What is a hood suppression system and why do I need one in my food truck?
A hood suppression system is a type of fire suppression system that is installed in the kitchen area of a food truck. It helps to extinguish fires that may occur in the cooking area by releasing a chemical agent onto the flames. It is a requirement by most municipalities to have a hood suppression system in place in order to operate a food truck.
How does a hood suppression system work?
A hood suppression system typically uses a network of pipes and nozzles that are installed above the cooking equipment. When a fire is detected, the system releases a chemical agent, such as a dry chemical powder or a foam, onto the flames to extinguish them.
How often do I need to have my hood suppression system inspected and serviced?
It is typically recommended and required to have your hood suppression system inspected and serviced at least once a year by a certified technician. Additionally, the system should be inspected and tested monthly to ensure that it is in proper working condition.
What are the costs associated with a hood suppression system?
The costs of a hood suppression system can vary depending on the type of system, the size of the food truck, and the installation costs. A basic hood suppression system can range from $3000 to $8000, and this may not include any additional costs such as installation, permits, or inspection fees.
What happens if my hood suppression system doesn't work during a fire?
If your hood suppression system fails during a fire, the fire can potentially spread and cause significant damage to your food truck and potentially harm your customers and employees. In addition, you may be held liable for any damages and losses that occur as a result of the fire. It is crucial to ensure that your hood suppression system is in proper working condition at all times.
