Ansul Inergen Fire Suppression Systems

INERGEN agent is a plentiful, non-corrosive gas that does not support combustion nor react with most substances. INERGEN agent contains only naturally-occurring gases, which have no impact to the ozone or the environment in general. The INERGEN agent is a mixture of three inerting (oxygen diluting) gases: 52% nitrogen, 40% argon, and 8% carbon dioxide. INERGEN agent extinguishes fire by lowering the oxygen content below the level that supports combustion. When INERGEN agent is discharged into a room, it introduces the proper mixture of gases that still allow a person to breathe in a reduced oxygen atmosphere.

INERGEN agent is a mixture of three naturally occurring gases: nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide. As INERGEN agent is derived from gases present in the earth’s atmosphere, it exhibits no ozone depleting potential, does not contribute to global warming, nor does it contribute unique chemical species with extended atmospheric lifetimes. Because INERGEN agent is composed of atmospheric gases, it does not pose the problems of toxicity associated with the chemically derived Halon alternative agents

The INERGEN Fire Suppression System, manufactured by Tyco, is an engineered clean-agent system utilizing a fixed nozzle agent distribu-tion network. The system is designed and installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 2001, ‘‘Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems.’’ When properly designed, the INERGEN system will suppress surface burning fire in Class A, B, and C hazards by lowering the oxygen content below the level that supports combustion.
The system can be actuated by detection and control equipment for automatic system operation along with providing local and remote manual operation as needed. Accessories are used to provide alarms, ventilation control, door closures, or other auxiliary shutdown or functions.
