Fire protection systems sometimes damage or even destroy the items they are intended to protect. Clean agent fire suppression systems were developed to prevent damage of equipment, records, people and other assets that are vital to a business. They use gas instead of water to put out the fire without causing damage. When heat or smoke is detected, a signal is sent to the system that sends the clean agent directly to the hazardous area, usually within 10 seconds. As the clean agent fills the room, the heat is absorbed which suppresses the fire. There are many important features and benefits to using a clean agent fire suppression system.
