Data Centers and Telecommunications

Novec 1230 fluid is ideal for protecting facilities such as data processing centers, telecom switching rooms, airport control towers, clean rooms and other areas where continuity of operations is critical. This next generation clean agent is electrically non-conductive, and will not affect the operation of energized equipment, or leave a residue on sensitive electronics or mechanical devices. Low acute toxicity, combined with high extinguishing efficiency, gives Novec 1230 fluid a significant margin of safety for commercial marine, military and pleasure craft, including engine and pump rooms, communication and control centers. The liquid state of Novec 1230 fluid also allows for efficient use of space, requiring about the same number of cylinders as conventional halocarbon agents and many fewer cylinders than inert gas or CO2 systems. GRES has the expertise to take up Novec installations for safe guarding Clean Rooms and other critical areas of your facility.

FM 200

FM 200 (Heptafluoropropane) is a colourless, non toxic gas and a clean and effective Fire Suppression Agent. This gas is non flammable, non corrosive and compatible with other materials. It is an acceptable replacement for Halon 1301 and 1211 and is suitable for total flooding in the protected area. Ideal for data centers computer rooms, telecommunication facilities and museums. GRES has a good number of FM 200 installations for protecting the valuables of our clients. FM 200 installation with VESDA and Fire Detection and Alarm Systems render Total Protection for the facility by giving early alerts and timely flooding and suppression of fire.

Inergen

Inergen is an environmentally green three dimensional fire suppression agent replacing Halon 1301. Critical facilities such as data processing rooms, telecommunications switching facilities, process control rooms and others. This is a non-water based extinguishing agent with following features:

1. Is electrically nonconductive
2. Is safe for use in human occupied facilities
3. Would not damage sensitive electronic equipment
4. Has zero ozone depletion, zero global warming, and zero atmospheric lifetime

Inergen is a blend of three naturally occurring gases--Nitrogen, Argon, and Carbon Dioxide. It is stored in cylinders near the facility under protection.

An Inergen system lowers the oxygen content of the protected area to a point sufficient to sustain human life, but insufficient to support combustion. It's that simple. Because it's not a chemical agent, Inergen will not produce a heavy fog, the way other extinguishing agents do and hence the escape routes remain visible.

The Inergen discharges through specially designed nozzles. To minimize turbulence in the protected area Inergen nozzles are fitted with discharge deflectors.

GRES has the knowhow to Design and install Inergen Systems, Specific to the needs of the clients.
