Data centers are rapidly becoming one of the most important rooms housed under the rooves of modern businesses. For this reason, you should certainly look for ways to protect your data center from every looming threat. Fire definitely poses one of the greatest threats to any data center. By choosing the right fire suppression system for your data center, you can better protect your assets.
First of all, a dry chemical suppression system will likely be your best bet when it comes to protecting valuable computer parts. Water is well-known for its ability to easily cause extensive damage to valuable computer components. A dry chemical suppression system uses chemical reactions to prevent fires from rapidly spreading throughout data centers without getting any components wet.
Today’s fire suppression systems are advanced pieces of technology though. That’s why you will also want to look for a dry chemical fire suppression system that uses an aerosol spray to put out fires. An aerosol spray is used by these systems to fill a room with a chemical that will prevent any fires from igniting for up to an hour. That way you can prevent the reignition of a fire without creating a mess in the process.
In fact, if you choose to install an aerosol-based system, the cleanup is an easy process indeed. Just vent the room and dust up the place to finish cleaning. That way the only damage that will be caused to your data center will be caused by the flames themselves rather than the fire suppression system. Today’s systems are so advanced that they can even be deployed before your building’s sprinkler system goes off to further protect your valuable assets.
