Businesses can choose from several fire suppression systems that react to smoke or heat to extinguish fires. An increasingly common option is a “clean agent” fire suppression system that uses gas rather than water. The gas absorbs heat and stops combustion to put out fires. The following are reasons to use this type of system for your facility.

Why Consider Clean Agent Fire Suppression Systems for Your Business?

1. Safe for Electronics

Suppression systems that use water or wet or dry chemicals can cause significant damage to computers and other sensitive equipment and materials. By releasing a non-corrosive and non-volatile gas, clean agent suppression systems won’t damage vulnerable electronics.

2. Fast Response With Minimal Disruption

Clean agent fire suppression systems flood the room with gas in as little as 10 seconds, quickly putting out the fire. This prevents soot and smoke accumulation while keeping the fire from spreading. The clean agent doesn’t leave behind residue, so you won’t have a mess to clean up. Your team can get back to work quickly, minimizing the disruption to your usual routines.

3. Safe for People

Clean agent systems are safe for people and the environment. Using inert gases ensures that they aren't harmful if inhaled. The vast majority of clean agent fire suppression systems have zero potential for ozone depletion, making them far more eco-friendly than other solutions. Your team can have peace of mind knowing that they are safe from fires and side effects from other suppression options.
