Kidde Fire Systems Natura Inert Gas System (Natura IGS) using IG541 (herein referred to as Agent) are fixed fire extinguishing systems that use an inert gaseous mixture of 52% Nitrogen, 40% Argon, and 8% Carbon Dioxide (IG541), UN number 1956. The specification for IG541 is a Nitrogen/Argon/Carbon Dioxide 52%/40%/8% ratio by volume.
Natura IGS uses steel cylinders for gas storage. Each cylinder is manufactured in accordance with ISO 9809-2 and certified to TPED and/or UN/DOT. Each cylinder is fitted with a pressure-operated Natura High-Pressure cylinder valve. The valve assembly is equipped with a safety burst disc in compliance with DOT and/or TPED requirements. Each cylinder valve has connection ports for the release unit or secondary gauge assembly, pilot line actuation hoses, and an agent discharge port.
Each cylinder and valve assembly is provided with an anti-recoil cap and a Safety Transport cap (Designed and tested to ISO 11117) as a safety feature designed to prevent uncontrolled, accidental discharge, and damage during transport.
Standard cylinders are available in volumes of 80 liters filled with agent at pressures of 200 bar or 300 bar at a filling temperature of 15°C and 140 liters filled with agent at pressures of 300 bar at a filling temperature of 15°C. The cylinders are provided with the body painted red and green shoulder, with agency markings where applicable.
