Gas Suppression System

FM 200

FM200® is a clean, fast-acting fire suppression system that uses a colorless, odorless chemical agent to suppress fires. It is one of the most commonly used clean agents in fire suppression systems due to its efficiency and environmental friendliness. FM200® is suitable for areas where water or traditional suppression methods could cause damage.

FM200® works by absorbing heat from the fire, lowering the temperature to the point where combustion is no longer possible. It interrupts the chemical reaction of the fire, effectively preventing its spread.

Fire Detection: The system detects the presence of a fire through sensors. Activation: FM200® is released into the protected area. Fire Suppression: The agent absorbs heat and reduces the fire’s temperature, stopping the combustion process.

FM200® is particularly effective for high-value equipment and areas requiring minimal residue after suppression. It is considered an eco-friendly alternative to other chemical agents and is widely recognized for its speed and efficiency.

Applicable Areas – Data centers, Communication rooms, Server rooms, Electrical facilities.

NOVEC® 1230

NOVEC® 1230 is a clean fire suppression agent used in a gas suppression system, known for its low environmental impact and high efficiency. It is a fluorinated ketone that offers fast and effective fire suppression without leaving harmful residues or contributing to global warming.

NOVEC® 1230 works by absorbing heat from the fire and lowering the temperature to a point where combustion can no longer sustain itself. This process effectively interrupts the fire and ensures it is quickly contained.

Fire Detection: The system detects the presence of a fire through sensors. Activation: FM200® is released into the protected area. Fire Suppression: The agent absorbs heat and reduces the fire’s temperature, stopping the combustion process.

NOVEC® 1230 is non-toxic and safe for human exposure, making it an excellent choice for spaces with personnel. It has a low global warming potential and zero ozone depletion potential, making it an environmentally friendly fire suppression solution.

Applicable Areas – Data centers, Telecommunications rooms, Museums and archives, Laboratories.

NAF® S125

NAF® S125 is a clean agent fire suppression system that uses a fluorinated compound to quickly suppress fires without causing damage to sensitive equipment. It is often used in environments where water-based fire suppression would be detrimental.

NAF® S125 suppresses fires by removing heat and reducing the oxygen levels in the environment, preventing the fire from spreading. It is highly effective against Class A, B, and C fires and is suitable for use in areas with sensitive equipment or valuable assets.

Fire Detection: The system detects the presence of a fire through heat or smoke sensors. Activation: The agent is discharged into the protected area. Suppression: NAF® S125 lowers the temperature and removes the oxygen, stopping the fire from spreading.

NAF® S125 is safe for human exposure and leaves no residue, making it ideal for high-risk, high-value areas. It provides fast and effective fire suppression without causing water damage or requiring extensive cleanup.

Applicable Areas – Data centers, Communication rooms, Museums and galleries, Power plants.

Inergen

Inergen® is an inert gas fire suppression system that uses a combination of nitrogen, argon, and CO2 to suppress fires by lowering oxygen levels to a point where combustion is no longer sustainable. It is an environmentally friendly and safe option for fire suppression in occupied spaces.

Inergen® works by reducing the oxygen concentration in the air to around 12%, which is sufficient to stop the fire but safe for human occupants. It is ideal for areas where personnel need to remain in the space during a fire emergency.

Fire Detection: Inergen® systems detect fire through sensors. Activation: The system releases the inert gas into the area. Fire Suppression: The reduction in oxygen concentration suffocates the fire, preventing it from spreading.

Inergen® is a safe and environmentally friendly fire suppression option, as it does not produce harmful by-products or leave residues. It is particularly suitable for areas with personnel present during a fire event.

Applicable Areas – Data centers, Server rooms, Telecommunications facilities, museums, and archives.

CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)

CO2 is a traditional fire suppression agent that works by displacing oxygen and suffocating the fire. It is highly effective for fires in areas where water-based systems would cause damage, such as electrical rooms, warehouses, and industrial settings.

CO2 fire suppression systems rapidly release carbon dioxide gas into the protected area, lowering the oxygen concentration below the level necessary to sustain combustion. This effectively extinguishes the fire.

  1. Fire Detection: Sensors detect a fire and trigger the system.
  2. Activation: CO2 is released into the area at high pressure.
  3. Suppression: The CO2 displaces the oxygen, smothering the fire and preventing further combustion.

CO2 suppression systems are extremely fast-acting and effective for localized fires. However, CO2 is dangerous to humans in high concentrations, so these systems are typically used in unoccupied or controlled environments.
