Deep fat fryers are very common in both food industries and restaurants. These fat fryers must be protected against fire as the oil may self-ignite as a result of the heat. A fire in a deep fat fryer is almost impossible to put out with a hand held fire extinguisher and the fire may cause severe damages.
The Ultra Fog system for deep fat fryers consist of an accumulator cylinder with pressurized nitrogen and water. This accumulator is connected to a fat fryer nozzle through a special valve. The valve monitors the system pressure and is used to cut of electrical power to fat fryers and fans if the pressure is to low. The nozzle can be activated either automatically like a bulb nozzle or manually by pulling the valve handle.
The fat fryer system extinguishes fire in a fat fryer effectively and is totally clean and harmless. After the system has been released all that needs to be done is to fill the accumulator bottle with nitrogen and water. This can be done without removing any parts of the system. When the system is pressurized the equipment is ready for use. The use of pure water only means there is no decontamination needed.
