Fixed active fire suppression systems with ecological gaseous agents total flooding The extinguishment by total flooding with gases is used in the spaces where it is necessary a reaction as promptly possible in case a fire occurs, where the fire can intervene at any hour in daytime or nighttime.   It is also used where the damages produced by the conventional fire extinguishing agents can not be accepted, such as: areas with computers and telecommunication equipment, control rooms containing process computers, areas with robotic systems, automated production lines, flight training simulators, control centers for air traffic, bank treasure houses / documents deposits, museums / libraries, art galleries / collections / archives, command rooms for elevators, restoration workrooms, medical diagnosis rooms, areas with scanners etc, or in warehouse areas and technical spaces.

Complete fire extinguishing systems with INERGEN gas

Automatic fire extinguishing systems with INERGEN gas are used in spaces which needs an electrical nonconductive environment, where the cleanness is a must have and the protected area is permanently used by people - these problems require an extinguishing agent with a maximum of efficiency, nontoxic (breathable) and a hundred percent friendly to the environment. This information is given by ANSUL Inc. company from U.S.A., according to the NFPA 2001 standards for "clean agents".

INERGEN is an extinguishing substance composed by the mixing of three gases (reducing the oxygen quantity): 52% nitrogen, 40% argon and 8% carbon dioxide. Because INERGEN is derived from gases which are normally found into the atmosphere, it has no impact on the ozone layer, does not contribute to global warming and doesn't produce remnant chemical compounds into the atmosphere - the toxicity problems associated with halons do not exist in this case.

INERGEN gas extinguishes the fire by reducing the level of oxygen under the level needed for combustion. Upon the discharge of INERGEN, the persons can comfortably breathe, as the increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide speeds up the respiration rhythm and increase the capacity of the organism to assimilate the oxygen. It is the only gas in the world tested on human subjects and, consequently, it is accepted anywhere in the world.

The system contains INERGEN gas, kept in the gaseous stage in high alloy steel gasholder tanks, at the pressure of 150 bar or 200 bar. To discharge, there are manual or automated devices. The substance is distributed and discharged into the protected area by a distribution network containing pipes and fixed nozzles, which give a uniform discharge level into the volume. The distance between the gasholder tanks and the last nozzle can reach at most 120 m. The discharge does not produce fog, temperature dropping or the apparition of corrosive thermal compounds into the protected area.

Complete fire-extinguishing systems with NOVEC gas

Novec^TM 1230 was created as an alternative for Halon 1301 whose production was ceased in 1993, as a result of the adjustments made to the Montreal protocol in November 1992.

Novec^TM 1230 does not contain Bromides or Chlorides and in consequence, it has a Zero Ozone Depletion Coefficient.

The fire extinguishing systems with NOVEC gas based on Novec^TM 1230 consist in one or more extinguishing gas holder tanks installed to discharge into the volume of the protected area, a predetermined Novec^TM 1230 quantity. The Novec^TM 1230 gas holder tanks, are designed to deposit the agent in a liquid state pressurized at 24.8 bar (360 psi) and a temperature of 20°C.

All the equipments composing this type of fire extinguishing system are designed and tested to work in a temperature segment between - 20°C and 50°C. The operation and installing for this type of equipment must be made only by experienced personnel, having background In the work with such equipments.
 
The fire extinguishing systems with Novec^TM 1230S are designed to put out fires of flammable liquids and gases, and electric and electronic equipments. The quantity of Oxygen in the room is not modified in a significant percentage, and the tests have proven that Novec TM 1230 is much lesser toxic than Halon 1301.

Usually a system is composed of one or more extinguishing gasholder tanks, connected to a pipe and discharge nozzles distribution network.

Complete fire-extinguishing systems with solid aerosols 

The fire extinguishing systems with aerosols type MICRO-K represents the newest fire protection technology using as extinguishing agent, aerosols of potassium and sodium. The solid extinguishing agent sublimates and breaks the combustion chain reaction of the chemical groups (hydrogen, oxygen, and hydroxide) because the particles of the aerosol create a wide surface to capture those chemical groups. As a result, the combustion chain reaction is broken and the fire is immediately extinguished.

In the Micro-K system, the releasing of the aerosols is not made at high temperatures that can damage the protected equipments (as in the case of other aerosols generators). The systems have a high efficiency in class A fires (surface fire on combustible elements), class B fires (fires caused by flammable liquids and gases) and class C fires (fires caused by operating electric and electronic equipment).

The MICRO-K fire extinguishing systems with aerosols have the following usual application fields: engine compartments, industrial cleaning equipments, pumping chamber, spaces for station control equipments, rooms containing transmission devices, electric converters chambers, etc.

The Micro-K aerosols generators are compatible with different releasing systems:

    * Mechanical – manual or automatic using the principle of fusible material melting.
    * Electrical – by receiving a signal from the fire detection system of the enclosure.
