INERGEN
ANSUL® INERGEN® systems protect enclosed areas where there is a need for quick reaction to a fire,
where people may be present, where fire may strike day or night, and where damage from
conventional agents cannot be tolerated. This environment-friendly, people-safe agent boasts ZERO
ozone depletion potential, ZERO global warming potential, and ZERO atmospheric lifetime.
INERGEN® extinguishing agent used in Ansul engineered systems is particularly useful for hazards
where an electrical, nonconductive medium is essential or desirable; where clean-up of other agents
presents a problem; where hazard obstructions require the use of a gaseous agent; or where the
hazard is normally occupied and requires a non-toxic agent.
NERGEN is an effective fire extinguishing agent that can be used on many
types of fires.
INERGEN extinguishing system units are designed for total flooding
protection against
Class A surface burning, Class B flammable liquid, and Class C fires
occurring within an
enclosure by lowering the oxygen content below the level that supports combustion
INERGEN agent has been tested by FMRC for inerting capabilities. Those tests have shown
that INERGEN agent, at design concentrations between 40% and 50%, has successfully
inerted mixtures of propane/air, and methane/air.
The following are typical hazards protected by INERGEN systems:
Computer rooms
Subfloors
Tape storage
Telecommunications/Switchgear
Vaults
Process equipment
All normally occupied or unoccupied areas where electronic equipment is either very sensitive or
irreplaceable
