• Nitrogen is inert gas naturally present in the atmosphere, therefore its green-house effect is nil and its ozone layer depletion potential is zero.
• It is chemically inert, non-conductive, colourless, odourless and flavourless.
• Nitrogen suppression systems are based on the principle of reducing the oxygen concentration to a specific level.
• Additional nitrogen (lower oxygen) cannot be detected by the sense of smell.
• However, nitrogen is safe to breath only if it is mixed with an appropriate amount of oxygen.

Effects of Oxygen Deficiency on the Human Body
Atmospheric Oxygen Concentration (%) Possible Results
20.9 Normal
19.0 Some unnoticeable adverse physiological effects.
16.0 Increased pulse and breathing rate, impaired thinking and attention, reduced coordination.
14.0 Abnormal fatigue upon exertion, emotional upset, faulty coordination, poor judgment.
12.5 Very poor judgment and coordination, impaired respiration that may cause permanent heart damage, nausea, and vomiting.
<10 Inability to move, loss of consciousness, convulsions, Death.

NN100 System
• Fire suppression systems are also in the new stage where it must meet requirements given from the point of view of the global environmental protection and safety for human beings.
• It is an ideal fire extinguishing system which must give no adverse affect to the natural environment and have the affirmative capability of fire extinguishing.

Why is fire extinguished with Nitrogen?
Continuous combustion requires more than 15% of oxygenconcentration by volume. The NN100 system will suppress afire by reducing the oxygen concentration down to 12.5% withnitrogen gas discharged.
