Cool Gas Generator
Fire protection for business critical cabinets with space technology
Page last modified
April 11 2024
EXXFIRE™ has developed a fire suppression system based on a worldwide patented gas storage technology called “Cool Gas Generator”. This EXXFIRE technology can protect business critical systems inside enclosures against fire without damaging the hardware. A Cool Gas Generator is like a small solid propellant rocket. This robust technology originated from the European Space Agency program (ESA) which was developed by TNO. The solid propellant is stored as a chemical block inside the generator completely maintenance free. An initiator starts the decomposition of the propellant in order to release the required Nitrogen gas at ambient temperature without any residue. There is no danger of damaging the equipment by the fire suppressant and there are no cleaning costs afterwards.
