What is INERGEN? • A fire extinguishing system/method using an inert gas blend to extinguish a fire. • Also known as IG541 • Main components of the system: • Cylinders • The gas. • Valves, manifolds and actuators. • Pipework and nozzles.
What is INERGEN? • Other important elements of the system: • The protected room itself. • Control panel and alarms. • Alarm organisation, user interaction. • Detection • A decade ago it was predominantly used in server rooms and Marine & Off-Shore. • Marine & Off-Shore were often manual systems only, and server rooms controlled environments where Point smoke detectors and aspirating systems would do a good job.
