SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
GAS FIRE FIGHTING PRODUCTS SYSTEM
The gas protection system operates effectively in places, where normal extinguishing agents such as water and foam can be dangerous. This system is usually used in places with electric equipment such as computer centres, electric switch rooms, and engine testing laboratories. The principle of this fire system is that gases absorb heat and weakens the fire by reducing the oxygen concentration, smoldering the flames.
Kitchen Hood Protection Equipment from Gas Fire
A Kitchen hood operates by releasing wet chemical agents in the presence of cooking fires. These agents react effectively with the greases, resulting in a harmless foam layer that suppresses the fire and avoids re-ignition. A kitchen hood is the perfect fit in protecting hoods, appliances, and the surrounding area from the fire ravages
CO2 Gas System
C02 fire suppression systems are the most suitable for areas with flammable storage or generator rooms and power stations. The system requires to be installed in areas with no or fewer residents as it emits CO2 gas to suppress any fire. Being a colorless and odorless gas, the system is beneficial for keeping the efficiency of gadgets and equipment stored in any given room. CO2 gas won’t leave any residue in the space where the fire occurs for an easy clean up after the fire has been put out. The system is efficient as it lowers the rates of Oxygen, a fire stimulating gas, in the air. It also has some helping agents to reduce the heat of the room to help put out the fire. That way, the system eliminates the risk of spreading the fire and extinguishes it.
FM-200 Gas System
FM-200 is a clean agent that attacks Class A, B, and C fires effectively. The gaseous fire agent is colourless, odourless, environment-friendly, and totally safe, making it perfect in closed areas with no risks. It operates by removing heat from the ravaging fires to control the flames. The only difference between NOVEC and FM-200 gas systems is that NOVEC is stored in liquid form while FM-200 is stored in a gaseous state.
Novec Gas System
NOVEC gas system operates by removing heat quickly to suppress fires through a fluid pressurized with nitrogen. Actually, it is a clean extinguishing agent that puts out the fire safely without any electronic damage. It is also safe for people, making it ideal in closed occupied areas. Unlike any other suppression agents, the NOVEC system operates by removing heat, not oxygen to attack fires. These clean agents have proven their worth in combating Class A, B, and C fires.
Inergen Gas System
Inergen gas systems are environmental and user-friendly fire extinguishing systems. The system is designed to quickly detect smokes and put out any threatening fire. With its unique features, the INERGEN gas system doesn’t cause any harm to the residents or equipment of the property. Composed of various breathable gases, including nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide, the system doesn’t cause any breathing difficulties to people. The system has been medically acclaimed to be among the best systems in the world. It helps keep oxygen levels stable during fires, making mental performance rates stay within the normal. The gas system ensures residents a safe escape from harmful fires.
Aerosol System
Aerosol fire suppression systems put out threatening fires by releasing micro agents and gases that help reduce fires. The system contains micro-particles in a vapor state until released from the device. Through some chemical chain reactions, the condensed vapour is released in a state of solid particles. Aerosol systems reduce the inflaming heat and oxygen in the air which helps eliminate harmful fires. The fire suppression system is effective in putting out class A, B, and C fires. An important note though is that the fire shouldn’t be installed in any residential or inhabited areas. Aerosol systems pose a threat to living beings as they could cause visual impairments or breathing difficulties.
Foam System for Fire Fighting
The foam fire fighting system operates by separating the fuel from oxygen, forming a foam blanket of small air bubbles. The foam consists of three ingredients mixed in a certain proportion, which are water, foam, and air. This foam blanket avoids flammable vapors release, avoiding any further chemical reactions, smothering the flames. At the same time, it works on separating the flames from the product surface, avoiding re-ignition after a while.
Gaseous Extinguishing Systems
CO2 System
CO2 is an odourless, colourless, electrically non-conductive, non-corrosive, and non-deteriorating agent. CO2 System consists of a fixed supply of CO2 converted through a piping network and nozzles. Total Flooding extinguishers both surface and deep seated fires by discharging gas onto the enclosed space
NOVEC-1230 System
NOVEC 1230 is a synthetic/chemical fire suppression gas and extinguishes a fire by removing the free radicals or heat elements from the fire triangle. (Oxygen, Heat and Fuel). The concentration of Novec 1230 is typically between 5.3% to 5.6% of the room volume.
FM-200 System
FM200 is a synthetic/chemical fire suppression gas and extinguishes a fire by removing the free radicals or heat elements from the fire triangle. (Oxygen, Heat and Fuel). The typical concentration of an FM200 system is normally between 7.9% to 8.5%.
IG-55/ IG-100/ IG-541 System
Inert Gas IG-55 is a clean agent fire extinguishing system using an inert gas (IG-55) consisting of 50% Nitrogen and 50% Argon and is used in total flooding systems.
