The Use of Pre-Engineered Dry and Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher Systems

The intended purposes of Dry and Wet chemical extinguishing systems are to quickly extinguish fires and prevent fires from re-igniting.

Dry chemical extinguishing systems use sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate or ammonium phosphate as an extinguishing agent. Dry chemical extinguishing systems can be used for commercial cooking areas and automobile cooking areas.

Wet chemical extinguishing systems use a variety of chemical compositions to extinguish agents. These types of extinguishing systems can only be used for commercial cooking areas only.

Appliances that commonly catch fire in commercial cooking areas are deep fat fryers, griddles, gas/ electric radiant charbroilers, charbroilers and chain broilers.
