UL Certified ULtra X Kitchen Fire Suppression System
PUTTING AN END TO KITCHEN FIRES WITH ULTRA-X
Even the most meticulously maintained and efficiently operated commercial and industrial kitchens can still experience unexpected mishaps. No matter how much precaution one takes, fire is unavoidable as it is used as a medium of cooking, along with a whole host of cooking appliances and flammable materials present.Ceasefire's Ultra-X Commercial Kitchen Suppression System is a cutting-edge, automated, engineered solution that is designed to address the unique fire risks that a commercial kitchen environment poses. The system is certified to the UL 300 standard and adhere to the NFPA 96/17A guidelines.
WHAT MAKES CEASEFIRE’S ULTRA-X SERIES CLASS APART?
Choice of Detection:
The system comes with three types of detection and activation configuration options to suit every kind of kitchen application.
A. Electrically Triggered
Intelligent LHS-based detection activates the system automatically when the temperature reaches a predefined level in case of a fire episode in a cooking appliance.
Probe Detection
The system can also be configured with the Probe Detector driven detection module, which creates a switching effect and automatically activates at a predefined temperature.
B. Mechanically Activated Fusible Links
Activated by heat, the two halves of the fusible link separate, triggering the system to discharge the agent onto the appliance that has caught fire.
C. Hybrid System
The hybrid system uses a mechanical fusible-link based detection and the activation is part mechanical and part electrical. The system can trigger up to four mechanically activated agent containers and up to six electrically triggered containers, simultaneously.
2. Only Two Nozzle Types
The Ceasefire's Ultra-X Series Kitchen Suppression System uses only two nozzle types for all system configurations and applications, making the system design simpler and error-proof.
a. 15 degrees nozzle for the plenum.
b. 40 degrees nozzle for all types of equipment.With just two nozzle types, the system can be configured to protect all types of cooking appliances while maintaining consistent flow
rate. This allows a huge advantage to the chef who can easily interchange the appliances without changing the system layout or type of nozzle.
The system using only two nozzle types also makes installation and maintenance extremely simple.3. Continuous/Overlapping Protection
A unique feature of Ceasefire’s UL listed Kitchen Suppression Systems is that they can be designed for Group or Overlapping/ Continuous Protection.
Group Protection is required where a cluster of appliances need to be protected as a group. Whereas, the Continuous/ Overlapping Protection is required where the mandate is to protect everything under the length of the hood, uniformly. This allows the chef
to move the cooking appliances or the hot/cold area under the hood as per his will.4. Spot Protection
Unlike continuous protection, the system can also be configured to protect specific spots under the hood using single nozzle, if required. This type of arrangement is ideal when the cooking appliance used or cooking spot under the hood is fixed.
5. Monitorable Stored Pressure Technology
The Ceasefire system is a true stored pressure type monitorable system not only because the agent is pre-pressurized in the container, but also the agent is released directly by activation of the valve mechanically or electrically.
Ceasefire systems offer multiple monitoring options, including a Pressure Switch, Pressure Gauge, and Pressure Gauge Switch, enabling both visual and electronic monitoring. These devices help monitor your fire suppression system 24/7, 365 days a year, ensuring continuous protection and peace of mind.
This is a big advantage over many stored-pressure type systems available in market that are activated pneumatically by an external cartridge, do not have a monitoring mechanism and are incapable of providing real-time readiness of the system.
6. Chef-Friendly & Aesthetically Pleasing Design Options
Ceasefire’s UL-listed kitchen suppression systems are designed aesthetically with a universal installation and placement approach, ensuring its adaptability to different kitchen layouts and requirements.
The nozzles placed on the front or side of the kitchen hood, with also versatility of height placement, enhance the chef's convenience and operational efficiency.
7. Powerful & Earth-Friendly Extinguishing Agent
The system uses a potent wetting agent of vegetal origin, capable of rapidly extinguishing various types of kitchen fires within seconds. The biodegradability feature of the agent adds to its environmental
friendliness.The agent meets the Reach Compliance and does not contain SVHC (Substance of Very High Concern).
8. Multiple Piping Options
Multiple piping options are possible depending upon the customers’ requirement:
A. Rapid Installation Using Compression Fittings
Compression Fittings makes it easier for installers to install the system with minimal turnaround time. This also aids in the maintenance of the system by easing the process of installing and uninstalling the system components.
