An Oxygen Reduction System (ORS) is a fire prevention technology that lowers the oxygen concentration in a protected area to below the level required for combustion. By reducing the oxygen levels, the system creates an environment where fires cannot start or spread. ORS is commonly used in high-value areas such as data centers, archives, and storage facilities to prevent fire damage and enhance safety.
Prevents fires without damaging sensitive electronic equipment.
Museums and Archives: Protects irreplaceable artifacts and documents from fire and water damage.
Telecommunications Facilities: Safeguarding critical infrastructure, flammable materials, reducing the risk of fire spreading.
Benefits include effective suppression of fires in sensitive areas and minimal damage to equipment, but they require careful planning and usage.
It should be inspected and maintained regularly, typically every six months, to ensure proper functionality and safety.
