A clean agent is a type of fire extinguishing agent that is electrically non-conductive, volatile or gaseous, and doesn't leave a residue upon evaporation.
The different types of gaseous fire protection systems and how they work.
Clean agent systems are regulated by NFPA 2001: Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems and are defined as an “electrically nonconducting, volatile or gaseous fire...
NFPA 2001 defines clean agents as electrically non-conductive, volatile, or gaseous fire extinguishing agents that do not leave a residue upon evaporation. Clean agent fire suppression systems help extinguish fires in their incipient stages (when they have just started).
A clean agent fire suppression system uses either a chemical or inert gas to suppress a fire at the inception stage before it can grow and is incredibly effective in extinguishing Class A, B, and C fires.
Clean agents are fire extinguishing materials that are electrically non-conducting, volatile, or gaseous, and that don’t leave residue upon evaporation. Below, we’ll explore one of the most common clean agents: FM-200.
A clean agent, also known as a gaseous fire suppression agent, is a type of fire suppressant that is designed to extinguish fires by displacing oxygen or removing heat and leaving no residue behind, causing no damage to the protected area.
There are several clean agents that are similar to halon agents in that they are nonconductive, noncorrosive, and evaporate after use, leaving no residue.
Clean agents are effective in suppressing and in many cases extinguishing fires through one of three actions: 1) reduction of oxygen, 2) removal of heat, 3) interruption of the chemical reaction.
NFPA defines “clean agent” as an electrically non conductive, volatile, or gaseous fire extinguishing agent that doesn't leave a residue upon evaporation.
