Fire Detection is not always a good enough safety measure; that’s why the Fire Extinguishing System must be activated immediately. The system is used to secure different building spaces and physical and intangible assets from fire damage. However, fire extinguishing process without an appropriate system can also result in destruction in some cases. For instance, extinguishing fire with water or powder may damage library books, archived documents, electrical devices, servers, depositories, etc. Therefore, after conducting assessments in such building spaces and weighting related risks, a relevant fire suppression system and agent are picked out.
The most widely used relevant system is a Gaseous Fire Suppression System. Its primary purpose is to stop fire from spreading at the initial stage. The system consists of smoke sensors, early fire detection system and fire extinguishers. When the system detects smoke, it turns on the light and sound signals and when the smoke level increases, the system then releases clean agent from the fire extinguishers. Fire detection and suppression is performed automatically, without human intervention, although it is possible to activate or halt the process manually. An extinguishing agent is determined based on the room volume. The room and the fire extinguishing system equipment installed in it are monitored and configured from a single panel using network control. It is extremely important that a clean agent and fire extinguishers are officially certified, do not cause harm to people’s health or result in damage and failure of electric devices.
