Fire Extinguishing Systems

Fire extinguishing systems are an effective solution for extinguishing fires that may occur in spaces that are important for operations or house valuables, for example.

• Electrical rooms
• Spaces for reserve generators and data centers
• Art storage rooms

These systems use different methods to extinguish fires but have in common that they prevent the fires from spreading and causing damage.

Automatic fire extinguishing systems for rooms with sensitive equipment such as computer and network equipment are gas extinguishing systems with an extinguishing medium that is harmless to humans, the environment and the equipment in the room.

Some systems lower the oxygen levels in the room so that the fire is extinguished but not enough to be harmful to humans. Others cool the fire by drawing in energy so that the fire cannot burn.

These types of systems are suitable for technical rooms, data centers, art storage rooms, ships’ engine rooms and other sensitive spaces where an immediate response is needed in the event of fire.

Foam fire extinguishing systems are used to protect range hoods and cooking appliances in commercial kitchens and restaurants.

They extinguish fires by spraying the surface with foam. That prevents oxygen from feeding the fire and it cannot re-ignite.

These properties are important because even if a fire has been extinguished, there is a considerable risk of it re-igniting.

Nozzles are arranged so that they spray over cooking appliances, along the hood and up into the extraction duct. Nozzles and thermal sensors are carefully places so that they do not prevent access to cooking appliances.

In the engine rooms of smaller boats and rooms without computer equipment, fire extinguishing systems with fixed extinguishing mediums are often used. When activated, particles are created that enter the chemical process of the fire and prevent the fire fuel from burning.

These systems have good extinguishing properties and are harmless to the environment, humans and equipment.
