How Do WHDR Wet Chemical Systems Work?

Fire is detected by the Kidde Fire Systems mechanical link, or electric Detect-A-Fire® (DAF), or the system is manually activated by a remote pull station.
The XV™ Control System simultaneously actuates up to 20 pressurized agent storage containers, shuts down fuel and power sources to the appliances and activates the building fire alarm.
The Kidde Fire Systems APC wet chemical agent, designed specifically for the challenges posed by oil and grease in a kitchen environment, is propelled through the system piping by the stored pressure container.
The Kidde Fire Systems APC agent discharges from strategically positioned nozzles protecting the hood, duct and appliances. APC agent quickly suppresses the flames and forms a protective layer that not only extinguishes the fire, but also prevents re-ignition.

System Description:

The Kidde Wet Chemical System consists of a supply of wet chemical stored in one or more Cylinder and Valve Assemblies. Each cylinder is pressure activated by a System Valve Actuator.

The system can be actuated either automatically and/or manually, using mechanical, electrical, or pressure actuation devices. Upon actuation, the wet chemical is discharged through agent distribution piping and specially designed nozzles positioned throughout the protected area.
