Understanding Clean Agent Enclosures
Clean agent fire suppression systems rely on airtight enclosures to contain the extinguishing agent long enough to suppress a fire effectively. Proper enclosure design involves:
Controlling peak pressure events when agents discharge
Maintaining hold times to prevent premature leakage
Ensuring compliance with multiple international standards such as:
ISO (International Organization for Standardization)
AS (Australian Standards)
EN (European Norms)
FIA (Fire Industry Association)
VdS (German certification body)

Testing for Peak Pressures and Hold Times
Key performance metrics for clean agent enclosures include:
Peak pressure testing to validate the structure’s ability to withstand the agent discharge
Hold time measurement to confirm the enclosure maintains adequate pressure for the required duration, preventing agent loss
Use of Retrotec’s instruments ensures reliable, repeatable results consistent with relevant standards.
