APPLICATIONS
Fire suppression systems utilize gases like carbon dioxide, argon, and nitrogen to extinguish fires effectively and safely. Carbon dioxide quickly suffocates fires by displacing oxygen, making it ideal for electrical fires and areas where residue is a concern. Argon, often combined with other inert gases, is used in environments with sensitive equipment, as it also displaces oxygen but leaves no residue. Nitrogen helps slow combustion by reducing oxygen levels, providing a safe, residue-free suppression method. Together, these gases offer versatile and efficient solutions for fire suppression, minimizing damage and ensuring safety in various settings.

Fire suppression refers to the methods and systems used to extinguish or control fires in various environments, including industrial, commercial, and residential settings, using different agents, including gases.
Gases are used in fire suppression systems because they can effectively extinguish fires by displacing oxygen, cooling the flame, or interrupting the chemical reaction of the fire, without leaving residue or damaging sensitive equipment.
Common gases used in fire suppression systems include carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen (N₂), argon (Ar), and specialized clean agents such as FM-200 (HFC-227ea) and NOVEC 1230.
Carbon dioxide is used to displace oxygen in the environment, effectively suffocating the fire. It is particularly useful for areas with electrical equipment, as it does not leave residue and is non-conductive.
Nitrogen is used to reduce the oxygen concentration in the air to a level where combustion cannot be sustained. It is often used in inert gas fire suppression systems for protecting sensitive equipment.
Yes, argon is used in inert gas fire suppression systems. It reduces the oxygen level to extinguish the fire while being safe for use in occupied spaces and protecting delicate equipment.
Clean agents, such as FM-200 and NOVEC 1230, are gaseous fire suppression agents that extinguish fires without leaving residue. They work by absorbing heat and disrupting the combustion process, making them suitable for protecting sensitive electronics and valuable assets.
Gases provide effective fire suppression without damaging equipment, leaving residue, or requiring extensive cleanup. They are ideal for protecting sensitive environments such as data centers, laboratories, and museums.
