IG-100 (N2) Nitrogen Fire Suppression System

 

Selecting the right fire suppression system is crucial for ensuring the maximum safety of people and property in the event of a fire. The IG-100 (N2) Nitrogen Fire Suppression System is perfect for enclosed areas that need an automatic system without using water or foam. Here are the details:

1. General Information

• Fire Extinguishing Agent: IG-100 (Nitrogen)

• Air Tank Capacity: 84L - 140L

• Air Tank Pressure: 200 bar/280 bar/300 bar

• Tank Head Valve: Includes a pressure relief function, with a discharge pressure of 60-80 bar

• Calculation of Gas Extinguishing Systems: VdS/ KFi Software

• Certifications: BS EN ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 (UKAS)

• Unique Capability:

- S-TEC VINA is the only company in Vietnam that can load tanks to a maximum pressure of 350 bar.

- Other pressure levels are available upon request, including 223 bar and 240 bar.

 

 

2. Operating Principle

• Nitrogen is an inert gas that extinguishes fires by depleting oxygen. In enclosed spaces, it can extinguish fires within 60 seconds.

• Nitrogen gas does not corrode metals, making it safe for metal equipment and objects.

• Nitrogen is highly effective at isolating fires and does not produce harmful decomposition gases. Unlike Carbon Dioxide (CO2), nitrogen does not pose a risk of poisoning. Inhaling nitrogen in a fire situation is safe for humans.

• Nitrogen is an inert gas naturally found in the environment, posing no environmental harm. It does not affect the ozone layer and has a global warming potential of zero.

3. Inspection and Maintenance

 

According to ISO/TCVN standards, the following inspection and maintenance procedures must be implemented as outlined. These procedures should also be carried out if any unusual event occurs that could impact the systems safety.

♦ Step 1: Inspect the pressure gauge on each gas tank. If the gauge indicates a pressure exceeding 5%, the tank should be refilled or replaced. Its important to account for temperature fluctuations, as they affect pressure readings.
♦ Step 2: Inspect all components, including the mounting bracket. Tighten, repair, or replace any parts as needed.
♦ Step 3: Replace any components if there are concerns about their ability to function properly.
♦ Step 4: Check all pipes, fittings, and exhaust nozzles for looseness, dirt, or damage. Ensure all outlet piping is clean and free of dirt, debris, plugs, or any other foreign materials that could prevent the system from discharging extinguishant effectively.

 

The entire system must be inspected and tested for operation at least once a year, or more often if required by the competent authority, by personnel trained by the manufacturer.

♦ Containers: Containers should undergo periodic inspections as mandated by relevant national standards.
♦ Pipes: All system pipes must be inspected annually for damage. If visual inspection reveals any defects, the pipes must be replaced.
♦ Protected Areas: Rooms equipped with gas fire suppression systems should be checked at least once every 12 months. This inspection evaluates whether there have been any structural changes that could impact the containment of fire extinguishing gas or affect firefighting effectiveness. If visual inspection is insufficient for evaluation, regulatory guidelines require checking the rooms integrity.

 

► Ideal for closed requiring an automatic fire extinguishing system without the use of water or foam, such as:

• Control rooms and data processing centers
• Transformer rooms, power rooms, and engine cooling rooms
• Telecommunications equipment, record storage, and cable tunnels
• Flammable liquid storage and paint booths
• Medical facilities, libraries, museums, and art galleries
• Server rooms and explosives storage areas
