Data Center
Clean-agent fire suppression for data centers and critical electronic spaces
Overview
Since water suppression damages equipment in data centers, clean-agent gas suppression is preferred under BYKHY Article 98. A data center fire suppression system requires uninterrupted protection with FM200, NOVEC 1230 or inert gas (IG01) together with very-early-warning aspirating detection (VESDA). A-Pro delivers extinguishing-concentration calculation, cylinder-bank sizing, pipe design and commissioning under one roof, protecting the critical load within milliseconds.
How it works
Clean-Agent Suppression
Residue-free suppression without damaging equipment using FM200, NOVEC 1230 or IG01 under TS ISO 14520.
Very Early Warning (VESDA)
Aspirating smoke detection identifies fire in the invisible, pre-smell stage.
Extinguishing Concentration Calc
Agent quantity and discharge time calculated per space volume, tightness and NOAEL/LOAEL safety limits.
Water-Sensitive Spaces
Gas suppression replaces water in server, UPS, panel, transformer and cable-gallery rooms (Article 98).
Pressure-Relief Damper
A relief damper balances the pressure generated during discharge, protecting the room and equipment.
Uninterrupted Operation
Clean agents leave no residue; the system is quickly returned to service, preserving business continuity.

- Suppression control panel and release-circuit test
- Pressure-relief damper functionality check
- Nozzle and pipework blockage inspection
Frequently asked questions
Why gas suppression in a data center?+
Because water damages electronic equipment and interrupts business continuity, clean-agent gas (FM200, NOVEC 1230, IG01) is preferred under BYKHY Article 98. The agent leaves no residue.
Which agent is suitable — FM200, NOVEC or inert?+
Selected by space size, occupancy, ceiling height and sustainability goal: FM200 for rapid discharge, NOVEC 1230 for low GWP, IG01 for environmentally friendly inert protection.
Is the system safe in occupied rooms?+
Yes. The design stays within NOAEL safety limits and is supported by an evacuation/delay scenario. A-Pro uses neither halon nor aerosol.
Can it be retrofitted to my existing server room?+
Yes. Room tightness is assessed with a door-fan test; after any required sealing improvements the gas system is installed.
How soon can the system be re-armed after discharge?+
Because clean agents leave no residue, the system is quickly re-armed after the room is ventilated and cylinders are refilled or replaced.
