No Fire Eater has only focus on Fire Eater Inergen system, which was invented by Fire Eater. We do not produce or distribute chemical systems, water-based system or any other gas extinguishing systems or any equipment such as hoses and handheld extinguishers.
Fire Eaters standard delivery time (ship date) for components are from 3 to 6 weeks from order, special items as well as special approvals may take longer. For special requirement contact your Fire Eater contact person.
It depends on local rules and regulations where in the world the area that needs protection is and what rules it must follow in the specific country. In Denmark an Inergen system that is connected to ABA shall have service at least once a year. Fire Eater recommends as minimum one yearly inspection.
It is hard to say and depends on the requirements of the area that needs protection and the central equipment. We can quickly come up with an estimate price, please contact your contact person at Fire Eater.
No, it is safe for people and animals to be in a room where an Inergen system is activated. It has been assessed by Rigshospitalet in Denmark and the Danish Working Environment Authority.
In general, the cylinders do not need their own room. However, to save installation cost they are often placed in the protected room (if there is space.)
They can also be placed in a room nearby. Remember to mark such a room according to local regulation.
If the cylinders are placed far from the protected room, it will mean more pipe work.
The control panel if local we would recommend is placed in the room or just outside the entrance door.
An Inergen system is an automatic fire extinguishing system that can extinguish a fire in a closed room such as technical rooms, server rooms, data centers, archives, high voltage rooms, warehousing and logistics centers, warehouses for dangerous goods, wind turbines, and in buildings such as museums, prisons, castles, hotels, hospitals etc. The typical system consists of the following: A control panel with associated detectors and or aspiration systems which monitor the room for fire/smoke. Inergen cylinders which contain the 3 naturally occurring gases nitrogen (52%), argon (40%) and CO2 (8%), which extinguish the fire by reducing the oxygen content in the room. Alarm tabs and pressure relief, electrical, pneumatic, or manual activation of the Inergen system.
Yes, for example fires in metals such as magnesium and titanium. These metals can burn without oxygen and therefore they cannot be extinguished with Inergen or other oxygen-reducing systems.
Yes, by using “Selector Valves” you can protect several rooms. If there are 2 (or more) rooms that need to be protected, we design the system to be able to switch off in the largest of the rooms. With the help of “Selector Valves”, Inergen is triggered in the room where a fire has been detected.
With a “Selector Valve” system, however, you must be aware that you can only put out a fire in a room.
(Ring mig lige herom…..)
When the Inergen is released into the room, the corresponding amount of air must get out of the room to avoid overpressure. If no pressure is relieved, walls may crack, or doors may open.
You can use the Fire Eaters IMT (Inergen Management Tool) which contains hydraulic flow calculations. When you have done the measuring and inspection physical or based on drawings, you have the necessary information so that the IMT program can calculate how much Inergen (number of cylinders) is needed. The IMT also calculate the number of nozzles, pipe lengths and dimensions, pressure relief area etc.
In Denmark, the systems are designed to release 80% of the Inergen within 90 seconds, according to EU: EN 14520. In some countries, there are other rules. The IMT program also calculates how many smoke detectors to use. The program “requires” information about the geometry of the room, desired oxygen concentration and thus the number of cylinders and then performs a hydraulic calculation of the pipe system so that we get 80% of Inergen released within 90 seconds.
Yes, the Sigma control panel typically has two potential-free relays which are programmed to close when the Inergen system goes on fire or if there is a fault in the system. Via these two relays, you can transmit the alarm for your own use, or to the emergency services. Once the Inergen has extinguished the fire, the cause of the fire should be investigated and removed if possible. If this is not done, the fire may recur when the oxygen concentration begins to rise again.
In connection with installation and service the vital components influencing the functioning of the system are sealed. However, the seal does not mean that the system works as unauthorized people may have broken the seal. We therefore recommend that you draw up service contract on the extinguishing system with an authorized electrician.
Unauthorized people who are not trained in working with automatic fire extinguishing systems should not work with or service this type of system. If this happens, Fire Eater cannot guarantee the function of the system.
The cylinders are the system owner´s property which means that you for example may paint the cylinders with exception of the green parts. However, view of and access to the cylinders must always be unobstructed so that the cylinders can be inspected, and the cylinders replaced when needed.
No, the cannot. All Fire Eater pressure cylinders are equipped with a safety seal which relieves the pressure in the cylinders if the are exposed to intense heat. If you should have any other questions, please contact our sales department.
When a fire is detected, the system’s control panel releases Inergen® into the protected room via the nozzles. The pressure from the extinguishing agent and the construction of the nozzles create turbulence in the room which increases the efficiency of the extinguishing system. When the system discharges, the temperature will typically fall 3-4 degrees. During discharge there will be full visibility in the room which makes evacuation of people possible.
Yes, even though Inergen® is safe for people, it does not mean that you should stay in the burning room during the extinguishing. A fire can develop various hazardous vapours. You must always leave the room and close the doors when a fire starts.
When the extinguishing system has been released, you can enter the room after a short while when no more extinguishing agent is released from the nozzles and check if the fire has been extinguished completely. The doors must be closed the entire time. If not the function of the system will deteriorate.
If the extinguishing system has extinguished the fire completely and the system does not transmit a signal to the fire brigade automatically, you do not have to contact the fire brigade However the person in charge of service on the extinguishing system must be contacted so that the reason for the activation of the system can be found and the system can be reestablished.
Inergen and other inert gasses are characterised by not being harmful to electronics and other precision mechanics. This is because inert gasses are not condensing or electrically charging. A chemical fission does not take place in connection with the activation, and the material is not harmed. There are several ways of finding out whether the system has been activated. Typically alarm panels will light up and make a buzzing sound while the control panel indicates fire and/or fault. The manometers on top of the cylinders will also show zero bar pressure.
Fire Eater’s service telephone is open around the clock. Cylinder refilling can be initiated within 24 hours so that a production stop can be kept at a minimum.
Inergen® can be acquired in most of the world via authorized companies trained in working with automatic room extinguishing systems – see under filling stations at this partner site. Inergen® is used for marine and land applications.
Yes, all work with pressure is dangerous. However, if the proper precautions are taken and the pressure cylinders are handled correctly it is not dangerous. All Fire Eater technicians are trained and authorized to install automatic fire extinguishing systems.
The fact that the cylinders have a pressure of 300 bar does not mean that 300 bar will be released into the room. The pressure is reduced in the manifold whereby a pressure of 75 bars is created at the nozzles for a short period of time right when the extinguishing agent is released.
