Argon-systems use a gas that is naturally prevalent in the atmosphere. It is nonconductive, colorless, orodless,
insipid and chemically neutral. The gas is safe for human health, non toxic and it does not produce corrosive
or hazardous residues.
The fire suppression industry must be responsible with the environment, also. The argon gas is completely ecological, with zero ozone depleteion potential (ODP) and global warming potential (GWP). This allows to perform real tests, without any environmental damage.
This system extinguishes fire by lowering the oxigen level in the protected area enough to make combustion unsustainable. The gas concentration is always adjusted according to the protected risks. Most fires are always extinguished with an oxigen concentration lowered to 14%. Existing equirements to protect inhabitants of occupied rooms are always observed.
After an argon gas discharge, the visibility is good. In case of a system activation in an occupied area, the emergency exits remain clear. A possible panic of the escaping people is avoided.
Following we show you some areas of application for Argon - systems (examples).
