ANSUL systems in kitchens within the UK are more of an Insurance company requirement, or purely an owner decision, than legislation.
Currently, there are no UK standards or legislation that requires them to be fitted, although this is being looked into and could see some sort of standard or legislation being introduced in the future.

How do ansul systems work?
An ANSUL system is basically a fixed, wet chemical fire extinguisher. Instead of deploying it's agent through a hose like a portable extinguisher, it does so through fixed pipework that supplies agent to nozzles placed above the appliances, within the plenum and the extract duct system. A basic one tank system is described below. The system normally has an automatic detection system, as well as a manual release mechanism (although electrical ANSUL systems are available, the mechanical systems are more cost effective and more popular). The automatic detection system consists of a steel cable that is always under tension. Within this line, detectors are placed that contain a heat rated fusible link. In the event of a fire and when the link reaches it's critical heat rating, the link seperates, releasing the tension and activates the system. The manual release is also a cabled system, but requires a pulling force to activate the system. Both of these activation systems are wired back to a mechanical activation device known as an Automan unit which contains a mechanical activation unit, a pilot charge (normally nitrogen) in a pressurized cartridge, an agent tank and electrical switches for connection to gas shut-down and/ or in house fire panel. On activation, the mechanical unit releases a "needle" which punctures a foil membrane on the gas cartridge. The gas passes through a regulator and is fed into the agent tank. This forces the agent out of the tank at a controlled rate, through the pipework and to dispersion nozzles placed at the appliances within the kitchen, as well as within the plenum and the extract duct system. The agent cools the fire as well as reacting with hot oils to form a foam blanket, cutting off the air supply to the fire. Additional equipment, such as a regulated release unit, can be used to increase the size of the system and allow for additional tanks to be added to the system, based upon strict design calculations for the size of the appliance line(s) and the type of appliances.

Check out this site. firemarshal.utah.gov/Current/ ComKitchenFireProtection.pdf Wet Ansul (Cooking Extinguishing Systems) are required by NFPA codes, and none of the standard insurance companies that I represent will cover commercial cooking without having the wet extinguishing agent. You might be able to attain a quotation from a "non-standard" company, but it will cost you more.

What is an ansul system made with?
Ansul is a brand name for wet chemical fire suppression equipment found in kitchens of restaurants and hotels. The systems usually contain an automated activation system (via a heat rated fusible link) and a manual release mechanism. A low Ph fire suppression chemical (known as Ansulex, or R-102) is stored within agent tanks, and is fed through supply lines after actuation by pressurised Nitrogen or CO2 (stored in cartridge form) to discharge nozzles above appliances. Most of the system components are made from Stainless Steel for hygiene reasons. Ansul systems are very design specific and should only be designed, installed and maintained by authorised Ansul distributors and engineers.
