I wonder if the problem with that type of device being above the hob
means that the trigger mechanism it will become very degraded over a
short period of time with a mix of steam and atomised grease from normal
cooking. Both will carry the dust from the atmosphere and deposit it on
the fire supression device. Consider how dirty the grease filter in an
extractor hob can get.

Furthermore once the flame reaches the bottom of the extractor hob will
not the grease filter also catch fire?
