Clean Agent Suppression Systems
[IDG-04-002]
Clean agent suppression systems are used in fire protection to extinguish a fire with the use of gaseous agents. The gaseous agents found in clean agent fire suppression systems are designed to suffocate a fire, or disrupt the chemical reaction. The phenomenon of fire, or combustion, is a chemical reaction of the rapid oxidation of a fuel when reacting with oxygen. Carbon Dioxide, or CO2, is gaseous and used in fire suppression, however the agent is addressed in its own NFPA standard. Clean agent requirements are found in NFPA 2001, Standard for Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems.
