APPLICATION :
The Ansul R-102 Restaurant Fire Suppression
System is an automatic, pre- engineered, fire suppression system
designed to protect the following areas associated with cooking
equipment; ventilating equipment including hoods, ducts, plenums, and
filters; fryers; griddles and range tops; upright, natural charcoal, or
chain-type broilers; electric, lava rock, mesquite or gas-radiant
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 R-102 system is limited to interior
applications only. The regulated release and tank assemblies must be
mounted in an area where the air temperature will not fall below 32F
(0C) or exceed 130F (54C). The system must be designed and installed
within the guidelines of the UL Listed Design, Installation, Recharge,
and Maintenance Manual.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION :
The restaurant fire suppression system is a
pre-engineered, wet chemical, cartridge- operated, regulated pressure
type with a fixed nozzle agent distribution network. It is listed with
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL).
The system is capable of automatic detection
and actuation and/or remote manual actuation. 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 links, 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 containing
basic information pertaining to system operation and maintenance. A
detailed technical 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.
The basic system consists of an ANSUL AUTOMAN
regulated release assembly which includes a regulated release mechanism
and a wet chemical storage tank housed within a single enclosure. Nozzle
blow-off caps, detectors, cartridges, agent, fusible links, and pulley
elbows are supplied in separate packages in the quantities need- ed for
fire suppression system arrangements.
Additional equipment includes remote manual
pull station, mechanical and electrical gas valves, pressure switches,
and electrical switches for automatic equipment and gas line shut-off.
Accessories can be added such as alarms, warning lights, etc., to
installations where required.
Tanks can be used in multiple arrangements to
allow for larger hazard coverage. Each tank is limited to a listed
maximum amount of flow numbers.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION:
- Wet Chemical Agent
- The extinguishing agent is a potassium carbonate, potassium
acetate-based formulation designed for rapid flame knockdown and
foam securement of grease related fires. It is available in plastic
containers with instructions for wet chemical handling and usage.
- Agent Tank -
The agent tank is installed in a stainless steel enclosure or wall
bracket. The tank is deep drawn carbon steel finished in red enamel.
Tanks are available in two sizes: 1.5 gallon (5.7 L) and 3.0 gallon
(11.4 L). The tanks have a working pressure of 100 psi (6.9 bar), a
test pressure of 300 psi (20.7 bar), and a minimum burst pressure of
600 psi (41.4 bar). The tank includes an adaptor/tube assembly. The
adaptor is chrome-plated steel with a 1/4 in. NPT female gas inlet
and a 3/8 in. NPT female agent outlet. The adaptor also contains a
bursting disc seal which prevents the siphoning of agent up the pipe
during extreme temperature variations.
- Regulated Release
Mechanism - The regulated release mechanism is a
spring-loaded, mechanical/pneumatic type capable of providing the
expellant gas supply to one or two agent tanks, depending on the
capacity of the gas cartridge used. It contains a factory installed
regulator deadset at 100 psi (6.9 bar) with an internal relief of
approximately 145 psi (10.0 bar). It has automatic actuation
capabilities by a fusible link detection system and remote manual
actuation by a mechanical pull station. The regulated release
mechanism contains a release assembly, regulator, expellant gas
hose, and agent storage tank housed in a stainless steel enclosure
with cover. The enclosure contains knock-outs for 1/2 in. conduit.
The cover contains an opening for a visual status indicator. It is
compatible with mechanical gas shut-off devices; or, when equipped
with a field or factory-installed switch, it is compatible with
electric gas line or appliance shut-off devices.
- Regulated Actuator
Assembly - When more than two agent tanks are required, the
regulated actuator is available to provide expellant gas for
additional tanks. It is connected to the cartridge receiver outlet
of the regulated release mechanism providing simultaneous agent
discharge. It contains a regulated actuator deadset at 100 psi (6.9
bar) with an internal relief of approximately 145 psi (10.0 bar).The
regulated actuator assembly contains a regulated actuator,
regulator, expellant gas hose, and agent tank housed in a stainless
steel enclosure with cover. The enclosure contains knockouts to
permit installation of the expellant gas line.
- Discharge Nozzles
- Each discharge nozzle is tested and listed with the R-102 system
for a specific application. Nozzle tips are stamped with the flow
number designation (1/2, 1, 2, and 3). Each nozzle must have a metal
or rubber blow-off cap to keep the nozzle tip orifice free of
cooking grease build-up.
