Application
The ANSUL R-102 Restaurant Fire Suppression System is an
automatic, pre-engineered, fire suppression system designed
to protect areas associated with ventilating equipment including hoods, ducts, plenums, and filters. The system also protects
auxiliary grease extraction equipment and cooking equipment
such as fryers; griddles and range tops; upright, natural charcoal,
or chain-type broilers; electric, lava rock, mesquite, or gas-radiant
char-broilers; and woks.
The system is ideally suitable for use in restaurants, hospitals,
nursing homes, hotels, schools, airports, and other similar facilities.
Use of the R-102 system is limited to indoor applications or locations that provide weatherproof protection within tested temperature limitations. The regulated release and tank assemblies must
be mounted in an area where the air temperature will not fall
below 32 F (0 C) or exceed 130 F (54C). The system must be
designed and installed within the guidelines of the UL/ULC Listed
Design, Installation, Recharge, and Maintenance Manual.
System Description
The restaurant fire suppression system is a pre-engineered, wet
chemical, cartridge-operated, regulated pressure type with a fixed
nozzle agent distribution network. It is listed with Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc. (UL/ULC).

Component Description
Wet Chemical Agent The extinguishing agent is a mixture of
organic salts designed for rapid flame knockdown and foam
securement of grease related fires. It is available in plastic
containers with instructions for wet chemical handling and usage.
Agent Tank The agent tank is installed in a stainless steel enclosure or wall bracket. The tank is constructed of stainless steel.
Tanks are available in two sizes: 1.5 gallon (5.7 L) and 3.0 gallon
(11.4L). The tanks have a working pressure of 110 psi (7.6 bar), a
test pressure of 330psi (22.8 bar), and a minimum burst pressure
of 660 psi (45.5 bar).
The tank includes an adaptor/tube assembly. The adaptor assembly includes a chrome-plated steel adaptor with a 1/4 in. NPT
female gas inlet, a 3/8 in. NPT female agent outlet, and a stainless
steel agent pick-up tube. The adaptor also contains a bursting
disc seal which helps to prevent the siphoning of agent up the
pipe during extreme temperature variations.
Regulated Release Mechanism The regulated release mechanism is a spring-loaded, mechanical/pneumatic type capable of
providing the expellant gas supply to one, two, or three agent
tanks depending on the capacity of the gas cartridge used. It
contains a factory installed regulator deadset at 110 psi (7.6 bar)
with an external relief of approximately 180psi (12.4 bar). It has
automatic actuation capabilities by a fusible link detection system
and remote manual actuation by a mechanical pull station.
The regulated release mechanism contains a release assembly,
regulator, expellant gas hose, and agent storage tank housed in
a stainless steel enclosure with cover. The enclosure contains
knock-outs for 1/2 in. conduit. The cover contains an opening for
a visual status indicator.
It is compatible with mechanical gas shut-off devices; or, when
equipped with a field or factory-installed switch and manual reset
relay, it is compatible with electric gas line or appliance shut-off
devices.
Regulated Actuator Assembly When more than two agent
tanks (or three 3.0 gallon (11.4 L) tanks in certain applications) are
required, the regulated actuator is available to provide expellant
gas for additional tanks. It is connected to the cartridge receiver
outlet of the regulated release mechanism providing simultaneous agent discharge. It contains a regulated actuator deadset at
110 psi (7.6 bar) with an external relief of approximately 180 psi
(12.4 bar). It has automatic actuation capabilities using pressure
from the regulated release mechanism cartridge.
The regulated actuator assembly contains an actuator, regulator,
expellant gas hose, and agent tank housed in a stainless steel
enclosure with cover. The enclosure contains knockouts to permit
installation of the expellant gas line.
