What is a Fire Suppression system?

A fire suppression system must be a part of any fire prevention program. To ensure that tenants and building occupants feel safe, both site teams and building owners must follow fire safety regulations.


What's the working principle of a fire suppression system?


Fire suppression systems will include components that can detect and extinguish fires instantly.


Why choose an automatic fire suppression system instead?


An automatic fire suppressor system works in the same manner as a traditional system. An automatic fire suppression device will include elements that detect smoke and heat. An automatic fire suppression device will include a container with a suppression agent.


A automated fire suppression device that does not require humans to activate. This system is ideal for extinguishing difficult-to-reach fires.


When is it best to have a fire suppression system installed?


For buildings that cannot be protected against fire, fire suppression systems should be considered. Fire suppression systems are recommended for rooms with valuable electrical equipment and irreplaceable assets that are susceptible to water damage.


What is the difference types of fire suppression?


Gas systems


These gas suppression systems make use of nitrogen-pressurized liquids to suppress flames.

Kitchens equipped with wet chemical foam systems


To prevent kitchen fires, wet chemical foam systems are possible. You can activate them with either a heat switch or a heat link. When heated, the link will snap. This activates the foam release mechanism.


Water mist systems


You can use water mist systems in areas where it is not possible to sustain large amounts of water.

Foam deluge systems


Protecting areas containing flammable liquids can be challenging. Foam Deluge Systems cool liquids using water and foam. These systems look very similar to traditional fire extinguishers.


Heat detection tubes


Pneumatic heat detector tubes are very similar in design and function to fire extinguishers. The pipe emits a suppressive agent directly onto the flames when the temperature is at least 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
