GEM 01

INERT GASES

GEM01TM Engineered Fire Suppression systems are designed for total flooding in accordance with NFPA 2001 “Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems”. It consist of inert gas extinguishing agent: IG-100 (100% Argon). Inert gas is pressurized and stored in seamless cylinders assembly which hold at 200bar/300 bar at 15°C (2900psi/4351psi at 59°F). GEM01TM systems are ideal for total flooding applications to suppress Class A, B and C hazards. The main extinguishing mechanism of inert gas is by lowering the oxygen content below the level that supports combustion.

GEM 01

GEMTEX'S GEM01TM agent has a slightly lower density than air, upon discharge it completely fills the enclosure and tends to remain in its middle and upper area. It is suitable for places where there is a risk of fire in any part of the enclosure, especially towards the top, false ceilings or where possible agents’ leakage atthe bottom. Likewise, it can achieve great heights and distances due to its highstorage pressure.

BENEFIT

Natural gas present in the atmosphere
Zero Ozone Depletion Potential
Electrically non-conductive
No greenhouse effect
No decomposition products

CYLINDER ASSEMBLY

The cylinder assembly comprises of a cylinder factory fitted with a valve, filled with IG-541 and pressurized to 200 Bar/300 Bar at 15°C (2900psi/4351psi at 59°F). Cylinders are available in 80L/140L. All these cylinders are manufactured in accordance with ISO-9809 and TPED tested.
