Ceasefire UL Listed ULtraX Kitchen Fire Suppression System
INTRODUCTION
Even the most meticulously maintained and efficiently operated commercial and industrial kitchens can still experience unexpected mishaps. This is because fire is used as a medium of cooking, along with a whole host of cooking appliances and flammable materials present, the risk of fire in kitchens is always high.
Ceasefire's ULtraX Series Commercial Kitchen Suppression Systems are a cutting-edge, automated, engineered solution that are designed to address the unique fire risks that a commercial kitchen environment poses. These systems are certified to the UL 300 standard and adhere to the NFPA 96/17A guidelines.
Choice of Detection:
The system comes with two types of detection module options to suit every kind of kitchen application.
A. Electrically Triggered
Linear Heat Sensing (LHS) Cable Intelligent LHS-based detection activates the system automatically when the temperature reaches a predefined level in case of a fire episode in a cooking appliance.
Probe Detection:
The system can also be configured with the Probe Detector driven detection module, which creates a switching effect and automatically activates at a predefined temperature.
B. Mechanically Activated Fusible Links
Activated by heat, the two halves of the fusible link separate, triggering the system to discharge the agent onto the appliance that has caught fire.
2. Only Two Nozzle Types
The Ceasefire's ULtraX Series Kitchen Suppression System uses only two nozzle types for all system configurations and applications, making the system design simpler and error-proof.
A- 15 degrees nozzle for the plenum.
B- 40 degrees nozzle for all types of equipment.
3. Chef-Friendly & Aesthetically
Pleasing Design Ceasefire’s UL-listed kitchen suppression systems are designed aesthetically with a universal installation and placement approach, ensuring its adaptability to different kitchen layouts and requirements.
The nozzles placed on the front or side of the kitchen hood, with also versatility of height placement, enhance the chef's convenience and operational efficiency.
4. Powerful & Earth-Friendly
Extinguishing Agent The system uses a potent 10% concentrated wetting agent capable of rapidly extinguishing various types of kitchen fires within seconds.
The biodegradability feature of the agent adds to its environmental friendliness. The agent meets the Reach Compliance and does not contain SVHC (Substance of Very High Concern).
5. Easy to Monitor System
Readiness The stored pressure technology of the system with in-built pressure gauge makes it possible for one to know about the readiness of the system by mere observation.
Also, the presence of a pressure switch makes it possible to electronically monitor the system through the response panel.
6. Quick Installation
At Ceasefire we use pressurised compression fittings that makes it easier for our installers to install the system with minimal turnaround time.
This also aids in the maintenance of the system by easing the process of installing and uninstalling the system components.
7. Fully Compliant to EN 16282-7
The compliance to EN 16282-7 ensures that your kitchen suppression system is installed and maintained adhering to world class quality standards.
8. Protects wide range of Equipment & Appliances
Tested for performance and safety on a wide variety of cooking equipment and appliances.
9. Capable Of Protecting Small To Big Kitchen Hoods
The Ceasefire's ULtraX Series Kitchen Suppression Systems can protect the smallest kitchen hood length of 800 mm with a minimum of 3 nozzles configuration to a maximum of 7m kitchen hood length with 18 nozzles configuration, with a single container system, providing full protection.
In the event of a fire, when the temperature rises to a predefined level the detection module kicks into action to trigger the system.
The fire detection module in the Ceasefire ULtraX System could either be Electrical Triggered or Mechanical Fusible Links based.
Electrical Detection :-
In case of an Electrically triggered system, the Linear Heat Sensing Cable or Probe detector senses the fire when the temperature rises to a predefined level creating a switching effect and signalling it to the control panel.
The control panel in turn triggers the system by activating the solenoid valve on the container head.
Mechanical Detection:-
The Mechanically activated system gets activated when the two halves of the fusible link separate when the temperature reaches a predefined level due to fire. This mechanically triggers the system via the Mechanical Actuation Unit and activates the valve on the container head, releasing the agent.
System Activation and Suppression
Activation through either of the above two detection_ methods… results in the agent being discharged through a dedicated discharge line via specialised nozzles leaving no blind spots. The system is designed to give full protection against fire under the hood, plenum, and duct area.
Once activated, the gas shut-off valve which is an integral part of these systems instantly shuts down the gas supply to the appliances, ensuring complete safety of the premise.
The systems can also be configured to cut off the power supply to an electrically powered cooking appliance, in case that is being used.
The systems are equipped with at least one Manual Pull Station that provides immediate response capabilities, backing up the automatic suppression system.
Electrical Systems also come with the provision of a mechanically-driven manual call point.
Choice of 2 Detection Modules:
Electrical and Mechanical.
Electrical Cut-Off Valve:
The systems can be configured to cut off the power supply to an electrically powered appliance, in case an electrical appliance is being used for cooking.
Ease of Shipping:
Supply of the agent in concentrated form allows for convenient shipping and portability.
Versatile Nozzle Design:
Only two nozzle types for all system configurations and applications. Metal caps on nozzles ensure protection against grease deposits & obstructions.
Highly Potent and Eco-Friendly Agent:
10% concentrated wetting agent highly potent on kitchen fires and 100% biodegradable which meets the reach compliance and does not contain SVHC (Substance of Very High Concentration)
Stored Pressure Technology:
Keeps the system under constant pressure, ensuring prompt and effective deployment of the agent to enhance the system's reliability and responsiveness.
Quick Installation:
The piping network uses compression fittings with 10mm, 8mm, and 6mm branching that allows or quick and easyinstallation.
Integrated Gas Shut-Off Valve:
Gas Shut-off Valve automatically Stops the supply of gas, ensuring the safety of the premise.
The systems can be configured to cut off the power supply to an electrically powered appliance, in case an electrical appliance is being used for cooking.

“EN 16282-7 is a European Standard that lays forth the technical safety, ergonomic, and hygienic standards for the design, manufacture, and use of kitchen ventilation hoods.
The ventilation systems in commercial kitchens, related spaces, and other facilitiesprocessing meals meant for commercial use must comply with this European Standard.
Kitchens and associated areas are special rooms in which meals are prepared, where tableware and equipment is washed, cleaned, food is stored and food waste areas.
A process for verification of each requirement is also well-defined. By establishing uniform rules for performance testing, servicing & maintenance, and danger classifications such as re, the new technical standard assists in bringing uniformity in regulations across the industry.
The standard helps to better protect people, property, and businesses by bringing the restaurant industry closer to more effective commercial kitchen re prevention.”
