Fire Extinguishers
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.
  • Extinguisher Rating - 75F
  • Maximum Area for two Extinguishers m2 - 0.40
  • Maximum Area for one Extinguisher m2 - 0.11
    Cleaning
    After a cooling period (2 hours recommended) the pan/fryer can be cleaned out and if the fryer has not been damaged by fire, refilled and put straight back to use. The frying media and extinguishant can be disposed of with normal waste.
