Inert Gas Fire Suppression Systems
Inert gas fire suppression systems such as Carbon Dioxide and Argonite are most commonly found in Industrial applications and unlike the clean agents, do not necessarily need protection boundaries in order to be effective. The Inert gases suppress fire through Oxygen depletion, thus are not likely candidates for most occupied areas.
As one of the oldest fire suppression agents, CO2 has a tried and true track record when it comes to fire suppression. Many manufacturers of CO2 systems have been in the business for over 70 years and continue to view CO2 as a proven fire suppression agent.
Iowa Fire Equipment Company has been involved in the installation of CO2 fire suppression systems for over 30 years and has worked with both high pressure systems and low pressure systems. Kidde CO2 and Chemetron CO2 systems are offered for installation by Iowa Fire Equipment Company.
Local application and total flooding inert gas fire suppression systems are available to protect your specific hazard. Our sales and design staff will help you determine which type of system is best suited for installation in order to protect your specific hazard.
After the installation, maintenance of these systems is required to assure proper performance when called upon. Iowa Fire Equipment Company employs installation, inspection, and maintenance personnel with over 25 years of experience working with inert gas fire suppression systems.
Each of our offices has the capability to perform CO2 recharge and hydrostatic test services.
