    Nn100 Suppression Gas

    Uploaded by

    احمد الجزار2007
    This document summarizes a nitrogen gas fire suppression system. Nitrogen gas is an inert gas agent that puts out fires by depleting oxygen below 14%. It has several advantages over other halon alternatives such as being non-toxic, having no chemical or thermal impacts, and no mist generation allowing for clear visibility. Nitrogen gas systems have been widely adopted internationally due to their cost and space savings compared to other agents. The system works by discharging nitrogen gas from storage cylinders to reduce oxygen levels in a protected space within 60 seconds while maintaining oxygen levels safe for human occupancy.

    concentration to 12.5%

    9 Fires are extinguished when the oxygen concentration is below 14%

    Longer life time for fire suppression


    9 The specific weight of nitrogen gas is as heavy as that of the air,
    which creates an even distribution for longer time of gases in a

    IMPACT TO PROPERTY
    Inert gas

    Halocarbon

    HF is strongly corrosive gas


    which might damage property

    NRC (National Research Council Canada)


    A computer card, after exposure to
    more than 500 ppm of HF,
    had a total loss of functionality

    VISUAL DISTURBANCE
    Inert gas: Stored in the form of gas.

    No mist is generated clear visibility, which


    enables trapped person escape easily

    Halocarbon: Agent is stored in the form of liquid.

    Sudden vaporization takes place and causes


    condensation in the air. Volumes of mist is
    generated

    Poor Visibility

    Condensation on Valuables

    INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION
    Authorized quality and performance

    Engineered type

    Packaged type

    Multiple zone protection from a


    cylinder room, which reduce
    number of cylinder required.
    Flexibility in designing allows it
    to fit most rooms.

    Save-space is realized because


    of no cylinder room required.
    No big plumbing work is
    necessary which reduces
    installation cost.
