Suppression Systems
Changing airport firefighting foam suppression systems
If aqueous film-forming foam is not good for the environment or our health, why is it still in use?
Combining HVAC, fire suppression piping
Modern, energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems can stress a project budget with their additional energy-efficiency requirements. Combining HVAC water distribution with a fire suppression piping system can result in first-cost savings, which can improve system life cycle costs.
Critical factors when designing fire suppression systems
Learn the best questions to ask before starting a fire protection design project.
Selecting the correct clean agent suppression system
Clean agent fire suppression systems are used to protect facilities with high value per volume. They work on a total flooding concept, causing quick extinguishment of a detected fire, limiting damage to the protected space and its contents.
