Fire Suppression Systems

As one of the three elements of the ‘fire triangle’, oxygen (along with fuel and heat) is needed for any fire to flourish. Gas suppression systems tackle a fire by automatically filling a room with an inert gas (usually carbon dioxide), reducing the oxygen present to less than 15%, the level below which combustion is unable to happen.

That makes them safe to use in many environments, but a gaseous fire suppression system is particularly useful in server rooms, computer suites and other locations containing a lot of electrical equipment. That’s because it leaves no residue and won’t damage electrical equipment.

Scutum North is a leading local supplier and installer of top-quality gas fire protection solutions across North England, including the areas in and around Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester.

We can. And we always aim to beat any similar quote, so we’re confident that you’ll find that we represent exceptional value as well as providing reliable expertise.

How does a fire suppression system work?

A fire suppression system works by filling a sealed room with a gas – usually that will be carbon dioxide – that can safely extinguish a fire in a location where there is valuable electrical equipment, such as a server room. We can also carry out room integrity testing to check that the space in which a fire suppression system has been installed is secure enough for it to work effectively.

What is the difference between a fire suppression system and a sprinkler system?

A fire suppression system uses inert gas to kill a fire, whereas a sprinkler system uses water. That makes the fire suppression system the better choice for fires involving valuable electrical equipment.
