The INERGEN Clean Agent Fire Suppression System is characterized by its unique composition—a fusion of three naturally occurring gases: nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide. Upon release, INERGEN swiftly inundates the environment, maintaining suspension to promptly and effectively quell fires. This inert gas amalgam bears the distinctive advantage of being residue-free and devoid of corrosive by-products, thereby averting additional property harm.
A standout feature of INERGEN is its inherent safety for individuals. Diverging from halocarbon (chemical) alternatives that can yield perilous levels of hydrogen fluoride in the presence of fire, INERGEN remains entirely non-toxic. It generates no corrosive decomposition products whatsoever. Moreover, the discharge of INERGEN does not induce fog, ensuring that escape routes remain visible during the suppression process. The intriguing aspect of INERGEN lies in its ability to diminish the oxygen level sufficiently to extinguish flames, while ensuring an ample oxygen supply for breathing.
Remarkably, individuals exposed to INERGEN’s extinguishing concentrations encounter the same oxygen supply to the brain as they would in a standard atmosphere. This attribute proves vital in scenarios where immediate evacuation might not be immediately achievable, highlighting INERGEN’s commitment to both fire suppression and the safety of those present.
