What is a Fire Suppression System?
A fire suppression system is a collection of units which detect and extinguish fires. They’re designed to activate automatically if signs of a fire, such as heat, smoke or flames, are detected. By quickly reacting to the situation, these systems minimise the risk of severe property damage or injuries.
Fire suppression systems are often considered essential in environments where the risk of fire are high, such as data centres, industrial facilities and archives.
What are the different types of Fire Suppression Systems?
There are typically 4 different types of fire suppression systems we would help you choose from. They are based on the different methods used to extinguish the fire. The choice will largely depend on the risks and requirements of your particular environment.
The most commonly used system, using water to extinguish fires. These systems release water through sprinklers, mists or deluge valves which release large quantities of water at once.
These systems release a foam to smother and suppress the fire, particularly useful in environments where flammable liquids are used.
These systems use either wet or dry fire-retardant chemicals that suppress fires. These chemicals interfere with the combustion process and prevent re-ignition. Dry chemicals are particularly useful in suppressing electrical fires.
A gas is released which displaces the oxygen in the room, preventing the fires growth. These gasses can be dangerous, so they are best used in largely unoccupied environments such as data centres.
Key benefits of Fire Suppression Systems
- Cost savings with reduced insurance rates and need for repairs
- Systems reduce disruption and downtime for businesses
- 24/7 protection in areas that are often unoccupied, such as data centres
- Rapid fire detection minimises risk of severe damage or injury
- Protection of valuable and expensive assets
