Clean Gas Fire Extinguishers

Clean gas fire extinguishers (also known as clean agent fire extinguishers) are the perfect choice for areas containing sensitive equipment. This could be a server or computer room, a data storage area, aviation and telecoms industries, or even in the world of antiques and art. Spraying out a gas which leaves no residue and causes absolutely no damage, it’s the perfect choice for reducing collateral damage when tackling a fire.

Generally suitable for Class A, B, C and electrical fires (although commonly only fire rated for flammable liquids and live electrics), clean agent fire extinguishers are a versatile choice. Commonly available as an automatic fire extinguisher which activates by itself when there’s a fire, it’s now also available as a traditional portable fire extinguisher.

Why Choose A Clean Gas Fire Extinguisher?

These fire extinguishers fill the gap which was left in the market when Halon fire extinguishers were banned in the UK. While their predecessors were harmful to the environment, these clean agent fire extinguishers are the world’s most advance extinguisher, causing zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) to make these one of the most eco-friendly choices available.

Their main benefit is that they are damage free. While water will flood, foam is messy to clean up and powder causes corrosion as well as making an almighty mess, a clean agent does none of that. That is why it is perfect for sensitive equipment as it will cause no additional damage, meaning quick action may mean that even after a fire, the item is salvageable, including data.

Clean-gas fire extinguishers are used to extinguish fires in a variety of settings, including:

  • Computer rooms and data centers: Clean-gas fire extinguishers are ideal for use in these areas because they are non-conductive and leave no residue, which can damage sensitive electronic equipment.
  • Industrial facilities: Clean-gas fire extinguishers are often used in industrial facilities to extinguish fires involving flammable liquids and gases.
  • Commercial and residential buildings: Clean-gas fire extinguishers can also be used in commercial and residential buildings to extinguish fires in kitchens, garages, and other areas where flammable materials are present.

How Do Clean Agent Fire Extinguishers Work?

Clean agent fire extinguisher acts to extinguish a fire by smothering and cooling the flames. Operating in a similar method to a CO2 fire extinguisher, these contain the suppressant as a liquid under pressure within the canister, which then turns into gas on discharge with the air. This makes them suitable for spraying through a grill or mesh, meaning you can tackle a fire on the safe side of a closed door, prevent a rush of oxygen which would exacerbate the situation.

Since Halon and FE36 gases which have previously been used in clean agent fire extinguishers have been banned due to their negative effect on the ozone layer. Now, our clean agent fire extinguishers use FK-5-1-12 which is a coolant liquid. This is discharged as a liquid but very quickly evaporates. During this process, it cools down the source of the fire which extinguishes the flames but leaves no residue behind, meaning damage is kept to a minimum.

Portable or Automatic Clean Gas Fire Extinguishers?

Our clean agent fire extinguishers are available as hand-operated fire extinguishers and automatic-release extinguishers. Whichever you need will depend on the location you're protecting. If you're wanting to protect a server cupboard or engine room where people are generally not present, then having an automatic fire extinguisher is the best solution as it will allow the contents to be released without human intervention. This ensures the fire is not made worse by opening a door, but also makes sure there is an immediate response time - even outside of working hours - and reduces the risk to individuals.

However, portable fire extinguishers should also be available. Should someone discover a fire before an automatic is triggered, this will allow someone to act fast and potentially save your expensive equipment. Plus, if they found themselves trapped by flames, it enables an individual to suppress the flames so they can safely evacuate.
