Compressed Gas Fire Fighting System

Compressed Gas Fire Fighting Systems are a type of fire suppression system that utilizes compressed gases to extinguish fires. These systems are classified under the supply class Firefighting Equipment, which falls under the supply group Firefighting, Rescue, and Safety Equipment; and Environmental Protection Equipment and Materials.

Compressed Gas Fire Fighting Systems typically consist of cylinders filled with compressed gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), or clean agents like FM-200 or Novec 1230. When a fire is detected, the system releases the compressed gas into the protected area, displacing oxygen and suppressing the fire.

These systems are commonly used in areas where water-based fire suppression systems may not be suitable, such as server rooms, electrical equipment rooms, museums, archives, and other sensitive environments. Compressed Gas Fire Fighting Systems are designed to quickly and effectively extinguish fires without causing damage to the protected assets or leaving behind residue.

It is important to note that the installation, maintenance, and operation of Compressed Gas Fire Fighting Systems should be carried out by trained professionals in accordance with local fire codes and regulations. Regular inspections and testing are necessary to ensure the system's reliability and effectiveness in case of a fire emergency.
