High-value computer and server rooms are critical to the operations of your business. These areas require specialised fire protection to safeguard sensitive equipment and ensure business continuity in the event of a fire. Our advanced fire detection and suppression systems are designed to protect valuable IT infrastructure while reducing downtime and damage.

Tailored Fire Protection for IT Environments

Fire Detection Systems for Server Rooms

Our state-of-the-art fire detection systems are specifically designed for high-risk areas such as data centers and server rooms. Using advanced smoke and heat sensors, these systems detect fires at their earliest stages, allowing for quick intervention and minimising potential damage to your valuable equipment.

Gas Suppression Systems

For sensitive environments like server rooms, traditional fire suppression methods, such as water, can cause more harm than good. Our gas suppression systems use clean agents like FM-200 or inert gases that effectively extinguish fires without damaging equipment or leaving behind any harmful residues. These systems offer a safe and reliable solution for protecting your IT infrastructure.

How Does Chemical Gas Suppress Fire?

Chemical and synthetic gases suppress fire by eliminating the heat component of the fire triangle. Unlike inert gases, which work by reducing oxygen levels, chemical agents like FM200 or Novec 1230 function through chemical reactions. This means less agent is needed for effective suppression, allowing for a smaller system footprint when space is limited.

Will The Gas Be Discharged If There Is a False Alarm?

In total flood systems, the detection and activation mechanism typically involves a network of detectors designed for coincidence operation, also known as double knock. When the first detector detects fire, the system enters the first stage alarm, allowing time to investigate any potential fire causes. The system can be reset at this stage, or it will stay in the first stage until a second detector also senses fire. Once the second detector is triggered, the system activates the second stage alarm and starts a countdown for gas discharge.

For early warning, you can install a High Sensitivity Smoke Detection (HSSD) aspiration system. This allows for early investigation of potential fires, helping to prevent unnecessary gas discharge.

What If I'm in the Room When the Gas is About to Discharge?

The system's control panel features a key-operated switch that allows you to choose between manual and automatic modes. Before entering a room protected by a gaseous suppression system, it’s important to switch to manual mode. This prevents the system from advancing to the second stage if a fire is detected.Discharge hold-off buttons are also installed within the protected area, allowing the discharge countdown to be paused and reset while the cause of the alarm is investigated.Risk assessments and insurance requirements often make it essential to have fire detection and control measures in place.
