Kitchen Fire Stop is a fire suppression system designed for use in residential kitchens and is suitable for use in a food truck cooking area. However, it is important to ensure that the system you choose is specifically designed for use in a mobile food truck and complies with local fire safety regulations.
You should consult with a fire safety expert or the manufacturer of the Kitchen Fire Stop system to ensure that it is appropriate for your specific needs and meets the necessary requirements for use in a food truck. Additionally, you should ensure that the system is installed correctly and maintained regularly to ensure its effectiveness in the event of a fire.
It's possible that a food truck with a deep fryer may not be able to use the Kitchen Fire Stop system, depending on the specific design and layout of the truck's kitchen.
The Kitchen Fire Stop system uses a wet chemical agent that is designed to extinguish fires in cooking appliances such as griddles, and range tops. However, it may not be suitable for use in deep fryers, as the amount of wet chemical agent may not be sufficient to prevent fire re-ignition and extinguish the fire again.
In such cases, a fire suppression system specifically designed for deep fryers may be necessary. You should consult with a fire safety expert or the manufacturer of the Kitchen Fire Stop system to determine if it is appropriate for your specific needs and if there are any alternative fire suppression systems that would be more appropriate for a food truck with a deep fryer.
If the cooking surface in your kitchen is wider than the 36” coverage area of the Kitchen Fire Stop system, you may need to install multiple systems or consider an alternative fire suppression system that can cover the entire area.
One option is to install multiple Kitchen Fire Stop systems side-by-side to provide complete coverage. However, you should consult with a fire safety expert or the manufacturer of the Kitchen Fire Stop system to ensure that this approach is appropriate for your specific needs and complies with local fire safety regulations.
Another option is to consider a fire suppression system that is specifically designed to cover a wider area. There are several alternatives available, including wet chemical systems, dry chemical systems, and water mist systems, that can cover larger cooking surfaces and may be more appropriate for kitchens with wider hoods.
Regardless of the system you choose, it is important to ensure that it is installed correctly and maintained regularly to ensure its effectiveness in the event of a fire.
