5 gallon, 7 nozzle capacity) PIRANHA-10 (2.25 gallon. 10 nozzle capacity) PIRANHA-13 (3.0 gallon, 13 nozzle capacity) When actuated, the system discharges a fixed amount of proprietary wet chemical agent followed by water through the same nozzles. Water is provided by a connection to the potable water supply.

The longer retention of the foam blan- ket allows the hot grease to cool well below the auto-ignition temperature. Patents are pending for both the new propri- etary wet chemical agent and the dual agent system itself, The wa ter spray portion of the system is pro- vided by a connection to the potable water supply. The system design for appliance protection under the hood allows the nozzles to be positioned uniformly from one end of the appliance line to the other. Most appliances under the hood can be protected in this over- lapping manner, therefore, it is not necessary to protect each appliance individually. Appliances are free to be shifted around 001551 under the hood. The only exception to this overlapping type coverage are upright broil- ers. salamanders. and chain broilers. These type appliances requires dedicated nozzle protection. The system is capable of automatic detection and actuation and/or remote manual actua- tion, Additional equipment is available for mechanical or electrical gas line shut-off applications. The detection portion of the fire suppression system allows for automatic detection by means of specific alloy rated fusible link detectors, which, when the temperature exceeds the rating of the link, the link separates, allowing the regulated release to actuate. A system owner's guide is available contain- ing basic information pertaining to system operation and maintenance. A detailed tech- nical manual is also available including system description, design, installation, recharge, and maintenance procedures, plus additional equipment installation and resetting instructions. The system is installed and serviced by authorized distributors that are trained by the manufacturer.
