Each of our systems incorporates a mechanically activated fire suppression system that relies upon industry standard “fail-safe” technology.  Fusible links are used as the system trigger, melting or breaking under high heat conditions, actuating the system and extinguishing the fire.

Unique to The Model D-1000 is a robust self-monitoring system that utilizes an industrial grade PLC unit to monitor several sensors and contactors within the hood design.  This system works to minimize the overall risk of a fire event while also monitoring the fire suppressive functions for completeness & continuity.  Even with this advanced technology in place, the fire suppression system is still based on mechanical, fail-safe components.

Yes, because we’ve based the integrated suppression system on mechanical, fail safe technology.  The fusible link trigger mechanism reacts to high levels of heat by melting and releasing the suppression system.  This process requires no power, and as such, will function without issue when the power is down.

Each DENLAR Fire Suppressive Range Hood is sold with a range element disconnect box for either gas or electric appliances.  It is hard-wired into the range hood system and works by shutting down the cooking element when the suppression system is released.  The cooking element remains off until the suppression system is re-charged to prevent use of an unprotected range.
The D1000 also utilizes the range element disconnect function in what we call “pre-suppression”.  This is when the system recognizes high heat building on the cook top; it will actually shut down power to the range prior to releasing the suppression system in a final attempt to prevent a full scale fire event.

Our product line is designed to Type II fire suppression standards under UL 300A which covers “Extinguishing Systems for Residential Range-Top Cooking Surfaces”.  In most cases a commercial kitchen must have commercial grade, or Type 1, fire suppression.  There are instances where a unit has been utilized in a limited use or prep area within a larger commercial kitchen; these cases must be approval by a local official.  Generally, if there is a residential grade appliance within any public or quasi-public gathering space, it will be required to have range hood fire suppression.  These applications are what our product line is designed for, “Commercial-Type Fire Suppression for Residential Grade Ranges”.

Residential Grade Fire Suppression is best defined as “Commercial-Type Fire Suppression for Residential Grade Ranges”.  The term residential does not limit the applications of the product to in-home use; it simply defines the type of appliance that it is designed to protect.

Denlar has developed a robust network of distributors; from partnerships with large national organizations to locally owned and operated outfits across the country and beyond.  Utilize our dealer locator to find an Authorized Distributor near you.

Available distributorships are limited, but they do exist in certain areas of the country and parts of the world.  Use this link to speak with us about possible distribution opportunities.

As a manufacturer, we have designed a line of products that can be easily installed by any qualified general contractor.  However, certain jurisdictions will require a specific permit be pulled, while some may even require a functional demonstration of the system performed by a licensed fire suppression professional.

We recommend that you speak with your local building, fire or safety inspector for approval and installation criteria prior to purchasing a DENLAR Hood System.

No, installation is addressed at a distributor level.  Many of our distributors do offer a turn-key solution providing and installing a Denlar Hood while also supporting on-going service and recertification throughout the life of the unit.  Be sure to discuss this with any distributor you contact.
