N2 Towers VS. Other Fire Suppression Systems
Effectiveness
N2
- Extinguishes explosive fires in less than 150 milliseconds
- Extinguishes fires in less than a minute
- Quickly fills entire room, even around corners and behind obstructions
- No stratification
- Ultrahigh heat capacity allows it to retain its gas-like flow and filling behavior
Reliability
N2
- Simple, fool-proof design
- Benefits from the extreme levels of reliability that are standard for the gas generator devices due to their propensity for use in critical life-safety applications such as automotive airbags
- Reduced risk of piping damage due to manmade or natural disasters or mishaps, with each compartment being independently protected
Personal Safety
N2
- Releases harmless, inert, N2 gas
- Maintains oxygen levels that are safe for occupied spaces
- Safe for occupants in poorer health or with less mobility
- Quietest inert gas fire suppression system in the world
Content Protection
N2
- No residue
- No cleanup
- No water damage
- No caustic acid by-product
- Hard-drive safe
Installation
N2
- Compact and space efficient
- No pressurized gas or the associated "bottle farms"
- No piping or nozzles
- Easy for retrofitting
- High design margin for flexibility with changes in the room's free volume
Environmental Legistlation
N2
- No ozone depletion or global warming
- Complies with all existing or future national or international environmental legislation
Cost and Maintenance
N2
- Low up-front unit cost
- Negligible design and installation cost
- Minimum 15 year service-free shelf life
- Rechargeable on site
- Leak proof
