Benefits of a Gas Fire Suppression System
What are gas fire suppression systems?
Gas fire suppression systems are designed to protect vital electrical equipment and other items which would be irretrievably damaged by water or other fire extinguishing substances such as foam. Gas fire suppression systems work by entering the equipment and the surrounding area and absorbing the heat or depriving the fire of oxygen. As fires can start from the overheating of electrical items, gas fire suppression systems can help to stop fire at the source before it spreads so in turn they also help to protect buildings and people from danger.
The size of the gas fire suppression system required will depend on how large the area is which the system is protecting. The two main types of systems available are wall-mounted gas cylinders for use in smaller areas and fully piped installation for larger areas. If you are short of space then the FM 200 fire suppression system is ideal as the FM-200 fire fighting agent is stored in cylinders as a liquid which is pressurised with nitrogen making it much more compact.
Benefits of gas fire suppression systems
1. No residue or water
Gas fire suppression systems such as CO2 fire suppression systems can deploy CO2 quickly and cleanly without damaging equipment. The last thing you want after a fire is for assets to be ruined by the very thing that stopped them from going up in flames. Gas fire suppression systems are ideal as they donýt deposit residue or water when they extinguish a fire which means your equipment wonýt be damaged.
2. Minimum downtime
Most businesses rely on electrical items such as servers and telecoms equipment to operate and serve customers. Gas fire suppression systems can reduce the amount of downtime your business experiences in an emergency by detecting a fire and releasing a gas agent into the protected area. By reacting to a fire quickly the systems can suffocate the fire and stop it from spreading, thus saving your building from any further damage and protecting the people in the building.
3. Space saving
In buildings where space is limited, systems such as the FM 200 fire suppression systems are a great choice as they take up much less storage space than CO2 systems and are ideal for smaller offices or areas with restricted space such as offshore facilities.
Where to install a gas fire suppression system?
The main benefit of gas fire suppression systems is that they can extinguish a fire without damaging equipment and objects in the room and surrounding area. This makes these systems ideal for areas and facilities where water damage from sprinklers would ruin objects such as in museums, libraries, galleries and stately homes. Water can damage electrical equipment beyond repair so gas fire suppression systems can eliminate the damage to computer suites, server rooms, switch rooms and power generators. Gas fire suppression systems are also suitable for facilities where a fire could destroy the entire area such as ships and offshore oil rigs.
When a fire is extinguished quickly it ultimately saves you money by lowering repair costs, downtime and damage. Gas fire suppression systems can also help to protect your staff by adding another element to your fire protection facilities. Assured Fire and Security can give you advice on the right fire suppression system for your company and have a wide range of systems in stock.
