Hypoxic Air Fire Preventive System
Product introduction
A unique system that fully replaces conventional fixed fire extinguishing equipment and prevents fire with a guarantee of zero fire risk in the protected area of ??the data center. The solution is designed so that a fire cannot occur in the data center at all, thanks to the so-called hypoxic air (with reduced oxygen level). The hypoxic technology permanently maintains the oxygen level in the protected area of the data center below 16% (the usual level is 21%) for the entire life of the building. The 16% threshold is critical for the combustion process. A lower oxygen level makes it impossible for a fire to occur, but is still completely safe for human presence, as confirmed by the State Health Institute of the Czech Republic. The environment corresponds approximately to an altitude of 2,700 meters.How does the system work? Ambient air (with a 21% oxygen content) is sucked into air pipes with a compressor and travels to a hypoxic generator which removes impurities and makes the air hypoxic (with an oxygen level below 16%). The hypoxic air is pumped into the data center room to prevent fire. Low-oxygen air escapes from the room, ensuring flow and ventilation of the space. The monitoring and control unit automatically monitors the room with oxygen sensors and ensures a stable and healthy environment with reduced oxygen level.

Calculated for air exchange (leakage) max. 50% of the total volume in 24 hours Calculated for “free volume” - e.g., if 50% of the space is filled with furniture, it means a decrease in energy consumption by 50%. ***For a larger volume of the protected space, two, three or more systems are to be used. |
