Special Hazard systems are designed to protect high-value or unique environments where traditional fire protection methods may not be sufficient. It is tailored to address the unique fire risks and challenges associated with these specialized areas. Some examples of special hazard fire protection systems that AFS offers are: Clean Agent, Water Mist, Foam Suppression, and Hybrid(water and inert gas) systems.
In the technology sector, you can't afford downtime of your server equipment. Taking water out of the equation eliminates damage to sensitive equipment to keep you up and running even if a potential fire occurs.
Special hazard systems are recommended in situations protecting unreplaceable works of art and artifacts. In a museum water can be just as destructive to the pieces as fires can be. Special hazard systems are an alternative that eliminates the risk of damaging valuable assets.
Aircraft hangers carry a massive fire risk due to the fuel load in the planes. Utilizing foam to suppress a flammable liquid fire by forming a blanket over the fuel surface, and thus preventing oxygen from reaching the fire is the safest and most effective application.
QIM is a multi-story office space with on-premises computing and storage configurations. AFS protected this server room with a NOVEC 1230 clean agent system. As seen in the pictures we are preforming a room integrity fan test to ensure the effectiveness of the system during a fire event. It is crucial that you do perform a fan test to verify that the clean agent fire suppression system can maintain the required concentration level to effectively suppress a fire within the protected space.

The maintenance team has the experience and the equipment to set up and test the effectiveness and operational readiness of your system. After commissioning, NFPA 750 requires regular scheduled checks and maintenance on special hazard systems. Nitrogen systems known as Clean Agent Systems are required by the standard to be checked twice a year. There are several types of Clean Agent Systems, both with different requirements for testing. AFS can test all systems and ensure that they are fully operational and ready for use.
