Fire Engineering Technology

A gas extinguishing system is a fire extinguishing system that extinguishes fire with the help of a gaseous extinguishing agent either through oxygen displacement (reduction of oxygen content) or physical effects (heat extraction). In contrast to a sprinkler system, a gas extinguishing system is designed to extinguish and not only suppress fire.

Gas extinguishing systems are used when water, foam or powder extinguishing systems are not effective or if extinguishing with the above-mentioned extinguishing agents could cause significant damage. Typical areas of use include all types of electrical switch rooms, IT and server rooms.

Gas extinguishing systems are the "cleanest" extinguishing systems. Extinguishing gases have no influence on conventional electrical systems such as servers, etc. A range of different extinguishing gases can be used for the extinguishing system. The specific properties of the different extinguishing gases also define their area of use. FET has already designed, hydraulically calculated and constructed a large number of gas extinguishing systems. FET has developed in-depth expertise through continuous employee training.

Stand alone fire suppression system is perhaps a bit of a misnomer, since this term refers to�individual devices that contain fire suppression mechanisms that are not linked to a bigger system
