I wonder what people use in computer rooms for fire
extinguishing these days.
I'm experimenting with a product called Inergen. Similar idea to
others in the past: reduce the oxygen concentration to a level where
fire cannot be sustained yet people can still function. The Inergen
formulation is some combination of nitrogen, argon, and carbon
dioxide. Big sales point is no CFCs or ozone depletion (the reason
Halon was discontinued in the US).
We've installed the system for our main data center. Have not had
the mandatory dump for the fire department yet. Will soon.
