Gas fire extinguishing is one of the many ways to fight fire, during which the following extinguishing agents are used:

• and refrigerants.

The main advantages of gas fire extinguishing over water, aerosol, foam and powder fire extinguishing:

2. the effects of the gas installation are easily eliminated by through ventilation.

An automatic gas fire extinguishing system usually consists of:

• control units,
• pipelines and nozzles that provide gas delivery and release to the protected premises,
• control and fire detectors.

See Table for the standard parameters of the most commonly used gases.:

For a simplified calculation of the required amount of gas, you can use the given mass concentrations of State Standard.

• Refrigerant 125 – 0,8 кг/м3
• Refrigerant 227 – 0,6 кг/м3
• СО2 – 1,2 кг/м3
