Description
Ansul R102 Regulated Actuator Assembly.
- Functionality: The ANSUL Regulated Actuator R-102 is responsible for regulating the flow of fire suppression agent (typically a liquid chemical such as potassium carbonate) from the storage tank to the discharge nozzles when activated. It ensures a controlled release of the fire suppression agent to effectively extinguish fires in commercial kitchen appliances such as fryers, griddles, and ranges.
- Activation Mechanism: The actuator is typically activated by a detection system that senses the presence of a fire. This may include heat-sensitive fusible links, detectors, or other fire detection devices installed in the kitchen hood or near the cooking appliances.
- Regulation Mechanism: The actuator is equipped with a mechanism that controls the flow of the fire suppression agent, ensuring an appropriate discharge rate to effectively suppress the fire while minimizing potential damage to the kitchen equipment and surrounding areas.
- Materials and Construction: The actuator is constructed from durable materials such as stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant alloys to withstand the harsh conditions present in commercial kitchen environments. It is designed for reliability and long-term performance.
- Compatibility: The ANSUL Regulated Actuator R-102 is specifically designed for use with ANSUL’s R-102 Fire Suppression System. It is engineered to integrate seamlessly with other components of the system for optimal performance.
- Certifications and Compliance: The actuator may be certified by relevant regulatory agencies or standards organizations to ensure compliance with safety and performance standards. This ensures that the actuator meets the necessary requirements for protecting commercial kitchens from fire hazards.
- Installation and Maintenance: Proper installation and regular maintenance are crucial for ensuring the continued effectiveness of the fire suppression system. Installation should be performed by qualified technicians according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, and regular inspections and maintenance should be conducted to ensure that the actuator and other system components are functioning correctly.
