Ansul systems, typically used for fire suppression, contain chemicals like potassium bicarbonate or sodium bicarbonate, which are generally considered safe when used as intended. However, these chemicals can pose risks if inhaled in large quantities or if they come into contact with skin or eyes. Proper handling and maintenance of Ansul systems are crucial to minimize any potential hazards. Always follow safety guidelines and manufacturer's instructions to ensure safe usage.

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.

Ansul systems are very design specific and should only be designed, installed and maintained by authorised Ansul distributors and engineers.
