What is gas suppression and how does it protect businesses?
Gas suppression systems use a mixture of gases to extinguish fires quickly and effectively without leaving residue or damaging delicate electronic equipment. These systems work by either reducing the oxygen level in the protected area to a point where combustion cannot occur or by interrupting the chemical reaction of the fire. This method is particularly beneficial in environments where water from traditional sprinkler systems could cause irreparable harm to high-value technology or data storage devices.
For businesses that operate server rooms, data centres, and tech manufacturing facilities, gas is a reliable solution that minimises downtime and ensures continuity of operations following a fire incident. By deploying such systems, businesses protect not only their physical assets but also the data and intellectual property that are increasingly central to modern enterprises.
What are the different types of gas suppression?
Suppression systems can utilise a variety of agents, each with unique properties and applications, ensuring the most appropriate solution can be tailored to specific business needs.
Inert suppression systems such as IG541, IG55 and IG100 are all blends of naturally occurring gases, highly effective in areas requiring a non-toxic and environmentally friendly approach. Its composition allows for safe use in occupied spaces, protecting property and personnel without evacuation concerns.
FK-5-1-12 extinguishing agent is ideal for protecting sensitive electronic equipment and irreplaceable items from fire, it is electrically non-conductive, non-corrosive and leaves no residue behind after a system discharge. In addition to being safe for your local environment, FK-5-1-12 has a low impact on the environment, with no ozone-depleting potential and a global warming potential of just one. It also has the added advantage of needing a smaller footprint when space is of a premium.
Each of these agents has been selected by Vipond for its performance, sustainability, and compliance with global environmental standards, offering businesses a comprehensive choice for their specific suppression needs.
Why do businesses need LPS1204 certificated systems?
