Inergen, also known as IG541, is a combination of gasses found naturally in the atmosphere (52% Nitrogen, 40% Argon, and 8% Carbon dioxide). Consequently, activating the system has no environmental impact, as it has no global warming potential or ozone depletion potential.
When a fire erupts, the Inergen system is triggered automatically, typically extinguishing the fire within 40 seconds and preventing re-ignition. The fire is suppressed by Inergen reducing the oxygen concentration in the protected area from 20.9% to around 12%. This reduced oxygen level smothers the fire before it can grow. This approach averts consequential harm to interiors, inventory, data, and equipment, making it truly distinctive.
Remaining in a room where an Inergen system is activated is completely safe for humans. You might find yourself taking deeper breaths than usual. This natural response occurs because your brain seeks the same oxygen amount as before the system activated, even as the oxygen level drops. This adjustment happens automatically.
Safe Fire Protection for assets and structures
Whether safeguarding storage spaces, batteries, equipment, or engine compartments, an Inergen solution offers optimal protection for both assets and personnel.
