Professional Development Hour - Fluid Dynamics Keeping Kitchens Safe

This video uncovers the science of fluid dynamics involved in kitchen fire suppression systems. From Bernoulli’s Law to actual field piping calculations, we explain the theory and practically apply it to various systems such as CORE and TANK. This knowledge is essential for engineers specifying these systems as well as technicians in the field. Learn more about CaptiveAire at captiveaire.com.
