There's a lot of "misunderstanding" around "automatic fire suppression". Many people may see a hood over a grill in a restaurant and call it a "Halon" because it was popular pre 1994 when it was banned due to ozone depleting studies.

Ansul systems are the most common automatic fire suppression after the basic "water sprinkler" systems that are found nearly everywhere. Tha ansul systems are used where water isn't preferred like grease cooking, manufacturer storage of magnesium, or where the water damage could cause other issues like computer rooms, data storage,or other areas where electronics are at risk. The ansul systems are typically designed with the use between several available suppression agents depending on the design criteria.
