N2 TUV IG100 Clean Agent Fire Suppression System With Alarm Systems

IG100 Clean Agent Fire Suppression System leverages the inert properties of nitrogen (N₂) to deliver advanced fire protection for server rooms. As a pure gaseous clean agent, nitrogen offers distinct advantages over traditional suppressants:

Non-Conductive Purity: With 99.97% nitrogen concentration, the system ensures zero electrical conductivity, making it ideal for safeguarding sensitive IT infrastructure like servers, routers, and storage arrays. Unlike water or dry powder, the nitrogen agent does not induce short circuits or damage electronic components during or after fire suppression.

Environmentally Benign: Nitrogen is a natural component of Earth’s atmosphere (comprising 78% of air), ensuring zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and zero global warming potential (GWP). This aligns with international sustainability standards, making the IG100 system compliant with LEED-certified green buildings and eco-conscious data centers.

Residue-Free Operation: The gaseous agent dissipates completely after fire suppression, leaving no particulate, chemical, or moisture residue. This eliminates post-fire cleanup costs and downtime, allowing server rooms to resume full operation within minutes.

Thermal Stability: Nitrogen maintains chemical stability even at high temperatures, preventing the release of toxic byproducts during fire events. This ensures safe occupancy for personnel and protects long-term equipment reliability.

 
 
Application:
 

IG100 Clean Agent Fire Suppression System is engineered to combat a wide range of fire classes in server room environments:

1. Class A Fires (Common Combustibles)
While rare in server rooms, Class A fires from paper, wood, or plastic insulation can occur due to cable overheating. The nitrogen agent suppresses these fires by reducing oxygen concentration to below 15%, the threshold for sustained combustion. This method is particularly effective in preventing smoldering residues that could reignite, unlike water-based systems that may leave damp materials prone to secondary fires.

2. Class B Fires (Flammable Liquids/Gases)
Server rooms often house backup power systems with lithium-ion batteries or small quantities of flammable coolants. The IG100 system rapidly suppresses Class B fires by disrupting the fire’s chemical reaction chain, preventing vapor cloud explosions and containing fires within battery enclosures or fluid storage areas. Case studies show a 92% reduction in fire spread time compared to dry chemical systems in similar scenarios.

3. Class C Fires (Energized Electrical Equipment)
As the primary fire risk in server rooms, Class C fires from short circuits or overloaded power supplies require non-conductive suppression. The IG100 system’s nitrogen agent safely extinguishes these fires without risking electrical arcs or equipment damage, unlike water which conducts electricity and exacerbates hazards. This makes it compliant with NFPA 75 (Standard for the Fire Protection of Information Technology Equipment).

4. Class K Fires (Cooking Oils – Ancillary Risks)
In server rooms co-located with kitchenettes or maintenance areas, the IG100 system provides secondary protection against Class K fires. While not its primary design, the agent’s ability to suppress deep-seated fires in cooking oils by smothering flames ensures comprehensive coverage for hybrid-use facilities.

5. Specialized Risks in Modern Server Rooms
Aerosolized Coolants: For server rooms using liquid-cooled systems with dielectric fluids, the IG100 agent suppresses fires without contaminating the coolant, preserving expensive infrastructure.
