Clean Agent Fire Suppression Systems in Connecticut and New England
Clean agent suppression systems are designed for environments where traditional fire suppression methods, like water or foam, may cause significant damage to equipment or irreplaceable assets. These systems provide rapid fire suppression, leave no residue, and are safe for sensitive spaces like data centers, museums, and healthcare facilities. Below, we delve into the unique features of key clean agent solutions, including inert gas, Halon, HFC blends, and NOVEC.

Inert Gas Suppression Systems
Inert gas systems rely on natural gases like argon, nitrogen, or blends to suppress fires by reducing oxygen levels to below the combustion threshold. These systems are ideal for occupied spaces because they are non-toxic and safe for people when used properly.
- How It Works: Inert gases displace oxygen in the protected area, interrupting the fire’s ability to sustain combustion without the need for chemicals or residue-producing agents.
- Applications: Perfect for data centers, archives, and power generation facilities where equipment and assets must remain undamaged.
- Key Benefits:
- 100% natural and environmentally friendly.
- No residue left behind, simplifying cleanup.
- Safe for electronics and critical operations.
- Popular Options: Systems like IG-55 (argon and nitrogen blend) or IG-541 (nitrogen, argon, and CO2 blend).
Halon 1301 Fire Suppression
Halon 1301 was once a revolutionary clean agent for fire suppression, valued for its efficiency and safety for electronics. While no longer produced due to its environmental impact, existing systems remain in use, and we offer support for maintenance, retrofitting, and transition to modern alternatives.
- How It Works: Halon 1301 disrupts the chemical reaction in a fire, stopping combustion without affecting oxygen levels in the air.
- Applications: Legacy systems are often found in military, aviation, and industrial settings.
- Key Benefits:
- Fast-acting and highly effective against various types of fires.
- Minimal impact on equipment and electronics.
- Modern Replacements: Alternatives like FM-200, HFC-227ea, and NOVEC 1230 provide similar benefits with improved environmental profiles.
HFC Suppression Systems
Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) systems, such as FM-200, HFC-227ea, and ECARO, are versatile clean agent solutions that offer rapid fire suppression and protection for sensitive environments. These systems are widely used as replacements for Halon due to their safety and effectiveness.
- FM-200: This agent extinguishes fires within seconds by removing heat, making it ideal for fast-response applications. It is non-corrosive, safe for electronics, and suitable for occupied spaces.
- HFC-227ea: Known for its reliability, HFC-227ea is a chemically advanced agent that interrupts the fire combustion cycle. It’s frequently used in telecommunications and healthcare environments.
- ECARO: A cost-efficient HFC blend with a streamlined design for protecting large areas without requiring extensive storage space.
- Applications: Ideal for data centers, telecommunication hubs, and medical facilities.
- Key Benefits:
- Quick fire suppression with no damage to sensitive equipment.
- Designed for both occupied and unoccupied spaces.
- Compliant with safety standards and highly customizable.
NOVEC 1230 Fire Suppression
NOVEC 1230 is the clean agent of choice for those prioritizing sustainability and high performance. Developed as a replacement for Halon, it offers robust fire protection with a nearly negligible environmental footprint.
- How It Works: NOVEC 1230 extinguishes fires through heat absorption without reducing oxygen levels, ensuring safety for occupants in protected spaces.
- Applications: Frequently used in museums, data centers, and critical healthcare facilities where asset preservation and environmental concerns are paramount.
- Key Benefits:
- Zero ozone depletion potential and a short atmospheric lifespan.
- Leaves no residue, reducing cleanup time and effort.
- Safe for electronics, irreplaceable artifacts, and critical documents.
- Eco-Friendly Advantages: Recognized for its compliance with global environmental standards, making it a responsible choice for businesses.
