Frequently Asked Questions on Inert Gas Fire Suppression System

What is inert gas fire suppression?

Inert gas fire suppression is a clean, residue-free fire protection system that uses gases like nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide to extinguish fires. It is commonly used in data centers, server rooms, museums, and high-value asset protection.

What gases are used in fire suppression systems?

Inert gas systems typically use:

  • Nitrogen (N₂): Suitable for electrical rooms and data centers
  • Argon (Ar): Ideal for museums, libraries, and archives due to its non-corrosive properties
  • Carbon Dioxide (CO₂): Common in industrial applications, but requires safety precautions due to oxygen displacement

How does inert gas extinguish a fire?

Inert gases work by reducing oxygen levels in the protected area to a point where combustion cannot be sustained. This method is:

  • Safe for sensitive equipment – No residue or chemical reactions
  • Environmentally friendly – No ozone depletion potential
  • Suitable for occupied spaces – Unlike CO₂, inert gases do not pose immediate health risks

What is the NFPA standard for inert gas systems?

Inert gas suppression systems comply with NFPA 2001 (Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems), which ensures safe design, installation, and maintenance.

What is the difference between inert gas and FM200?

Feature Inert Gas FM200
Fire Suppression Method Lowers oxygen levels Absorbs heat
Storage Duration Long-term, cost-effective Shorter lifespan
Environmental Impact Eco-friendly, no chemicals Contains hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
Residue & Cleanup Zero residue, safe for electronics May leave minimal residue

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

  • Clean agents (e.g., FM200) – Use chemicals to disrupt the fire’s chemical reaction
  • Inert gases – Lower oxygen levels to stop combustion, making them non-toxic and completely residue-free
