With Argotec CleanLab now we've the solution for laboratories.
Laboratories present fire protection systems with special and particularly demanding requirements: even if a fire does break out the strictly regulated pressure relationships must be maintained, since they are designed to protect the exterior surroundings and the environment; and of course all the expensive, sensitive installations have to be protected from damage. Not a simple task, which is why up till now efficient fire protection usually stopped at the laboratory door.
With 'Argotec CleanLab', the new type of gas extinguishing system, Minimax can now provide optimum safety. This solution fulfils all requirements placed on the fire detection system without having to make any compromises.
The company has added the extinguishing gases nitrogen and argon to its Argotec extinguishing system, special components which allow it to be used in rooms with a specified negative pressure. When the system is activated, either manually or by means of a fire detector, a fire detection and extinguishing control unit takes over control. One particular feature here: differential pressure measurement is used to control the room ventilation so that the preset room pressure is maintained. The new Argotec CleanLab system is able to build up and maintain a concentration of gas sufficient to put out a fire, even with the ventilation still running. This allows the fire to be extinguished efficiently but without destroying the pressure difference or leaving residues of extinguishing agent to damage the room. The effectiveness of this solution is clear: In sensitive laboratories work in progress is much less affected by the fire incident -work can begin again after only a brief period of time. The low down-times, rapid approval procedures and the solid protection of high-tech investments all speak out in favour of Argotec CleanLab.
