Frequently Asked Questions on Inert Gas Fire Suppression System

What is inert gas fire suppression?

Inert gas fire suppression is a fire protection method that uses inert gases to extinguish fires.

What gas is used in fire suppression systems?

Commonly used inert gases in fire suppression systems include nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide. Each gas has its own unique properties and is suitable for different types of fires.

How does inert gas extinguish fire?

Inert gases work by reducing the oxygen concentration in the protected area to a level that is insufficient to sustain combustion, effectively suppressing the fire without causing damage to equipment or leaving harmful residues.

What is the NFPA for an inert gas system?

NFPA 2001: Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems, which specifically addresses inert gas systems. These codes ensure the safe design, installation, and maintenance of these systems.

What is the difference between inert gas and FM200?

Inert gases reduce oxygen levels, while FM200 absorbs heat. Inert gas fire systems offer longer storage life and cost-effectiveness for long-term use.

What is the difference between inert gas and a clean agent?

Clean agents disrupt the fire’s chemical reaction, while inert gases lower oxygen levels. Clean agents might damage sensitive equipment or leave residue, whereas inert gas suppression systems are non-toxic and residue-free.
