Data loss and downtime are two of the most expensive issues that a company may face. A fire in a data center, transformer room, or other essential place can have massive consequences and cause significant downtime. As a result, these rooms are frequently equipped with automatic fire suppression systems.

Total flooding systems apply an extinguishing agent to a three-dimensional confined space in order to obtain an extinguishing agent concentration (volume percent of the agent in air) sufficient to put out the fire. These systems can be operated either automatically through detection and associated controls or manually through the use of a system activator.
