Dry Fire Suppression Systems

One of the most common types of fire suppression systems is the water sprinkler system. Water can be an effective way to slow or stop many types of fires, but it often comes at the cost of the property in a building. When water is used as a suppressant, any paper documents, electronic systems, and other items that are nearby can be damaged or ruined completely. This is where the usefulness of a dry system can come into play.

Dry fire suppression systems, such as ABC or BC type powders, can choke off a fire without doing much damage to the property nearby. When you can suppress a fire without doing damage to expensive equipment or important documents, you can save a great deal of money in replacement costs. Not only that, but when a fire is able to be completely suppressed instead of slowed, you can give those who might be in the building more time to get out safely.

What is a Fire Suppression System?

Fire Suppression System is an umbrella term that includes products like fire sprinkler systems, gas fire suppressants, and wet & dry chemical agents. A type of fire suppression system that is becoming increasingly popular today is the gas fire suppressant, also called a Clean Agent Fire Suppressant. Instead of using water, like a traditional fire sprinkler system, a clean agent fire suppressant uses gas to break down a fire at the molecular level. The gas reduces the fire's fuel, reduces its heat, reduces or isolates its oxygen and stops the chain reaction that occurs as a result of the above three steps. This method also leaves behind no residue, creates far less damage and doesn't require the expensive cleanup that a water sprinkler system does.
