Containing a total of 4 different gases, Inert Gas Extinguishing Systems have the ability to reduce oxygen because they contain gases found in the natural environment. These gases, created by the chemical composition of argon, argonite, nitrogen and inergen gases, have no color or odor, and are not conductive. It does not harm the ozone layer as it has no effect on global warming.
By reducing the oxygen in the space in case of fire, it does not leave any residue behind and there is no need for extra cleaning. It discharges in 60 seconds, suffocating the fire and neutralizing it. Inert gas fire extinguishing systems can be easily refilled after use.
By reducing the oxygen in the environment between 10.5 and 13.5 percent, it prevents the air circulation that feeds the fire and thus extinguishes the fire by suffocating it. The extinguishing gases contained in the cylinders are filled with a pressure of 200 or 300 bars.
The primary purpose of this fire extinguishing system, which was actually developed instead of Halon gas, is to extinguish the fire without harming human health.
Argon Gas Extinguishing Systems
If the usage areas are listed; In airports, metro and other rail systems projects, chemical warehouses, laboratories where quality chemicals are used, transformer centers, marinas, gas industry facilities and petrochemical industrial facilities, libraries, archives, museums, electrical rooms, special rooms with electronic equipment, system and server rooms. It is used in data centers and energy production facilities.
The fact that it can be used in many important places, that it does not have any negative effects on living things, and that the filling cost is quite affordable are the reasons why it is highly preferred.
Inert gas fire extinguishing systems, produced in accordance with quality standards, are checked before installation and delivered in perfect condition. This fire extinguishing system, whose periodic maintenance is carried out by the authorized company, is prepared in accordance with the ISO 14520, EN 15004, VDS 2380 and NFPA 2001 standards stipulated by the legal procedures of this sector.
Inert gas fire extinguishing systems, which are becoming more preferred in all sectors where the use of chemical gases are considered inconvenient, also have a shorter refill time than others. In order for this VDS and UL approved extinguishing system to work properly, it must be checked at regular intervals and its deficiencies must be corrected.
