Dual Agent System
Greenheck uses the Ansul® PIRANHA fire suppression system when dual agent is specified and/or when there is a high chance of fire hazard, such as with doughnut fryers, solid fuel BBQ's or smokers. The Ansul PIRANHA provides a one-two punch against fire by attacking it using the rapid flame knockdown and securing capabilities of PRX™ Liquid Fire Suppressant. Then, the superior cooling effects of water follow, cooling the cooking media below the reflash temperature within two minutes. The water also replenishes the foam blanket so that it can continue act as a suppressant.
