Argon and Nitrogen Gas, With the push to environment protection, inert gases are an ideal choice as they are the most environmental of all other Clean Agents. Argon Fire Suppression System and Nitrogen Fire Suppression System offer effective fire protection with zero environmental impact. Argon and Nitrogen Gas Fire Suppression System works by reducing the oxygen concentration inside the protected hazard to a point where it will not support a fire, but still enough to support life.
Why use Argon and Nitrogen Gas Fire Suppression System?
To start with, inert gas fire suppression systems are safe and natural fire extinguishers. Moreover, the refilling cost is more economical than other extinguisher clean agents because of the advantage of collectability from the atmosphere.
Argon and Nitrogen Gas Fire Suppression System is safe and effective for use on many applications as they are suitable for leaky enclosures such as flight simulators, substations, and control rooms in addition to applications with multiple hazards.
Environment-Friendly Fire Extinguishing Systems:
- Argon and nitrogen are naturally present in the atmosphere, they are chemically inert, non-conductive, colorless, odorless, and flavorless.
- According to EPA data, Argon and Nitrogen Gas Fire Suppression does not cause the greenhouse effect and its ozone layer depletion potential is zero.
- Does not require special inspection procedures under the EU’s “F” Gas Regulations.
- No hazardous waste, byproducts, residue, or toxicological effects.
Argon and Nitrogen Gas Fire Suppression System Installation
- Firstly, a specialist fire suppression installation company should install the inert fire suppression system just like any fire suppression system installation.
- Secondly, the uses, sizes, and capacities should be determined by the application.
- Thirdly and most importantly, the protected area must be accurately measured to ensure the correct amount of each agent to sufficiently suppress an existing fire or a potential fire within the specific risk area.
Benefits and Features
- Applicable for places with human traffic as it does not leave byproducts and does not decompose into toxic or corrosive elements in a fire.
- An economical solution with directional valves in multiple locations, in addition to the refilling cost, is more economical.
- Easy to find local facilities for refilling.
- Leaves no residue, so it is safe for personnel and equipment.
- As a result of inert gases weight corresponding closely to normal air, it will evacuate a protected area slower than halocarbon agents after a discharge.
- No fogging, Argon and Nitrogen Gas Fire Suppression System is ideal for occupied spaces to ensure that escape routes remain visible for people during, and after the discharge.
- Electrically non-conductive and highly recommended for protecting electrical and electronic materials.
- On the other hand, it offers minimal thermal shock compared to other clean agents.
Applications and hazards protected by Argon and Nitrogen Gas Fire Suppression System in Saudi Arabia:
Argon and Nitrogen Gas Fire Suppression System is suitable for leaky enclosures, applications such as laboratories offshore oil & gas, substations, flight simulators, and control rooms where other clean agents like water, foam or powder are not permitted. For example, but not limited to:
