How Kidde WHDR Wet Chemical Systems Work
- Fire is detected by the Kidde 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.
- Kidde 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 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.
