wet chenmical fire agent
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Wet chemical fire agents are predominantly used in extinguishing fires involving cooking oils and fats, classified as Class K fires in the United States. These agents work by forming a foam layer that cools the fire and prevents re-ignition by isolating the fuel from the air. Typically, they contain a mixture of potassium acetate, potassium carbonate, or potassium citrate. Designed for use in commercial kitchens, such as those in restaurants, hotels, and hospitals, wet chemical extinguishers are a critical safety feature. They are effective because the wet chemical agent reacts with cooking fats and oils to create a soap-like substance, which helps to cool down the hot fats and block oxygen. Regular fire extinguishers can spread the flammable liquids in a kitchen fire, making wet chemical extinguishers the preferred choice for these specific fire hazards.
