Wichmann: Active fire prevention with VPSA technology
In sensitive areas such as archives, data centres or automated storage systems, conventional extinguishing systems often reach their limits. Reactive firefighting can not only cause operational downtime, data loss or insurance damage, but also harbours risks to personal safety due to the use of certain extinguishing media.
An N2ORS oxygen reduction system from Wichmann, on the other hand, takes a sustainable, preventative approach: it regulates the oxygen concentration in the room air so that a fire cannot start in the first place. To do this, nitrogen, which is extracted from the ambient air in an electromechanical adsorption process, is channelled into the relevant protected areas in a targeted manner without any environmental impact.
The system is characterised by its modular design: A total of 8 different VPSA generator sizes can be flexibly combined with each other and customised to the building to be protected. This philosophy enables versatile and customised solutions for every application scenario - whether in compact form for small server rooms or as a multi-stage system for extensive industrial halls.
Oxygen measurement is also highly efficient: the system's optical sensors are low-maintenance and do not need to be replaced regularly - which significantly reduces operating costs. Three sensors per device ensure high-precision measurements.
An IoT interface enables real-time monitoring: the system monitors itself, analyses all relevant data and forwards important information automatically - also in combination with data from other devices if required.
In collaboration with the company Isolcell, the global market leader for atmosphere control, Wichmann Brandschutzsysteme is offering the N2ORS systems exclusively in Germany and Switzerland, setting new standards in fire protection systems.
