How Does The Argonite System Work In Gaseous Fire Suppressionpl Provide Infoon Its Fundamantals?
A dedicated, flexible solution In a closed space almost all fires are extinguished in less than 60 seconds when the concentration of oxygen falls below 15%. The Argonite fire extinguishing system, based on a mixture of 50% Nitrogen and 50% Argon, reduces the oxygen concentration to 12.5% – a level acceptable to human exposure over short periods – thus eliminating the fire quickly and effectively without affecting personnel. Knowing the size and complexity of the area to be protected, the fire hazard present and the requirements of the local approving authority, a dedicated computer program is used to specify the size and geometry of the Argonite system hardware. Generally one of two methods is used to protect an area with Argonite. These are total flooding, where the required amount of gas is released into a room, and modular or local systems that are designed to cover a particular piece of enclosed machinery, equipment, etc. Efficient, cost-efficient protection Argonite systems consis
