FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS SOLIHULL
Fire Suppression Systems Solihull
Experts in the design, installation & servicing of many types of fire suppression systems
A fire suppression system is an integral part of any fire protection infrastructure. ‘Fire suppression’ is a collective term for any engineering group of units that are designed to put out a fire. This can be achieved by applying various extinguishing substances most suitable for the design and system criteria requirements.
Clean Agent Fixed Fire Suppression Systems Solihull
Fire suppression systems for server rooms and data centres are essential to the server room itself. A fire suppression system will automatically extinguish a fire without the need of human intervention. Fire suppression systems for data centres must be suitable for clean air environments, as server rooms and data centres are mostly occupied by personnel. Clean agent fire suppression systems are essential for business continuity with minimum disruption to working processes. The design standards for fire suppression systems for server rooms and data centres are carried out with strict guidelines, as the fire suppression agents used can be dangerous if not designed correctly. The two main ways of suppressing a fire in these environments are:
Synthetic
Fire suppression agents have some form of cooling mechanism. These systems generally use less gas and do not significantly reduce oxygen levels. However, as with any synthetic agent, high doses can be toxic, therefore correct designs are absolutely necessary. The two most common synthetic gases used as suppression system agents are HFC-227ea – also referred to as FM200 and NOVEC 1230
- Synthetic fire suppression systems will deliver its payload within 10 seconds
- Fewer cylinders are required and in some cases, the cylinders are larger than inert gas cylinders
- Low pressures are used only 25 Bar and 42 Bar
- Will require pressure relief venting for both negative and positive pressures during discharge.
Our synthetic agent suppression systems are designed, installed, commissioned and maintained under the requirements of BS EN 15004-1:2008, the relevant sub-regulations particular to the agent being utilized and F-Gas Regulations (Amended 2018).
Inert Gases
To displace the oxygen in the server room. The basis of this method is to reduce the oxygen level to below 15%. By reducing oxygen to this level it will suppress a fire. The design must also consider the safety of personnel and keep oxygen levels to above 12%, this will be sufficient to maintain life within an oxygen depleted environment. The two most common Inert gases used as suppression system agents, either on their own or as part of a blended mix, are Argon and Nitrogen, and the most readily available agents utilising these two gases on today’s market are IG-01 – Argon, IG-55 – Argonite: A 50/50 blend of Argon and Nitrogen and IG-541 – 52% Nitrogen, 40% Argon & 8% CO2
- Inert gas fire suppression systems will discharge its payload within 1 – 2 minutes
- Will generally have more cylinders than chemical gases
- Work with higher pressures, 200 Bar or 300 Bar
- Will require Pressure relief venting
Our Inert agent suppression systems are designed, installed, commissioned, and maintained under the requirements of BS EN 15004-1:2008, and the relevant sub-regulation particular to the agent being utilised, & BS 5306-4.
Jactone PAFSS KitchenGuard Fire Suppression System
Commercial kitchen fires can arise in numerous ways and are difficult to control. Jactone PAFSS KitchenGuard, kitchen fire suppression systems certified to LPCB standard LPS 1223 have been specifically designed to protect cooking equipment and put out any fires quickly and efficiently.
Fires in the foodservice industry account for 10% of overall fires in non-dwelling buildings and 17% of non-fatal casualties (Source: Home Office Incident Recording System. 2014/15 Statistics). Food and drink premises are regarded as one of the more high-risk categories because of the hazards associated with kitchens.
The PAFSS solution is a fully tested, approved, and certified solution for fire protection of their kitchen and catering equipment. It incorporates many innovative features, to bring ground-breaking characteristics and reliability to anyone with responsibility for kitchen fire suppression.
With kitchen fires being difficult to contain and control, KitchenGuard has been specifically designed to protect catering equipment in accordance with LPS 1223: “Requirements and testing procedures for the LPCB certification and listing of fixed fire extinguishing systems for catering equipment”.