B. Cost-effective Pipelines
Installation of the system can also be done using black iron chrome piping that makes installation cost-effective.
C. Multi - Cylinder Connectivity Using ManifoldHere, the system allows multiple containers to be connected via a single supply line which eliminates the need for individual supply lines running from the agent container to the hood. Thus, reducing the time, piping and labour cost, while also ensuring a neat system installation.
9. Continuous Wire Arrangement Based Fusible Links
The mechanically driven systems have an option to use Ceasefire’s unique continuous wire arrangement based fusible links over S-hook type ones. This continuous wire arrangement based fusible links takes the detection and reliability of the system to the next level.
10. Third Party Integration
The system with the presence of three SPDT or DPDT microswitches in the Mechanical Actuation Unit (MAU) eliminates the requirement of additional relays for third-party integrations. Some examples of third-paty integrations that you could do with the system, include -
- Electric appliance shutdown
- Make up air shutdown
- Electric gas valve shutdown
- Shunt-breaker/relay
- Alarm initiation (Hooter/ Strobe/ FAS/ BMS etc.).
- Solenoid release (Operate SOV and Gas shutoff valve)
11. Protects Wide Range Of Equipment & Appliances
Tested for performance and safety on a wide variety of cooking equipment and appliances.
12. Capable Of Protecting Small To Big Kitchen Hoods
The Ceasefire's Ultra-X Series Kitchen Suppression Systems can protect the smallest kitchen hood length of 800 mm with a minimum of 3 nozzles configuration to a maximum of 7m kitchen hood length with 18 nozzles configuration, with a single container system, providing full protection. For larger sized hoods, the design allows to add up to four containers into a manifold and install up to 26 nozzles.
13. Fully Compliant To EN 16282-7
The compliance to EN 16282-7 ensures that your kitchen suppression system is installed and maintained adhering to world class quality standards.
In the event of a fire, when the temperature rises to a predefined level the detection module kicks into action to trigger the system. The fire detection module in the Ceasefire Ultra-X System could either be Electrical Triggered or Mechanical Fusible Links based.
Electrical Detection:
In case of an Electrically triggered system, the Linear Heat Sensing Cable or Probe detector senses the fire when the temperature rises to a predefined level creating a switching effect and signaling it to the control panel. The control panel in turn triggers the system by activating the solenoid valve on the container head.
Mechanical Detection:
The Mechanically activated system gets activated when the two halves of the fusible link separate when the temperature reaches a predefined level due to fire. This mechanically triggers the system via the Mechanical Actuation Unit and activates the valve on the container head, releasing the agent.
Hybrid System:
In the hybrid system the detection is mechanical and the activation is part mechanical and part electrical. A fusible link based detection network actuates up to four (4) mechanically activated containers using the piercing pin mechanism and up to six (6) electrically activated (solenoid valve based) containers using a power-signal
from the power adaptor via the micro-switch in the Mechanical Activation unit.System Activation and Suppression:
Activation through either of the above two detection methods results in the agent being discharged through a dedicated discharge line via specialised nozzles leaving no blind spots. The system is designed to give full protection against fire under the hood, plenum, and duct area.
Once activated, the gas shut-off valve which is an integral part of these systems instantly shuts down the gas supply to the appliances, ensuring complete safety of the premise. The systems can also be configured to cut off the power supply to an electrically powered cooking appliance, in case that is being used. The systems are equipped with at least one Manual Pull Station that provides immediate response capabilities, backing up the automatic suppression system. Electrical Systems also come with the provision of a manual call point.Ceasefire Ultra-X Kitchen Suppression System uses the greenest and the most sustainable extinguishing agent in the category. The extinguishant is a potent wetting agent that is derived from 100% biodegradable vegetal extract.
The agent also meets the REACH Compliance and does not contain SVHC (Substance of Very High Concern) making it extremely low on eco-toxicity and free of phosphate.This makes the agent one-of-its-kind to not only extinguish all types of kitchen fires rapidly but also do so without causing any harm to the environment.
The Ceasefire Ultra-X extinguishing agent is neutral, non-acidic or alkaline to harm anyone and is absolutely safe for humans. It has no record of causing any irritation to eyes, skin or respiratory tract on ingestion and is not classified as a hazardous product.
The Ceasefire Agent is also safe to be disposed off after use by simply washing it off the drain as it is well tolerated by sewage plant treatment operations.
