Watch Lee Kaiser speak about trending technology in clean agent fire suppression. In the video excerpt below, you can watch as he describes the different types of clean agent gases used in fire suppression systems.
There is much more information available in the full video than we will be releasing in our blog series. Don't miss out! If you'd like to watch the entire Trending Technology Clean Agent Systems portion of the seminar, click here to receive the full video.
Lee: So, available in the halocarbon agents--remember, halocarbons work to rapidly cool the room--one of the gases you may have heard before is FM-200. That's one of the most-common gases out there. Ecaro 25 is a gas that's exclusive to the Fike Corporation--very cost-competitive gas. NOVEC 1230 is a gas that's made by 3M--very environmentally friendly one. Who still has a Halon system out there? Anybody in the room that has Halon out there?
Seminar Participant: We do.
Lee: Halon was the predecessor to clean agents. Now we use clean agents--it's more environmentally friendly.
Some of the inert gas agents, just to list through them:
Inergen, made by Ansul. That's a gas marketed by Ansul.
Argonite and ProInert are the same gas.
Argonite, sold by Kidde Fire Systems.
ProInert is sold by Fike.
And then Kidde, or Kidde Fire Systems, also has a nitrogen system out there. And that's sort of exciting because it has the same density as air essentially. And so it tends to hold in a space very, very well--as all the inert gases do. But nitrogen does the best.
