Siemens’ new natural extinguishing agents protect business continuity in critical areas
Sinorix NXN
Environmentally-friendly and sustainable portfolio
The new Sinorix NXN extinguishing agents are
chemically inert and do not create harmful reactions or byproducts on contact
with fire. Even in case of an incident,
the activated extinguishing agents do not leave any residue behind for clean up
or disposal and therefore ensure a rapid resumption of business operations. Inert
agents have poor electrical conductivity properties making them ideal in any
application where protection of mission critical infrastructure is important.
Argon, nitrogen or carbon dioxide offer excellent extinguishing properties for
fire Classes A
(solids), B (flammable liquids) and C
(flammable gases), whereas argon is optimally
suited for fire Class D (metal fires) and
nitrogen for Class E (electrical fires).
The new Sinorix NXN natural extinguishing agents feature zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and they are not subject to regulatory restrictions or phaseout. In addition, the extinguishing products follow EN standards and guidelines, and are backed by appropriate certifications, including VdS and CNPP to ensure sustainability of the extinguishing solution.
New design concept
The new ADVtechnology (Advanced Double Actuation Valve) by
Siemens saves costs and increases efficiency through all lifecycle phases of a
fire extinguishing system. The product portfolio has been simplified by
introducing multi-use components that are the same for all agent types.
Furthermore, only one type of pneumatic actuator is now used for all pressure
ranges (8-360 bar) and only one type of cylinder valve is used for both
electrical and pneumatic actuation. This makes the design process more flexible
and efficient (for example, calculations for new configurations or new agents
are made more quickly). With the help of the ADVtechnology, cylinder exchange
as well as time needed for installation has been drastically improved. Now
users can install and maintain an extinguishing system more easily and much
faster.
Building lifecycle support
In
addition to local representation, Siemens operates a Competence Center in
Vienna and a testing facility in Switzerland, where new and special
extinguishing solutions are tested and improved. These facilities provide
specialized expertise for new and highly challenging applications.
Additionally, Siemens supports the full building lifecycle with the latest
digital tools including specification texts, BIM data, as well as online
product selection, configuration, ordering and online calculation tools. Access
to Siemens expertise, design know-how and experience avoids over-engineering
and minimizes project costs while increasing fire safety.
The new
Sinorix NXN extinguishing systems are developed for easy integration in
complete fire safety solutions, including fire detection and evacuation to
increase safety and reduce risks. This integration also optimizes facility
management by enabling cloud-based, digital services that substantially reduce
operational and maintenance costs.
