It isn't a very thin layer of oil. We are doing 4 fryers that are 6 ft wide by 18 ft long and hold about 250 gallons of oil at 325F. They run potato chips through on a conveyor. I'm not sure but I think the oil is at least 4-6 inches deep. I even have a letter from an FM type insurance company confirming the water deluge for the fryers.
One of my concerns was amount of free board in the fryers. At about 150 gpm we will over flow the free board in a couple minutes. Then everything goes to the trench drain. We priced deluge, LP CO2 and Hifog. Deluge was least expensive, CO2 double the cost of deluge and mist was double the cost of CO2. The owner chose deluge.
