Without knowing full details of the site and the location of the ANSUL equipment, there are 3 main reasons for an accidental discharge:

  • The Automan unit is placed too close to a heat source and the compressed gas cartridges heated to a point where the foil seal burst (like a burst disc), setting off the system
  • The automatic detection line wire passes through a cable clamp within the Automan unit. If this clamp is not set correctly and the two grub screws are not tightened correctly, the cable can slip and activate the system.
  • If you have a disgruntled employee, they may have maliciously pulled the manual release mechanism. This is by far the most common reason for false activations.

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.
