Description
Kidde Fire Systems Natura Inert Gas System (Natura IGS) using IG-55 (herein referred to as Agent) are fixed fire extinguishing systems that use an inert, gaseous mixture of 50% Nitrogen and 50% Argon known as Argonite, UN number of 1956. Argon and Nitrogen are colorless, odorless, nonflammable, and nontoxic as a gas. Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in the Earth’s atmosphere. Argon is the third most abundant gas.
The 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 IGS 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. A 140-liter cylinder filled with agent at a pressure of 300 bar at a filling temperature of 15°C is available outside the North American market. The cylinders are provided with the body painted red and green shoulder, with agency markings where applicable.
