Inert Gas Fire Suppression System in Bangladesh
Environmentally friendly fire suppression using naturally occurring gases. We provide design and supply of IG55 and IG541 fire suppression systems throughout Bangladesh for critical asset protection.
What is an Inert Gas?
Inert gases are naturally occurring gases that surround us in the air we breathe every day. These are not fossil fuel-based or human-made gases. In today's environmentally conscious world where we focus on greener solutions, inert gases are one of the best choices.
When comparing with all other clean agents, inert gases are the most environmentally friendly option. Inert gases are explained as using one or more gases such as helium, nitrogen, or argon. Even CO2 is found in one of the inert gas blends.
The Greenest Solution
Inert gases work by removing oxygen from the fire risk area to a point where it will not support a fire, but without creating a threat to human life. They use natural methods to extinguish fires in the safest way possible.
How Inert Gas Fire Systems Work
The Basic Principle
The principle behind an inert gas fire system is to decrease the amount of oxygen present in the space where the fire has occurred. This is important because oxygen is essential for fires to spread.
While the oxygen level is decreased, the system does not remove all oxygen from the space. There is still enough oxygen available to support proper breathing until occupants can safely exit the building.
Normal Air
Oxygen level in the air we breathe
Fire Threshold
Minimum oxygen level for fire to burn
Human Safety
Minimum oxygen level for human survival
Optimal Range: To extinguish fire and sustain human life, the system decreases oxygen from 21% to below 15% but not less than 12%. This extinguishes fire while keeping occupants alive without suffocation.
Unique System Features
Distinctive Valve Assembly
Because of its distinctive valve assembly, inert gas agent requires 60 seconds to enter the fire risk room at a steady flow rate. This prevents any negative turbulence from occurring.
Steady Flow Benefits
- No negative turbulence
- Controlled agent distribution
- Safe for sensitive equipment
Cost Advantages
- Low pressure piping
- Small-diameter connections
- Reduced installation costs
