Gaseous Fire Suppression Systems

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction: Clean Agent Protection for High-Value Assets

Gaseous fire suppression systems utilize "clean agents" that extinguish fire primarily through chemical interference or rapid cooling, leaving virtually no residue. These systems are non-conductive and non-corrosive, making them the preferred choice for protecting high-value, mission-critical assets that would be damaged by water, foam, or dry chemicals. We design and supply comprehensive systems using leading agents, including FM200, Novec 1230, and Inert Gas blends (e.g., IG-55/IG-541).

Our systems are custom-engineered based on the protected volume, hazard type, and required agent concentration. The core components include high-pressure storage cylinders, proprietary discharge valves, piping, and specialized nozzles, all manufactured to rigorous international standards (ISO 14520, NFPA 2001). We ensure full compliance with occupational health and safety limits, particularly concerning oxygen reduction and acute toxicity levels.

By specializing in total-flooding systems, we guarantee rapid extinguishment (typically within 10 seconds for chemical agents) while maintaining the integrity of sensitive electronics and documents, offering superior protection for data centers, control rooms, archives, and telecom facilities.

Advantage: Cleanliness, Speed, and Personnel Safety

  • Zero Residue: Agents evaporate cleanly after discharge, eliminating the need for extensive cleanup and minimizing equipment downtime.
  • Ultra-Fast Extinguishment: Chemical agents (FM200/Novec 1230) achieve full suppression concentration in 10 seconds or less, halting fire spread instantly.
  • High ODP/GWP Performance: Utilizing agents with Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and Low Global Warming Potential (GWP), meeting modern environmental regulations.
  • Precision Engineering: Cylinders, valves, and piping are custom-sized and hydro-tested for the specific agent and pressure, ensuring reliable discharge performance.
  • Designed for Occupied Spaces: Inert Gas systems reduce oxygen only to safe levels (12-15%), making them suitable for areas where immediate evacuation may be delayed.
  • UL/FM Component Approval: Critical components (cylinders, valves, nozzles) are third-party listed, guaranteeing system integrity and performance.

FAQ

Both are chemical clean agents. FM200 has a high Global Warming Potential (GWP) and is being phased out in some regions. Novec 1230 has an extremely low GWP (similar to CO2) and zero Ozone Depletion Potential, making it the environmentally preferred option.

Yes, if designed and installed correctly. Both Novec 1230 and Inert Gas (e.g., IG-55) are certified for use in normally occupied spaces, although evacuation is always mandatory before and during discharge.

High-pressure cylinders for gaseous agents typically require hydrostatic testing every 5 years to maintain certification and safety.

A total flooding system discharges the agent to achieve a uniform, extinguishing concentration throughout the entire protected volume (room or enclosure) for a specific hold time.

Inert gas (oxygen reduction) systems discharge slowly (60-120 seconds) to prevent pressure shock/damage to the room's structure due to the large volume of gas being released.

The hold time (e.g., 10 minutes) is the period the room must retain the extinguishing concentration after discharge to ensure re-ignition of smoldering materials does not occur.

Yes. Clean agent systems require a highly reliable, cross-zoned detection system (e.g., two detectors in separate zones must alarm) to confirm a fire before initiating the gas discharge sequence.

No. While appearance may be similar, gaseous systems require specialized, high-pressure piping (e.g., Schedule 40 or 80 seamless steel) and fittings that can withstand the extreme internal pressures.

Yes. Unlike some one-time-use chemical systems, the physical system components (cylinders, valves) are cleaned, inspected, and then recharged with a new supply of the clean agent.

The number of cylinders is determined by the volume of the protected room, the design concentration required, and the net free volume after subtracting permanent fixtures.
