2 Which is why the spacerequired for its storage will depend on itspressure and IG-55 System is designed for a pressure of300 bar, which enables us to achieve greatspace propertiesApplication systemTotal floodingStorage is a cylinder or cylinders rack of the required extinguishingagent in order to, by discharging into the space, achieve theextinguishing concentration required for this kind of fire. Thecylinder or cylinders rack is connected to a network of distributionpipes and to a series of discharge and gasification diffusers thatdistribute the extinguishing agent inside the space to Class A: Solid fuel fires, such as wood, plastic, electric current is cut after A+: Solid fuel fires with an electrical risk.

4 Thanks to thestratification of the gases (due to their density,argon rises and nitrogen falls) protection isachieved throughout the space, regardless ofhow high the ceiling its discharge, there is excellent visibilityand, since it leaves no residue, there are nodestructive effects to the equipment, whichwill continue functioning normally and, ofcourse, there will be nothing to clean 15004-9: Extinguishing systems using gaseous agents: physical properties and design systems using 15004-1: Extinguishing systems using gaseous agents: design, installation and 2001: Fire extinguishing systems using clean BAR PRESSURISED CYLINDERSIG-55 LOAD DENSITYCLASS A0,73 KgCLASS A+0,85 KgCLASS B0,91 KgCYLINDER CAPACITYKgm380 L32,122,77120 L48,234,15140 L56,239,84 SAFETY MARGINNELNOAELLELLOAEL12%43%Concentratio n of oxygen designed for Inert gases 12%from 10 to 12% from 8 to 10%under 8%Occupation of normal areasPERMITTEDPERMITTED NOT PERMITTED NOT PERMITTEDE xposure time limit5 minutes3 minutes 30 seconds 0 Valve with regulated output pressureTable of exposure times in accordance with EN 15004-1 and nfpa 2001.
