frequently asked questions
What is an Oxygen Reduction System (ORS)?
An Oxygen Reduction System (ORS) is a proactive fire suppression solution that reduces the oxygen level in a protected area to a point where combustion cannot occur while remaining safe for human occupancy. This is achieved by introducing controlled amounts of nitrogen into the environment.
How does an ORS differ from traditional fire suppression systems?
Traditional systems, such as sprinklers or gas-based extinguishers, activate only when a fire is detected. In contrast, an ORS works continuously to prevent a fire from starting by maintaining oxygen levels below the threshold needed for combustion.
Is it safe for people to work in an environment with reduced oxygen?
Yes, the oxygen level maintained by the ORS is carefully controlled to remain within safe limits for human health and productivity. The typical oxygen level is reduced from 21% (normal atmospheric level) to around 15-16%, which is sufficient for normal activity.
What are the benefits of an ORS for data centers?
- Continuous Fire Prevention: Reduces the risk of fire before it starts.
- Non-Invasive: Does not damage equipment or require cleanup, unlike water or foam systems.
- Operational Safety: Ensures uninterrupted functioning of data centers during operation.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduces the need for expensive fire damage repairs and downtime.
Can an ORS be customized for specific environments?
Yes, ORS solutions are highly customizable to meet the unique needs of various facilities, including data centers, server rooms, and archives.
What happens if the ORS malfunctions?
Modern ORS solutions are equipped with advanced monitoring and alarm systems. If the system malfunctions, it will alert personnel immediately and revert the environment to normal atmospheric conditions.
Does the ORS affect electronic equipment?
No, the ORS is designed to maintain optimal conditions for sensitive electronic equipment, making it an ideal solution for data centers and IT facilities.
How is the oxygen level monitored?
The ORS uses advanced sensors to continuously monitor oxygen levels in the protected area. The system automatically adjusts nitrogen levels to maintain a stable and safe environment.
What maintenance is required for an ORS?
Regular maintenance includes checking sensors, filters, and nitrogen generators to ensure proper functioning. Annual inspections are recommended to maintain system efficiency and compliance.
Is an ORS environmentally friendly?
Yes, the system uses nitrogen, a natural and abundant component of air, making it an eco-friendly solution compared to chemical-based fire suppression systems.
Can an ORS be integrated with other fire safety systems?
Yes, the ORS can be seamlessly integrated with existing fire detection and alarm systems for a comprehensive fire safety strategy.
How do I know if an ORS is right for my facility?
If your facility houses sensitive equipment, critical data, or valuable assets that cannot be exposed to water, foam, or chemical extinguishers, an ORS is an excellent choice. Contact our experts for a tailored consultation.
