Gas suppression systems
Complete systems to protect what matters most.The key benefit of a gas suppression system is that in a critically sensitive environment it can extinguish fires without using water.
Why do you need a gas suppression system?
A gas extinguishing system, is used to quickly and efficiently extinguish fires in areas where traditional water-based fire suppression systems may not be effective or may cause damage to valuable equipment and materials.
An alternative to water based fire suppression. A gas suppression system is an alternative fire protection system that can be used where water systems would cause damage. Typically, we would recommend these systems for computer rooms, telecommunications, switch rooms, archives, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), or laboratories.
How they work. Gas suppression systems work by flooding the protected area with an inert gas, such as nitrogen or argon, or a chemical agent, such as or Novec™ 1230, that reduces the oxygen level in the room to below the level required to sustain a fire. This extinguishes the fire minimising the damage to the equipment or materials in the area.
Protecting mission critical and other valuable assets. Most commonly used in data centres, telecommunications rooms, museums, art galleries, and other facilities where the protection of valuable equipment, data, or artefacts is critical. They are also used in areas where the risk of fire is high, but traditional water-based suppression systems would be ineffective, such as in areas with flammable liquids or gases.
Design
Our designers are fully experienced in designing systems to comply with Loss Prevention Standard (LPS) 1204 and will produce 3D models in line with BIM requirements. Gas suppression systems can be designed and installed as standalone systems or directional valves that protect a variety of enclosures.
