Acoustic Valve

Data Centers and server rooms are continuously improving their efficiencies to store and process more data. Improvements in computing hardware have led to an increase in Hard Disk Drive (HDD) sensitivity to sound. Inert gas fire suppression systems, normally used to protect this type of equipment, can produce sound levels that may have adverse effects on noise sensitive equipment. The LPG Acoustic Nozzle, designed for inert gas fire suppression systems, decreases the acoustic footprint during a discharge.

The LPG Acoustic Nozzle directs agent into the hazard area and reduces the sound level compared with standard nozzles. Flow calculations are used to specify the nozzle orifice size for the correct quantity and distribution of agent.

Matrix Design

LPG iFlow fire suppression system also unique and innovative way for positioning its banks of cylinders,where cylinders in rows and columns join cylinders with hoses.

This matrix design bring numbers of benefits such as:

• Reduction of manifolds required, making maintenance easier.
• Allow unique hose model that allows more flexible materials.
• Uses a distinctive bracket that reduces the amount of bottles required.
• Make matrix distribution system possible that easily adapt to different architectural needs. This opens up possibilities when it comes to space design.

At atmospheric pressures carbon dioxide is a colourless, odourless and non – conductive gas capable of penetrating quickly and efficiently the area to be protected. its density is approximately 50% greater than the density of air. tXA, is stored in high-pressure cylinders as liquefied gas. Although the use of coa as extinguishing agent declined with the introduction of halons, it is still widely used for firm protection, especially since Montreal Protocol was introduced [where bases were established to ban the use of Halon extinguisher].

How It Works

Extinguishes fires by physical means according to two main mechanisms. The first one is by decreasing the oxygen level inside the enclosure from 21% to a level below 15%. Mast fires are unable to maintain combustion at such low levels. The second mechanism is by means of cooling and heat absorption.

When dealing with the protection of occupied areas, consideration shall be given to the fact that if inhaled, even in low concentrations, it may lead to asphyxia. Under required safety precautions tJth, has been effectively applied for over 50 years to protect areas such as transformer rooms, archives, electrical hazards, record stores and computer rooms. in some countries regulations ban automatic control of m, systems for the protection of occupied areas.
CO2 is the only gaseous agent where the design rules specifically provide guidance on the protection
