Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers
The Cooking Oil Fire Extinguisher
Class F - Wet chemical fire extinguisher
Standard size is a 75f rating unit, contains 6 Litres of extinguishant. 75f rating means the Extinguisher has Extinguished a 75 Litre test fire of cooking oils heated to their Auto Ignition Temperature.
How It Works
The chemicals react with the heat and the frying media creating a crust on the surface with a porridge like consistency ( known as the soaponification), which extinguishes the fire in normally just a few seconds (5-10). The extinguishant also permeates through the frying media and makes any chance of re-ignition impossible.
Advantages
Safety - extinguisher has a diffuser nozzle at the end of a lance reducing the discharge pressure so that a fine mist covers an area approximately 1.5 x 1.5m, which means it can be sprayed directly onto the surface of the fire without any flash back risk to the operator. At this point, the pan/fryer lid can be closed, heat turned off and operation of the business, using the rest of the range, can continue.
Maximum area of class F fire (Cooking Oil) for which Wet Chemical extinguishers are suitable.
