What is a gas extinguishing system?

A gas extinguishing system is designed to eliminate the threat of an electrical fire and should be used when water or foam will not be effective. Sometimes water and foam would cause significant damage to electrical equipment which adds to the importance of gas extinguishing systems. Areas where these systems are needed include electrical switch rooms and IT server rooms.

The systems are activated via a smoke detector and will act quickly to extinguish a fire. It is important they come on as soon as required to limit the damage to equipment and the structure of a building. By doing so a business can continue operations effectively and recovery costs can be reduced.
