Inert gas fire suppression systems work by displacing oxygen in the protected area. This reduces the oxygen level from the normal 21% to a point where combustion cannot be supported, effectively suppressing the fire without causing harm to the environment or leaving residue after discharge.

Types of Inert Gas Systems:

There are several types of inert gas systems based on different gases or mixtures:

  • IG-100: Nitrogen (N2) – 100% nitrogen.
  • IG-01: Argon (Ar) – 100% argon.
  • IG-55 or Argonite™: 50% Nitrogen (N2) and 50% Argon (Ar).
  • IG-541 or INERGEN™: 6-8.4% CO2, 37.2-42.8% Argon (Ar), and 48.8-55.2% Nitrogen (N2).

System Configuration:

When used as a fire-fighting agent, inert gases are stored under high pressure in liquid phase inside high-pressure storage cylinders. These cylinders typically contain gas at 2900 psig (200 bar) or 4350 psig (300 bar). Common cylinder sizes include 80L or 140L.

Key Features:

  • Cost-effective and easy to access when refills are needed.
  • Wide range of proven safe hazard protection.
  • Environmentally friendly, with no impact on global warming or ozone depletion.

System Compliance:

The inert gas suppression system is based on NFPA-2001 and EN 15004 standards and is globally recognized by certified bodies such as UL, FM, and VdS.

Limitations of Use:

Inert gas suppression should not be used in the following conditions:
