How It Works
How N2 Gen Generates Clean Nitrogen
Discharge lasts between 5 and 14 seconds, depending on the model, reducing oxygen concentration to below 15% but above 10%, a range that suppresses fire while remaining safe for short-term human exposure*.
The nitrogen is transparent, residue-free, and electrically non-conductive. It causes no visibility loss or thermal stress, making it safe for sensitive equipment. Post-discharge cleaning is not required,
apart from addressing fire-related damage
Performance and Safety
Each generator is single-use and designed for tight enclosures that can maintain the gas concentration for at least 10 minutes. Units can be installed directly inside the risk area or externally, using piping or flexible hoses to reach the enclosure. The stainless-steel outer casing protects the device against mechanical damage, provides thermal insulation, supports mounting, and shields the electrical connections. Perforations in the casing allow the gas to disperse uniformly.
N2 Gen is approved for Class A, B, and C fires. It is listed under the U.S. EPA SNAP program for use in occupied spaces*. It should not be applied to fires involving reactive metals, oxidizers, or self-oxygenating materials, unless specifically tested. Safe distances must be observed: temperatures around personnel must remain below 75 °C, and below 200 °C near combustible materials.
The system may also be used in classified hazardous areas, subject to compliance with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and any additional local regulations.
