With Inergen you get effective fire protection of your archive. Should an accident occur, there is no need to worry about consequential damage to the archive’s objects and effects.

How Inergen works in archives

An inergen system responds quickly and completely automatically to any fire that may occur in the archive. As soon as a fire is registered, for example in an electrical installation, Inergen is released via the nozzles. The oxygen level in the room is reduced enough to put out the fire. At the same time, it is safe for people to remain in the premises.

    The Inergen® fire suppression system is an automated solution designed to swiftly and effectively extinguish fires. It employs an aspiration system, which incorporates highly sensitive fire detection technology capable of identifying fires in their initial stages. Once a fire is detected, Inergen® is promptly released into the room. Reducing the oxygen level just enough to stop combustion, without posing any risk of harm to individuals present.
