(1) When a fire occurs in a protected area, it is quickly sensed by detectors located in the ductwork or cooking appliance hood.

(2) The detectors trigger the ANSUL AUTOMAN® release mechanism which actuates the system... pressurizing the agent storage tank and automatically shutting off appliance energy sources in the event of a fire.

(3) ANSULEX LowpH liquid fire suppressant flows through the piping and is discharged into the plenum and duct areas and onto the cooking appliances.

(4) The ANSULEX agent is applied directly on the fire in specific spray patterns, suppressing the fire in seconds. As it smothers the hot cooking greases, a foam blanket is formed, sealing off combustible vapors to help prevent fire reflashes.

Kitchen Fires Keep Getting hotter.

The preparation of low cholesterol, low-fat foods requires the use of hotter burning vegetable oils And highly insulated, slow-cooking appliances have become more commonplace As a result fires in today's appliances are more difficult to extinguish and secure than in the past

The PRX Agent Solution

K-GUARD extinguishers contain PRX Liquid Fire Suppressant, a specially formulated, aqueous solution of inorganic salts In addition to knocking down the flame and forming a vapor securing blanket, PRX agent provides a cooling effect that aids in the extinguishing and securing process For these reasons, Ansul uses this same liquid agent in both our K-GUARD extinguishers and our PIRANHA restaurant fire suppression systems.
