IG-541New Technology in Fire Suppression System

• Concept of using Inert gas like Argon and mixture
  of Argon and Nitrogen in the fire protection is
  very old.
• However
• Concept of using Halon alternative with high
  pressure is the new technology.

Introduction

• The search for effective fire extinguishing
  system in the place of Halon provide the choice
  between chemical halocarbon agents HFC, HCFC and
  PFC and Inerting gases.
• The inerting gases offer advantages over halon in
  terms of environmental impact and genuinely clean
  agent extinction without breakdown.

Awareness

• Global Supplier
• Inert Gas System is being used already globally.
• Inergen, Argonite, Argotec, Argon Fire are the
  trade name of Inert Gas Clean Agent suppliers.
• NFPA, ISI or any other standard do not specify
  these trade name.
• Inert Gas Clean Agent will be represented only by
  IG-100, IG-01,
• IG-55, IG-541.

Inert Gas Clean Agent Nitrogen IG 100
Inertly Yours

• Features
• Low refilling cost
• 99.9 Nitrogen
• Single Noble Gas
• Needing no mixing
• Heavier than air (1.38 time density of air)
  Protect low level fires
• No agent breakdown
• No fogging of room atmosphere upon discharge
• Minimum short-term room cooling. Condensation on
  equipment is avoided
• Discharge time 1 minute as per NFPA
• Unlike chemical agents, Nitrogen does not break
  down in the flame to form Hydrogen fluoride or
  other toxic/corrosive gas. Nitrogen does not
  contribute to corrosive damage to equipment

• Extinguishing Principle
• Extinguish fire by reducing oxygen by replacing
  air in the room.
• Oxygen level is reduce to the level where it will
  not support Combustible material for combustion
  to be maintained.
• In air oxygen is 21. When Oxygen is reduced
  bellow 16 fire suppression takes place. When
  Oxygen is reduced beyond 12 fire is extinguished.

Inertly Yours Conclusion

• Nitrogen IG-100 system are to a well proven
  design for a wide range of risks.
• Nitrogen IG-100 system provide fire protection
  that in most respects is superior to that
  provided with HALON 1301 and thus purchasers can
  specify in confidence, knowing that they have an
  effective fire protection, with an agent that is
  safe, clean and will not be caught up in any
  future environmental legislation.
