INERGEN 200-Bar agent is non-toxic to humans and will not damage valuable assets. Nonetheless, Torvac Solutions is advancing the use of the environmentally safe, state-of-the-art INERGEN fire suppression Systems. Suited for suppressing fires in hazards where an electrically non-conductive medium is essential or desirable. INERGEN 200-Bar is ideal where clean-up of other agents presents problems, or where the hazard is a workplace that requires a non-toxic agent. INERGEN 200-Bar fire suppression systems protect properties with sensitive or precious assets such as data centres, historical archives, libraries, museums, and galleries.
Protecting the precious assets of museums, libraries and galleries. ANSUL INERGEN 200-Bar.
INERGEN® agent is a mixture of three naturally occurring gases: nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide. Derived from gases naturally present in the Earth’s atmosphere, the INERGEN agent showcases zero ozone-depleting potential, doesn’t contribute to global warming, and avoids introducing unique chemical species with extended atmospheric lifetimes. Similarly, composed of atmospheric gases INERGEN circumvents the toxicity concerns linked with chemically derived Halon alternative agents and is entirely non-toxic to humans.
Composition and Materials
The basic system consists of extinguishing agent stored in high strength alloy steel containers. Various types of actuators, either manual or automatic, are available for release of the agent into the hazard area. A network of piping and nozzles distributes and discharges the agent into the hazard area. Each nozzle is drilled with a fixed orifice designed to deliver a uniform discharge to the protected area. In scenarios involving large hazards requiring three or more containers, the manufactures utilize a threaded or welded pipe manifold assembly. The container(s) is connected to the distribution piping or the manifold by means of a flexible discharge bend and check valve assembly. Additional equipment includes: Control panels, releasing devices, remote manual pull stations, corner pulleys. Also included are: door closures, pressure trips, bells and alarms, and pneumatic switches.
INERGEN 200-Bar Key Features
Container Assembly
The container assembly is of steel construction with a red standard finish. One size is available. Every container comes equipped with a pressure seat-type valve featuring a gauge. Constructed from forged brass, the valve securely attached to the container, ensuring a leak-tight seal. The valve also includes a safety pressure relief device which provides relief at 4000-4480 psi (276-309 bar) per CGA test method. Container charging pressure is 2900 psi at 70 °F (200 bar at 21 °C). Shipped Containers have a maintenance record card and an attached shipping cap. The cap secures to the threaded collar on the neck of each container, safeguarding the valve during transit. Additionally, stamped on the neck of each container container will be serial number and date of manufacture.
Electric Actuator
We achieve the electric actuation of an agent container by seamlessly integrating an electric actuator into an AUTOPULSE Control System. This versatile actuator is suitable for deployment in hazardous environments with an ambient temperature range spanning from 32 °F to 130 °F (0 °C to 54 °C). Additionally, in auxiliary or override applications, you have the option to install a manual lever actuator on top of the primary actuator.
Limitations of INERGEN 200-Bar
Designing and installing the INERGEN system requires strict adherence to the manufacturer’s guidelines detailed in the design, installation, operation, inspection, recharge, and maintenance manual. The ambient temperature limitations are 32 °F to 130 °F (0 °C to 54 °C). All AUTOPULSE Control Systems are designed for indoor applications and for temperature ranges between 32 °F and 120 °F (0 °C and 49 °C).

INERGEN agent is composed of naturally-occurring gases found in the air we breathe. Unlike other inert gas agents, INERGEN agent includes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, which enhances its ability to sustain life in a reduced oxygen atmosphere. INERGEN agent is nontoxic, does not produce corrosive decomposition products when exposed to fire, and is designed to protect valuable or sensitive assets that could be damaged by conventional agents. When discharged, it will not produce a fog, so escape routes will remain visible. And in the aftermath of an incident, the agent simply returns to the atmosphere in its natural state, causing no environmental impact.
