A gas suppression system is a type of fire protection system that is designed to detect and suppress fires before they can cause significant damage. It works by releasing a gas, such as Halon, FM-200, or Argonite, into the protected area. This gas works to reduce the oxygen levels in the area, which in turn extinguishes the fire. Gas suppression systems are typically used in areas where water-based fire suppression systems are not feasible, such as in data centers, laboratories, and other areas where water damage could be more costly than the fire itself. They are also used in areas where a fast response time is needed, such as in aircraft, ships, and submarines. Gas suppression systems are highly effective and can help to minimize the damage caused by fires.
