Abstract:

Apparatus that imitates the appearance of a commercial deep fat fryer and simulates grease fires. A first burner extends into the bin of the fryer which would be occupied by cooking oil in the operational fryer, and a second burner occupies an area under the hood near the exhaust vent. Also included, out of sight, are a switch controlled by the lid on the bin, an extinguishment sensor in the bin, and a thermostat, which act together to disable the burners and deactivate the simulator when proper fire fighting procedures have been employed by the trainee.
