CATEGORY// Company Overview FIRE-PROTECTION.COM.AU 4 5 GASEOUS SUPPRESSION “We will help analyse your needs to determine the most suitable fire suppression agent for your application and your business” Gaseous Fire Suppression or Clean Agent environmentally friendly and cost effective fire suppression are terms used to describe solutions and meet all regulatory authority gases used to extinguish fires. Typically requirements. gaseous agents work in one of two ways, the first is to inert the atmosphere reducing Where easy clean-up, minimal down time, oxygen levels to a level that will no longer business continuity and people safety are sustain combustion, the second is to react overriding factors, you need to consider chemically with the fire absorbing heat and clean agent gaseous suppression for your causing the chain reaction of combustion to fire protection needs. We will help analyse break down. your facility and operations to determine the most suitable fire suppression agent for Clean Agent fire extinguishing systems are your application and your business. typically used to protect three dimensional enclosures containing high value assets that A fire is DEVASTATING! Conventional fire are vital for business continuity, and assets systems provide personal and structural that cannot be protected by traditional protection. But when it comes to high value sprinkler systems due to the potential for assets and irreplaceable items, water can be water damage. Typical examples of system just as damaging as any fire! applications include telecommunication facilities, clean rooms, data processing SO WHY CLEAN AGENT SYSTEMS: centres and museums. 1.

CO2 has been used and is universally accepted as the best agent as an extinguishing agent for more than 80 used to replace Halon 1301. years and was the first gaseous agent used for fire suppression. It can be used for local FM-200® is a chemical agent used application and total flooding systems and primarily in total flooding systems and has is suited to a wide range of applications and been installed in over 200,000 systems hazards. CO2 has a high rate of expansion worldwide. enabling rapid fire suppression and provides a heavy blanket of gas that reduces the FM-200® fire suppression systems protect oxygen level to a point where combustion everything from computer rooms / data cannot occur. CO2 is not approved for centres, telecommunications facilities, and occupied spaces unless fitted with a safety switch gear to military vehicles, high tech interlock device to prevent the system from medical applications, and pleasure craft to discharging when the enclosure is occupied. priceless works of art and historic landmarks around the world. Like all fire protection systems, CO2 systems should only be designed by FM-200® AS THE EXTINGUISHING AGENT: experienced engineers. CO2 can be used to protect applications such as generator • Discharges in 10 seconds or less sets, turbines, switch gear, flammable • Extinguishing a fire quickly and effectively liquid baths, electrical enclosures and • Leaves no residue, is non-conductive and transformers. requires no costly clean up • Reduces loss and damage due to fire and helps ensure business continuity • Minimises down time of vital system CO2 EXTINGUISHING AGENT: operations • Requires minimal container storage space • Extinguishing a fire quickly and effectively • Superior design performance allows
