What is GEMTEX GEM55?
GEMTEX GEM55 is a fire extinguishing system inert gas type IG-55, in the form of a gas mixture 50% Nitrogen (Nâ‚‚) and 50% Argon (Ar) which effectively extinguishes the fire with lowering oxygen concentration in the protection area so that the burning does not continue. This system is designed to be safe for use in inhabited area and give clean protection without residue, ideal for rooms with sensitive equipment.
Product gemtex gem55 developed by Gemtex Sdn. Bhd., a leading manufacturer of internationally certified fire suppression systems. In Indonesia, Excellent is official sole distributor of GEMTEX which provides technical support, installation and after-sales service.
GEMTEX GEM55 System Working Principle
System gemtex gem55 use IG-55, namely a combination of inert gases that work through a mechanism total flooding:
- Fire Detection:Smoke or heat sensors detect the presence of a fire.
- System Activation:The system will release IG-55 from the high-pressure tube.
- Oxygen Decreased:The released inert gas reduces the oxygen level in the protection chamber below the combustion threshold, but remains safe for humans.
- Fire Extinguishing:The fire goes out because it no longer gets enough oxygen to support combustion.
This gas mixture is evenly distributed throughout an area, including complex layouts, server rooms, or large-scale industrial facilities. Because it uses the same gases as atmospheric components, the IG-55 system is environmentally safe and non-toxic.
Main Components of the GEMTEX GEM55 System
1. Inert Gas Agent IG-55
IG-55 is a mixture of gases 50% Nitrogen and 50% Argon Which:
- Colorless and odorless
- Leaves no residue
- Not electrically conductive
- Safe for the environment and humans
2. Cylinder Assembly
High-quality cylinders store gas under pressure (200 bar / 300 bar at 15°C). All cylinders are manufactured to standards. ISO 9809 and has been tested TPED for security and performance.
3. Valve Assembly
Differential pressure valves with various actuator options (manual, pneumatic, solenoid) ensure precise and safe gas release.
4. Actuator System
- Manual Actuator: Equipped with a safety pin to prevent accidental release.
- Pneumatic Actuator: Allows activation by pneumatic pressure.
- Pneumatic Manual Actuator: Combination of mechanical and pneumatic.
5. Discharge Nozzle
Nozzles are available in 180° and 360° variations, designed for optimal gas distribution according to room configuration.
Advantages of GEMTEX GEM55
System gemtex gem55 offers a variety of superior benefits, including:
- Effective for class A, B, and C fires
- Environmentally friendly agent with Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
- Non-conductive and non-corrosive, safe for sensitive electronic equipment
- Leaves no residue, thus minimizing post-activation cleanup.
- Safe to use in populated areas
Due to the above advantages, GEM55 is an ideal choice for environments with high protection requirements for critical assets.
GEMTEX GEM55 Application
System gemtex gem55 suitable for application in various critical and commercial facilities, including:
- Data center and server room
- Control and telecommunications room
- Power plants and industrial facilities
- Offshore oil & gas facilities
- Ships and maritime installations
- Museums, archives and data storage centers
Its even gas distribution capability makes it effective in spaces with complex layouts or large volumes.
