Gaseous Fire Suppression systems are ideal for protecting sensitive, high value and operations critical areas / equipment.

From server rooms to plant rooms, gaseous fire suppression systems are ideal for the protection of your most valuable assets.

There are many different types of Gaseous systems that Blazequel can design, install and maintain.  Each is perfect for its own unique application; from a PAFSS system to protect a single switchboard, through to a multiple cylinder system for a large server room. Contact us today to discuss your requirements in more detail.

When you have a gaseous suppression system such as Inert Gas (like Argonite or Inergen), or a Chemical Gas (such as FM200), you’ll also need an integrity test to prove the airtight qualities of the room.  If your room isn’t sufficiently enclosed, your system won’t work as too much gas will leak away.

Perfect for delicate applications, such as plant rooms, electronics, mechanical assets, antiquities and archive materials.

Benefits
  • CO2 is clean. After extinguishing a fire, CO2 fully vaporises, leaving no residual mess, no water damage and minimal clean up.
  • CO2 is non-conductive and non-corrosive, therefore it can be used on energised electrical equipment, and will not contaminate foodstuffs.
  • CO2 is readily available throughout the world, and consequently it is relatively inexpensive to obtain. This is valuable in applications where storage containers may need frequent recharging.
How It Works
  • CO2 essentially suffocates the fire by reducing the oxygen levels below that which will sustain combustion.
  • CO2 can also be used for cooling, where the liquid form of the discharge is applied directly to the fire and risk materials.
  • CO2 is stored as liquid, under high pressure. When a system is activated, the liquid CO2 flows through discharge pipework to specially designed nozzles.

Perfect for protecting smaller areas, such as electrical switchgear, servers and plant applications.

Benefits
  • Exceptionally versatile fire suppression range, with a huge range of extinguishing technologies available. It is suitable for almost any type of fire risk.
  • Requires no external power supply, which makes it very fail-safe.
How It Works
  • Activated when the pressurised detection tubing is ruptured by the heat of a fire.
  • This allows the pressure contained in the tube to escape, which then releases the valve on the extinguishant cylinders, activating the suppression system.

Perfect for protecting areas of high value with limited space: Computer, server, switchgear rooms.

Benefits
  • Class A, B and C Fires extinguished in ten seconds or less – before the fire can develop.
  • Minimal oxygen reduction.
  • Safe in manned areas due to low toxicity rating.
  • Environmentally safe agent.
  • The system can be activated electrically, pneumatically, or manually with either local or remote control.
  • No particles or oily residues to damage delicate equipment.
How It Works
  • The molecules absorb heat so that the temperature of the flame falls to such a point that it is extinguished.
  • The oxygen depleting effect is minimal as only small quantities of the gas are used.

Perfect for protecting larger areas of high value: Ideal option for control and computer rooms, manned areas and ventilation systems.

Benefits
  • Fast acting.
  • Environmentally neutral.
  • Safe for occupied areas.
  • Leaves no residue.
  • Made up entirely of naturally occurring gasses.  Inert gasses produces no secondary combustion products and are particularly suitable for fighting fires in confined spaces.
  • Low molecular weight means it lingers longer than many of its alternatives when discharged to extinguish a fire. This reduces the importance of having an ‘airtight’ room. A process that can be very expensive and requires testing every time structural changes are made.
How It Works
  • In the event of a fire, a combination of inert, naturally occurring gases is released into the protected area.  
  • The fire is suffocated as this reduces the proportion of oxygen to below a level where fire can exist, while not to a level that would be fatal for humans.
