Page 90 It is essential that any pre-engineered restaurant fire suppression system be properly designed, sized and installed. This section covers the design aspects unique to the Amerex “Zone Defense” Restaurant Fire Suppression System. The sketch below shows a typical Zone Defense System installed.
Page 91 The “Zone of Protection” is created by the use of overlapping spray from multiple nozzles creating an area that is soaked by wet chemical agent. This is accomplished by placing Amerex ZD nozzles, part number 14178, in a straight line from one end of the hood to the opposite end. The nozzles are to be a maximum of 20 inches (50.8cm) apart on center and must start and end at a point no greater than 6 inches (15.2cm)
Page 92 Section 3 ZD Design Page 3 – 45 Amerex Restaurant Fire Suppression System (EX 4658) ZONE OF PROTECTION – CON’T. The “Zone of Protection” requires that the nozzles be placed at 46 to 51 inches above the top surface of the appliance, all ZD nozzles are to be placed at the same elevation and the nozzles are to be aimed straight down.
