Another highly utilized clean agent fire suppressant offered as a replacement for halon 1301 is INERGEN, manufactured by Ansul, Inc. Unlike some other chemically mixed fire suppression agents INERGEN is a gaseous fire extinguishing agent comprised of the naturally occurring gases nitrogen (52%), argon (40%), and carbon dioxide (8%).

Protecting Lives:

Although early warning detection systems normally allow people to evacuate the area well before any agent is discharged, any number of unforeseen events may prevent immediate escape. This is why it is important that your extinguishing agent be safe to use in automatic, total flooding systems for normally-occupied areas.

One of the most remarkable aspects of INERGEN agent is that it removes enough oxygen from the air to extinguish fire, yet people are still able to breathe comfortably. That is because the carbon dioxide in INERGEN simultaneously stimulates the uptake of oxygen and enhances the body’s ability to use oxygen efficiently.

As a result, the brain continues to receive the same amount of oxygen as it would in a normal atmosphere – even when the oxygen concentration drops as low as 10%. The phenomenon has been proven by over 50 years of human exposure testing at various medical universities and government agencies.

Another advantage of INERGEN agent is that it won’t produce a fog, so escape routes remain visible. INERGEN agent is nontoxic, it won’t cause cardiac sensitization, and most importantly, it will not break down into toxic or corrosive decomposition products.

Protecting Property:

INERGEN agent will not conduct electricity, it leaves no residue to clean up, its temperature remains stable during discharge, and it emits no corrosive decomposition products. That’s why INERGEN systems are ideally suited for the protection of sensitive electronics and delicate irreplaceable assets.

INERGEN systems are fast. Although NFPA Standard 2001 allows up to one minute for inert gas discharge, INERGEN systems actually extinguish a fire much faster than one minute. In fact, actual fire performance tests have documented extinguishments in as little as 22 seconds on Class A fires and as little as 17 seconds on Class B fires.

Protecting The Environment:

INERGEN agent is completely environment-friendly. It is composed of entirely naturally occurring gases already found in the air we breathe. In fact, the INERGEN gas mixture presents no environmental impact,

  • ZERO ozone depletion potential
  • ZERO global warming potential
  • ZERO atmospheric lifetime 

When INERGEN agent is discharge, its components simply resume their role in the Earth’s life cycle. And because INERGEN is not a synthetic chemical, it is not subject to potential future use restrictions.

Telecommunications facilities have a strong interest in protecting against fire loss. Even a relatively small fire in a critical switching center can cause the loss of telecommunications service to both homes and businesses. For some the downtime would be inconvenient – for others, it could be critical. Lack of service for even a few hours can be crippling. Loss of service for a few days could be devastating. Direct damage to equipment, labor costs for repairs, and loss of revenue due to downtime must all be considered.
