Fire Gas Suppression Systems
Our Fire Gas Suppression Systems are ideal for areas with sensitive equipment where water-based systems might be damaging, like data centers, museums, and industrial applications.
Key Concepts
Principle of Operation
Fire Suppression: Reduces oxygen, inhibits chemical reactions, or cools flames.
Clean Agent Gases: No residue; safe for equipment.
Types of Fire Suppression Gases
Chemical Agents:
FM-200 (HFC-227ea): Absorbs heat and disrupts combustion.
Novec 1230: Environmentally friendly, absorbs heat.
Inergen: Blend of Nitrogen, Argon, and CO2; reduces oxygen levels.
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide): Displaces oxygen; used in unoccupied spaces.
Inert Gases:
Inergen (IG-541): Nitrogen, Argon, and CO2 mix.
Argonite (IG-55): Argon and nitrogen mix.
Nitrogen: For environments with volatile substances.
Components of a Gas Suppression System
Control Panel: Detects fires and activates gas release.
Fire Detectors: Smoke, heat, or flame detectors.
Gas Storage Cylinders: Store suppression gas under pressure.
Pipework & Nozzles: Distributes gas through pipes.
Manual Activation Stations: Allow manual system discharge.
Warning Devices: Visual and audible alarms.
Common Applications
Data Centers, Archives, Telecommunications Rooms, Power Generation Plants, and Marine Applications.
Design Considerations
Room Sealing: Ensure airtightness for effective gas concentration.
Discharge Time: Rapid discharge (10-60 seconds) to suppress fire.
Human Safety: FM-200 and Novec 1230 are safe for occupied spaces; CO2 for unoccupied areas.
Ventilation: Proper ventilation after discharge.
Fire Detection and Activation
Automatic Activation: Linked to detection systems.
Manual Activation: For emergency personnel use.
Maintenance and Testing
Regular Inspections: Check cylinders, system integrity, and detectors.
Room Integrity Testing: Ensure the room holds gas concentration.
Advantages of Gas Suppression Systems
No Residue, Rapid Response, and Minimal Damage.
Disadvantages
Cost, Room Integrity Requirements, and Safety Concerns (CO2 systems).
Key Standards
