This system uses inert gases or chemical agents to extinguish fires. It's commonly used in spaces where water-based systems could cause damage (e.g., data centers or archives).
-
Types of Gases:
-
Inert Gases: Nitrogen, argon, or a mix of these gases reduces oxygen levels, suffocating the fire.
-
Chemical Agents: Such as FM-200, Novec 1230, or CO₂, disrupt the chemical reaction of the fire.
