Commercial kitchen electrostatic filters and kitchen fire safety: a relationship that cannot be ignored

Catering kitchens are high-incidence areas for fires, and the status of commercial kitchen electrostatic filters directly affects fire safety. According to statistics from the fire department, about 30% of kitchen fires are related to the accumulation of grease in commercial kitchen electrostatic filters. Understanding the relationship between equipment and fire safety and taking preventive measures can effectively reduce the risk of fire.

Grease accumulation is the "fuse" of fire hazards

The grease in the oil fume is flammable. When the thickness of the oil scale inside the purifier exceeds 0.3 cm, it is easy to cause combustion when encountering high temperature (such as open flames on the stove, short-circuit sparks in the equipment circuit), and the fire will spread along the oil fume duct, forming a "chimney effect" and accelerating the spread of the fire.

Fire prevention details in equipment design

1.Automatic power off when opening the door: The equipment door is linked to the circuit system. Once it is opened for maintenance or cleaning, the internal high-voltage power supply will be cut off instantly to avoid sparks when the operator touches the live parts, and prevent external open flames from entering the equipment to cause oil scale combustion. ​

2.High temperature resistant material: The electric field and the outer shell are made of flame-retardant materials (such as 304 stainless steel), which can withstand high temperatures above 300℃. Even if there is an open flame around, it can slow down the burning speed of the equipment itself.

3.UL certification guarantee: The circuit design and material flame retardancy of the equipment that has passed the UL safety certification have been rigorously tested and are safe.

Key points for daily fire prevention maintenance

1.Shorten the cleaning cycle: Shorten the cleaning cycle: For kitchen environments with heavy oil smoke, the thickness of the oil scale inside the commercial kitchen electrostatic filter should be checked weekly. When the thickness of the oil scale exceeds 0.2 cm, cleaning must be arranged immediately. Timely cleaning can effectively reduce the accumulation of oil scale and reduce the risk of fire from the source.
