What Are Kitchen Hood Controls?
Kitchen hood controls dictate how a fire suppression range hood operates, both during normal operation and when it detects a fire. During normal operation, data from temperature, humidity, and smoke sensors are used to control make-up air and exhaust fan speeds so they can eliminate grease, remove excessive heat, and improve air quality. When a fire is detected, the system works to prevent its spread.
How Do Hood Controls Help to Protect Against Fires?
When a commercial hood control panel detects a fire, it can help to prevent its spread by:
- Turning off the fresh air supply to deprive the fire of oxygen
- Shutting off the gas supply to reduce the available fuel
- Turning off electrical circuits to eliminate sources of ignition
- Keeping the exhaust fan on to remove smoke, fumes, and grease
- Deploying fire suppression chemicals, if necessary
