Fire suppression systems are used to extinguish or prevent the spread of fire in a building. Suppression systems use a combination of dry chemicals and/or wet agents to suppress equipment fires.
A fire suppression system is an engineered group of units that are built to extinguish fires through the application of a substance. Most commonly, a fire suppression system has built-in components that detect fires at the beginning stages through heat, smoke, and other warning signals.

When a fire suppression system is installed, cylinders containing the clean agent (such as FM-200 or CO2) are stored separate from the protected area. … When heat or smoke is detected, an electronic signal is sent to the control unit to send the clean agent gas through the cylinders and piping network.
The goal of fire suppression inspections is to assist building owners and managers in identifying potential problems or malfunctions before they cause any issues. Kinetix technicians perform visual inspections to identify adequate protection, system status, placement, recent discharges, and layout changes.
This system uses inert gases—such as nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide—to reduce the oxygen level around the fire and suppress it in the process. The concentration of gases used in Inergen systems is safe to use around people.
