Fire protections for Archives: ISOLCELL’s N2 ORS Method Eliminates Fire Risk Completely
ISOLCELL’s N2 Oxygen Reduction System (ORS) offers a perfect solution for protecting archives of all kinds by completely eliminating the risk of fire. This innovative fire prevention technology ensures that sensitive documents, irreplaceable artefacts, valuable paintings, and precious materials that contribute to our global heritage remain absolutely safe from fire hazards.
A notable example of this system in action is a large hospital in Italy, which chose the ADOX N2 Oxygen Reduction System to safeguard and preserve critical health records and medical documents. The archive spans 1,000 m², with 25 kilometers of shelf space dedicated to storing these invaluable records.
By adopting N2 Oxygen Reduction Systems, facilities can guarantee the long-term protection of invaluable archives and documents from the threat of fire.
Oxygen Reduction Fire Prevention System (ORS) for IT & Data Centers: Advanced Fire Safety Solutions
A fire in a data center can have catastrophic consequences, including website outages, email disruptions for thousands of users, inactive e-commerce sites, and halted public services. These issues can lead to significant economic damage due to the extended downtime. Traditional gas extinguishing systems, commonly used in data centers, offer passive protection—activating only once a fire has started. However, they come with significant risks, such as high-pressure gas release, potential re-ignition after gas discharge, and the dangers posed by leaky premises. Any of these risks can result in data loss, client loss, and ultimately, business failure.
According to the article Clean Agents Fire Protection for Computer Rooms by Mark L. Robin, the economic impact of a network outage can exceed one million dollars per hour. With the rise of cloud-based services and the critical importance of data center reliability, it is now more vital than ever to fully eliminate fire risks.
Fortunately, technological advancements have led to the development of the N2 Oxygen Reduction System®, a cutting-edge solution that provides permanent fire protection for data centers. This fire prevention technology proactively reduces oxygen levels, completely eliminating the risk of fire before it can start, unlike traditional systems that react after a fire has already occurred.
By adopting the N2 Oxygen Reduction System®, data center operators can ensure the long-term safety and uninterrupted operation of their critical infrastructure.
FIRE PROTECTION FOR AUTOMATED HIGH-BAY WAREHOUSES
Oxygen reduction fire prevention systems are the ultimate solution for safeguarding fully or semi-automated warehouses. Whether it’s an ambient temperature warehouse or a cold storage facility, this innovative fire prevention technology completely eliminates the risk of fire. By doing so, it also prevents the extensive consequential damages that fires can cause, ensuring the safety of goods, equipment, and operations.
In today’s competitive landscape, many companies choose to centralize production and storage in a single facility for economic efficiency. This trend makes implementing reliable fire prevention solutions essential for protecting valuable inventory and maintaining business continuity. The N2 Oxygen Reduction System® provides an absolute and proactive approach to fire safety, setting a new benchmark in fire risk management.
For advanced atmospheric modification for fire safety, oxygen reduction systems are the most effective and economical choice. Safeguard your warehouse operations with this proven technology.
Reference project example:
A striking example of effective fire protection is an automated warehouse located near Parma, Italy. This facility has a volume of 161,000 m³, spans 4,600 m², and can hold up to 27,000 pallets of plastic table utensils. Given the high calorific value of plastic, traditional fire-fighting technologies, such as sprinklers, were deemed inadequate. Instead, the company opted for an innovative oxygen reduction fire prevention system as a proactive solution.
This cutting-edge fire prevention technology focuses on prevention rather than response. Despite the more than 500 storage and retrieval movements per hour, the system maintains a reduced-oxygen atmosphere, which is consistently monitored to ensure that the risk of fire is reliably eliminated. By reducing oxygen levels, the system effectively prevents fires before they can ignite, making it the ideal solution for facilities dealing with high-risk materials like plastic.
Cold storage facilities require uncompromising fire safety measures, but traditional fire extinguishing methods can pose significant risks. Water and foam may damage sensitive goods, and reactive systems only activate after a fire has started, potentially leading to devastating losses.
Oxygen Reduction Fire Prevention: a smarter solution
Oxygen reduction systems offer a proactive approach, preventing fires before they ignite by maintaining a low-oxygen environment that hinders combustion.
Why choose active prevention over extinguishing?
Whether you’re storing food, pharmaceuticals, or other temperature-sensitive products, oxygen reduction systems deliver unmatched safety and peace of mind. They ensure operational continuity by preventing fire-related interruptions and protecting valuable inventory.
