Sammutuskaasusäiliöiden

Sammutuskaasusäiliöiden, known in English as fire suppression gas cylinders, are crucial components of various fire suppression systems. These cylinders are designed to store and release extinguishing gases under pressure to combat fires. They are typically constructed from robust materials like steel to withstand high internal pressures and environmental conditions. The selection of a suitable cylinder depends on the type of extinguishing agent it will hold, the required volume, and the operating pressure of the system. Common extinguishing agents stored in these cylinders include inert gases like nitrogen, argon, and their mixtures (e.g., Inergen, Argotec), as well as chemical agents like HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) and FKs (fluoroketones).

The design and manufacturing of sammutuskaasusäiliöiden adhere to strict international standards and regulations to ensure safety and reliability. These standards often specify material properties, welding procedures, hydrostatic testing requirements, and valve specifications. Each cylinder is equipped with a valve assembly that controls the release of the extinguishing gas. This valve typically includes a pressure gauge, a manual release mechanism, and often an electric actuator for remote activation. When a fire is detected, the system triggers the valve to open, allowing the high-pressure gas to rapidly discharge into the protected area, reducing oxygen concentration or interrupting the chemical chain reaction of the fire, thereby extinguishing it. Regular inspection and maintenance of these cylinders are essential to guarantee their operational readiness in the event of a fire emergency.
