Electronics-Safe Fire Protection

Clean Agent Fire Extinguishers for Sensitive Environments

Protect your servers, data centers, and sensitive electronics without residue damage. CO2, Halotron, and FE-36 extinguishers for Los Angeles businesses.

Zero Residue

Why Clean Agent Extinguishers?

Standard ABC dry chemical extinguishers leave a corrosive powder residue that can permanently damage electronics, computers, and sensitive equipment. Clean agent extinguishers use gases that evaporate completely, leaving nothing behind.

Data Centers & Server Rooms

Protect critical IT infrastructure without damaging servers or causing data loss.

Electrical Control Rooms

Safe for electrical fires without risk of shock or residue on sensitive equipment.

Telecommunications Facilities

Protect network operations centers and switching equipment.

Museums & Archives

Protect irreplaceable artifacts and documents from fire and suppression damage.

ABC Powder Damages Equipment

Discharging a dry chemical extinguisher in a server room can cause more damage than the fire itself. The corrosive powder infiltrates electronics, causing permanent shorts and failures. Cleanup costs often exceed equipment replacement.

Non-conductive - safe for electrical fires

No residue - equipment stays clean

No thermal shock to electronics

Fast extinguishing action

Environmentally acceptable alternatives

Annual inspection and certification

Clean Agent Types We Supply & Service

Different environments require different solutions. We help you select the right clean agent for your specific needs.

CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)

High-pressure gas that displaces oxygen and cools. Leaves zero residue. Best for electrical fires and Class B flammables.

Advantages

No residue

Non-conductive

Effective on electrical

Considerations

Requires larger units

Can cause frostbite

Oxygen displacement risk in enclosed spaces

Halotron I

Halon replacement with similar properties. Vaporizes completely, leaving no residue. Safe for occupied spaces.

Advantages

Clean discharge

Safe for electronics

Ozone-safe replacement

Considerations

Higher cost than CO2

Limited discharge time

FE-36 (HFC-236fa)

Clean agent suitable for occupied areas. Excellent for data centers, museums, and sensitive environments.

Advantages

Safe for occupied spaces

No thermal shock

EPA approved

Considerations

Premium pricing

GWP considerations

CO2 Extinguishers - The Industry Standard

Carbon dioxide extinguishers remain the most cost-effective solution for electrical and computer equipment protection. They're available in multiple sizes from 5 lb to 100 lb wheeled units.

5 lb - Small server closets and workstations

10 lb - Standard data center coverage

15 lb - Large electrical rooms

20 lb - Industrial control areas

50-100 lb wheeled - Major data facilities

CO2 Safety & Maintenance

CO2 extinguishers require specific handling and maintenance due to their high-pressure storage. Our licensed technicians ensure safe operation.

5-Year Hydrostatic Testing

CO2 cylinders require DOT hydrostatic testing every 5 years due to their 850+ PSI operating pressure.

Annual Inspection

Weight verification to ensure proper CO2 charge. Cylinders lose gas over time and must be recharged when below weight.

Discharge Horn Warning

CO2 discharge creates extreme cold. Never touch the horn during or immediately after use. Training recommended.

Complete Protection

Need Total Room Protection?

While portable clean agent extinguishers provide first-response capability, server rooms and data centers often require total flooding systems for comprehensive protection. We install and service:

FM-200 Systems

Fast-acting total flood suppression for enclosed spaces.

Novec 1230

Environmentally-friendly clean agent with zero ODP.

CO2 Total Flood

High-pressure CO2 systems for unoccupied spaces.

Stay Compliant. Stay Safe.
