Kidde Argonite Suppression Systems The Kidde® Argonite fire suppression system uses a blend of inert gases that offers effective fire protection with zero environmental impact.
Argonite is a simple blend of 50% Argon gas and 50% Nitrogen gas with a density similar to that of air. Both Argon and Nitrogen are clean, naturally occurring gases that are readily available throughout the world. The system has no direct global warming or ozone depletion potential. Argonite requires minimal post-fire cleanup and will not decompose or produce any by-products when exposed to a flame from a fire situation.The Kidde Argonite system is an engineered system for total flooding of an enclosed space. It extinguishes a fire by means of reducing the oxygen content within a room to the point at which fire can no longer burn, but without compromising the safety of individuals present.Argonite is safe and effective for use on many applications. It is well suited for leaky enclosures such as flight simulators, substations, and control rooms and for application with multiple hazards.
Kidde Nitrogen Suppression Systems Nitrogen is an environmentally acceptable, people friendly inert gas fire suppression agent for vital facilities with a wide range of hazards.
Nitrogen fire suppression systems utilize pure Nitrogen, which is naturally occurring gas present in the atmosphere. It is safe for use in occupied spaces and poses no threat to the environment. Nitrogen operates as a fire suppressant by reducing the oxygen content within a room to a point at which the fire will extinguish, without compromising the safety of individuals present in the room. Nitrogen will not decompose or produce any by-products when exposed to a flame.
