Fire prevention through extraction of oxygen
In order for a fire to start, heat and oxygen from the atmosphere are
needed. If the oxygen is reduced, the flammability levels also decline.
Below a certain level of oxygen concentration, fire can simply no longer
burn. This is the principle of OxyReduct.
"OxyReduct " = "Oxygen reduction"
OxyReduct, the innovative system of active fire prevention, facilitates
a controlled reduction of oxygen levels in enclosed areas. By introducing
nitrogen the oxygen content can be reduced and held at a precise level.
In such an atmosphere, outbreak of fire can be excluded.
The protected area remains accessible
Rooms protected by OxyReduct® remain accessible to personnel, so that
there is no reduction in functionality of the space. This claim is supported
by numerous experts.
Production of nitrogen on-site
The nitrogen required to reduce the oxygen concentration can be generated
in a cost-effective manner on-site using an air processing system.
Advantages of using nitrogen to reduce oxygen content:
- in combination with air it forms the most tolerant mixture to breathe
- is present at 78% of normal atmospheric air
- is simple to generate on-site
- is non-toxic
- distributes quickly and evenly
The advantages of an active fire prevention system are clear:
- certainty of avoiding outbreak and spread of fire
- permanent and preventative fire protection to secure business processes
and valuable goods
- avoidance of further damage from smoke, spread of fire or from extinguishing
agents
- problem-free adaptability to changes in fire risk
- wide-ranging design freedom
- cost savings at the construction stage of fire detection measures
- personnel retain access to protected areas

Fire Detection - Concept
Early fire detection minimises damage since measures can be taken much earlier. The protection of people, irreplaceable assets and operational continuity is guaranteed. A fire must be reliably detected in its initial phase so that immediate and efficient measures can be taken.
A fire is always accompanied by smoke, heat, and light (the fire characteristics). Smoke already appears in relatively large quantities at an early stage of a fire and can reliably be detected by optical detectors. That is why smoke is the perfect fire characteristic for early fire detection
Fire Detection - Operation
Quicker and more efficient than point-type detectors - WAGNER relies on air sampling systems for smoke detection. Via a pipe system the air sampling smoke detection system actively takes air samples from the risk and passes them to an optical chamber.
Detection without false alarms
In contrast to point-type detectors which can be limited in their environmental applications air sampling smoke detection systems can possess a higher sensitivity - leading to quick and reliable fire detection!
Particularly suitable for difficult environments
In difficult environments such as high ceilings, extreme temperatures, dirt and humidity or high aesthetic requirements an air sampling smoke detection system can produce reliable fire detection.
Environmental influences eliminated
Environmental conditions that can produce unwanted alarms can be eliminated (using technology, professional engineering, sophisticated pipe accessories). Optimal results can be reached by using a sensitivity and system suitable for the specific application.
Advantages over point-type detectors:
- Sensitivity
- Ceiling Height
- High Air Speeds
- Dust, Dirt, Humidity
- Extreme Temperature
- Access
- Aesthetics
Fire Detection - Application
Safe smoke detection despite forced air flow and high air speed
No air contamination within the production area due to active air sampling of the room's outgoing air
Maintenance and service personnel do not need to enter the clean room
Each new customer enquiry is individually assessed and resolved, whereby for every customer a totally unique solution is developed.
