IG-541 Fire Suppression Systems in Malaysia

IG-541 is a clean extinguishing agent fire suppression system consisting of a mixture of inert gases, including nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide.

It is designed to extinguish fires without causing damage to sensitive equipment or leaving any residue, making it ideal for use in data centres, museums, and other environments where traditional water-based systems may be unsuitable.

Inert Gas Systems 541

IG541 is a preferred fire suppression solution for sensitive environments because it uses no chemical agents, ensuring safety in areas where water or foam could cause damage.

IG55 vs IG541

IG55 is 50% nitrogen and 50% argon, while IG541 contains 50% nitrogen, 27% argon, and 23% carbon dioxide. The addition of carbon dioxide in IG541 enhances its effectiveness in reducing oxygen levels, making it the preferred choice for protecting sensitive equipment.

IG541 vs IG100

IG541, a blend of nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide, is ideal for protecting valuable assets in enclosed spaces, while IG100, mainly nitrogen, is suited for high-purity environments.

IG541 vs IG01

IG541 is a safe, non-toxic fire suppression agent that does not affect the ozone layer and has a low global warming potential. In contrast, IG01, also known as argon gas, is an inert gas with zero environmental impact but requires higher flow rates for effective fire suppression.

IG541 vs FM200

IG541 is an inert gas mixture that reduces oxygen to extinguish fires and is environmentally friendly for occupied spaces. FM200, a chemical agent, interrupts combustion by absorbing heat and has a lower environmental impact than older agents, but it is still a hydrofluorocarbon.

Inert Gas Agents 541

Inergen IG-541 is a colourless, odourless, and electrically non-conductive gas. It is stored in high-pressure cylinders or low-pressure tanks connected to a network of piping and nozzles.

  • Pressure of IG-541: Approximately 300 bar (at 20°C)
  • Flooding factor of IG-541: Typically around 0.38
  • GWP of IG-541: 0 (it has no global warming potential)
  • Density of IG-541: Approximately 1.5 kg/m³ (at 20°C)
