Halon Fire Suppression Systems

There are many different options available when it comes to a fire suppression system. Each facility is different and has different needs. When designing a fire suppression system that will meet your company's requirements, there are a lot of things to take into consideration. One of those things is the agent that will be released when the system engages. In this blog, we're going to highlight one of those agents, Halon.

How it Works
Halon is known as a "Clean Agent," which is defined by the National Fire Protection Association  as "an electrically non-conducting, volatile, or gaseous fire extinguishant that does not leave a residue upon evaporation." Halon is a compressed gas that has been liquefied and is stored until it is released. When released, it works by chemically disrupting combustion. It makes it impossible for the ingredients of a fire to interact, thus effectively cutting off the flames.

Why Halon?
The benefits of using a Halon fire suppression system are unmatched. Halon can be used on almost any type of fire. While water, foam or other fire suppression techniques can be used in many situations, they are not always appropriate. Since Halon is residue-free, it is the perfect solution in many fire situations. With other types of fire suppression agents, you may not only experience fire damage, but also have damage from the agent in use.

Best Places for Use
Halon is extremely effective in situations where assets need protected from water damage. This could be anywhere where there is electrical equipment, computers, paper material and many other situations. Not only does Halon not produce water damage, but it also doesn't leave any residue. This will protect your assets in a way water can't.
