Clean Agent Fire Suppression
Argonite is a type of clean agent fire suppressant that has replaced the older halons that were used for fire suppressants and they not have the same ozone depleting properties the halons had. Argonite is not toxic nor is a greenhouse gas. It is in fact comprised of two gases that are in the atmosphere so the depletion rate is zero. It is comprised of 50% argon and 50% nitrogen. It is non-corrosive, electrically non-conductive, odorless, and does not leave residue behind when dispersed. Since there is no residue left behind, the cleanup is expedited and the time it will take to become operational is much quicker.
Fire Protection for Highly Sensitive Areas
Argonite as a fire suppressant is most commonly used in data centers, computer centers, and other enclosed rooms that contain highly sensitive components or materials. When the system is triggered, it fills the room rapidly with Argonite which will deplete the oxygen in the room to low levels which will effectively remove the combustibility of an active fire. The low levels of oxygen left are sustainable to humans over a short period of time giving them a duration of time, usually under a minute, to clear out of a room. If a larger room, a delay can be built into the system to give them enough time to clear the room safely as well before the system will begin dispersing the fire suppressant.
