Fire Suppression System For Your Home

Fire suppression systems provide a safer and more advanced alternative to traditional fire extinguishers, automatically detecting and suppressing fires while prioritising occupant safety, protecting property from irreparable water damage, and providing property and content insurance coverage against irreversible loss.
These systems typically involve piping that delivers suppression agents either via inert gas, class F wet chemicals, or high-pressure mist. Class F wet chemical systems store liquid chemicals that can then be super-pressurised before applying via special nozzles.
Water Suppression
Water-based fire suppression systems make use of the readily available resource of water as an inexpensive and readily available means of controlling fires when activated, typically during home construction with flexible copper or orange plastic tubing to minimize corrosion risk and sediment deposition. They require a water storage tank so sufficient quantities are dumped on any fire when necessary.
These systems can be implemented in sensitive technology environments where activating a sprinkler system would cause extensive and expensive water damage, including server rooms, data centers, warehouses with machinery/manufacturing areas as well as archives rooms and more.
High-pressure mist systems use less water than traditional fire sprinklers to do the same job: their droplets disperse oxygen away from a fire to extinguish it. Like all water-based suppression systems, these high-pressure mist systems must undergo rigorous testing and maintenance procedures according to manufacturer specifications, as well as meeting local ordinances and insurance company requirements to be certified for service.
Carbon Dioxide Suppression
Carbon dioxide fire suppression systems use liquid CO2 stored under high pressure. Once activated, these systems release this gas into their protected area in a thick blanket that removes oxygen from the environment and stops any fire from burning – non-toxic and leaving no residue like water or foam suppression systems can be used effectively against Class A, B and C hazards.
Due to the potential asphyxiation risks of CO2 systems, they require considerable precautions for use. Breathing too much CO2 could result in rapid breathing, confusion and hallucinations; for this reason most facilities that utilize it include pneumatic timers, alarms and odorizers to inform employees about its operation.
CO2 systems not only reduce risk of asphyxiation, but they have many other advantages as well. Notably, they’re ideal for sensitive equipment as they won’t damage it like water sprinklers or foam might; hence why these systems are often found in computer data centers or “server farms”. They even come equipped with timers that prevent accidental discharge during maintenance work.
Gas Suppression
Gaseous fire suppression systems use inert gases like nitrogen and argon to extinguish fire without harming people. Once smoke is detected, the system notifies occupants via notification device before sending a signal to its control panel to release fire extinguishing agents into the room. Furthermore, the system detects any pipes so as to know exactly where and when to deploy its agent for extinguishing purposes.
These systems use gases to disrupt the “Fire Triangle”, preventing combustion from taking place and are eco-friendly compared to traditional forms of fire suppression that rely on water that could potentially cause lasting damage to electrical equipment.
Fire suppression systems that protect electronic equipment or pose a significant threat to people in an area are an excellent choice when traditional methods cannot. Furthermore, these systems work fast to stop fire from spreading across your building quickly resulting in minimal damages and disruptions.
Foam Suppression
Foam systems use a combination of foam concentrate, water and air to produce a blanket of foam that extinguishes fires through cooling, isolating flame/ignition sources from product surfaces, and smothering. They are an ideal way to control fires in areas with combustible liquids.
These systems can often be found in aircraft hangars, flammable liquid storage facilities, and warehouses. Their quick foam release capabilities quickly fill a room while cutting oxygen off so as to smother any fires that arise within it.
High expansion foam systems produce dense foam blankets two feet or deeper for storage of flammable liquids, production lines and assembly areas, or loading racks for trucks or rail cars. They’re often the ideal choice when handling hazardous substances.
These systems work similarly to traditional wet sprinklers in that water is stored and distributed via pipes to discharge nozzles when smoke or heat sensors detect fire. Triggering mechanisms include smoke/heat detection devices, manual activation switches or thermal link systems.
