Gas Suppression System Design

Typically gaseous agents work in one of two ways the first is to inert the atmosphere reducing oxygen levels to a level that will no longer sustain combustion the second is to react chemically with the fire absorbing heat and causing the chain reaction of combustion to break down.

Gas suppression system design.

Please select the design guide that matches your requirements. All design guides are in pdf format. If there is no design guide the matches your requirent please call our design team on 0845 862 7931. Gaseous fire suppression systems are ideal for protecting assets where water may pose a risk.

Fire suppression design guides. The principle used by gas suppression system is by breaking the fire triangle the fire ceases to exist. A gas suppression system leaves no residue and is designed to protect enclosures which require a quick reaction to extinguishing a fire. Below is a set of design guides to assist with the design of fire suppression and detection systems.

But like all inert gas systems inergen requires a large storage area in comparison to fm200 and novec 1230 but ultimately it is a very flexible fire suppression agent. Inergen is available today as 200 bar and 300 bar for new systems from concept fire suppression ltd and we would be happy to discuss your requirements. Gaseous fire suppression also called clean agent fire suppression is a term to describe the use of inert gases and chemical agents to extinguish a fire these agents are governed by the national fire protection association nfpa standard for clean agent fire extinguishing systems nfpa 2001 in the us with different standards and regulations elsewhere. It data and communication areas are the most common applications for using this particular fire protection systems.

In the room protected by gas suppression system there are various detectors placed at various locations. Each detector constantly monitors the room for signs of fire. Gas suppression systems are generally used in concealed rooms. Fm200 hfc s pyroshield c02 inergen and novac.

Types of gases used include.
