Clean gases are gases that are used to extinguish fires, are not electrically conductive and have no adverse effects on human health. Clean gas extinguishing systems extinguish the fire by both decreasing the temperature of the environment and reducing the amount of oxygen in the environment below the combustion limit. Clean gas extinguishing systems are widely used in extinguishing the electrical fires in occupied spaces.
The main criterion for the use of these systems as an efficient extinguishing system is to use them in conjunction with the right fire detection system. Clean gases are very efficient when used in conjunction with the early warning fire detection systems.
In case of a fire that occurs in an area where electronic equipment protected by clean gas extinguishing systems is present, they do not damage the electronic equipment not exposed to fire. After the gas has been discharged and the fire has been extinguished, the gas is cleaned by ventilating the space and no waste material is left in the environment. Besides, clean gas extinguishing systems provide the opportunity to continue the use of the room without any interruption, because it does not damage the electronic equipment not exposed to fire.
Gas extinguishing systems are the systems that are continuously developed in accordance with new technological developments and allow for alternative arrangements. It is possible to list the clean gases used in the gas extinguishing systems, which do not have a negative effect on human health, as follows:
