Gaseous fire suppression: what it is and how it works
Gaseous fire suppression puts out a fire with gas that fills an enclosed room within seconds and stops combustion. Water, foam and powder never reach equipment or documents, which is why gas protects server rooms, archives, electrical rooms and bank vaults. The system activates on its own on a signal from fire detectors and needs no one on site.
How does a gaseous fire suppression system activate?
- DetectionDetectors pick up smoke or a temperature rise and send a signal to the control panel.
- WarningThe siren and signs switch on and ventilation stops. Gas release waits until people have left the room.
- Gas releaseThe module opens and gas fills the room through the nozzles. With halocarbon agents the system releases at least 95% of the design mass within 10 seconds.
- Extinguishing and recoveryThe gas holds the extinguishing concentration and the flame goes out. After ventilation the modules are refilled and returned to the system.
What types of gaseous fire suppression systems are there?
An automatic gaseous fire suppression system is either modular or centralised. In a modular system the cylinders stand in or next to the protected room, and each room has its own agent supply. A centralised station stores the agent in a separate room and delivers it through pipes to several protected zones.
By extinguishing method, systems are divided into total flooding and local application. Total flooding fills the whole room with gas; local application protects a single cabinet or area. Every system includes fire detectors, a control panel, modules with discharge valves, nozzles and warning signs.
Which gases are used for extinguishing?
| Gas | How it extinguishes | Extinguishing concentration |
|---|---|---|
| HFC-227ea | Inhibits the chemical combustion reaction. Suitable for server rooms, electrical rooms and archives | 7.2% by volume |
| HFC-125 | Inhibits the combustion reaction. Mostly used in technical rooms | 9.8% by volume |
| FK-5-1-12 | Removes heat from the combustion zone. Chosen for rooms with valuable equipment | 5.4% by volume |
Standard extinguishing concentration for n-heptane. Halocarbons: SP RK 2.02-102-2022, Appendix D. FK-5-1-12 is not covered by the Kazakhstan code; the value follows Russian SP 485.1311500.2020 as amended by Amendment No. 2 (EMERCOM of Russia order No. 373 of 26.05.2026). The gas mass is calculated separately for each room.
Which gas to choose for your facilityHow to choose a gaseous fire suppression system?
- Who is in the roomIf people are present, HFC-227ea or FK-5-1-12 is chosen: their extinguishing concentration is below the safety threshold. HFC-125 is kept for technical rooms without people.
- Room sizeA small server room or electrical room is protected with ceiling-mounted modules without pipes. A large room or data centre needs floor-standing modules with pipework.
- Room readinessGas works only in an enclosed space: unnecessary openings and holes for cables and pipes are sealed, the door has a closer, and ventilation shuts down on a signal.
- Calculation and designThe agent mass, number of modules and pressure relief opening are calculated in the design according to SP RK 2.02-102-2022. You can estimate the mass in advance with the agent calculator.

Where must gas not be used?
Gas is not used on materials that smoulder inside their volume (sawdust, cotton, fibres), metal powders, hydrides or substances that burn without air. This is an explicit ban under clause 9.1.22 of SN RK 2.02-02-2023.
What are the advantages and limitations of gaseous fire suppression?
- after extinguishing, equipment does not need drying and documents do not need restoring;
- gas reaches hard-to-access spaces: behind racks, under raised floors, above suspended ceilings;
- a FireStop module withstands at least 10 discharges and is refilled after each one.
In return, the room must hold the gas: no unnecessary openings, a door closer and ventilation that can be shut off. People leave before the gas is released, and a reserve stock is kept on site to restore the system.
Requirements for rooms protected by gaseous fire suppressionWhat are the most common mistakes?
| Mistake | Consequence | How to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| HFC-125 in a room where people are present | Its extinguishing concentration of 9.8% is above the 7.5% safety threshold | Choose HFC-227ea or FK-5-1-12 |
| No pressure relief opening | When gas is released, the pressure hits walls, doors and glazing | Calculate the opening in the design and install a pressure relief valve |
| Ventilation does not shut down in a fire | Gas escapes and the concentration is not held | Provide ventilation shutdown and dampers on the ducts |
| Holes for cables and pipes are not sealed and the door has no closer | Gas escapes faster than the calculation assumes | Seal the holes before installation and fit a door closer and seal |
| Installation does not match the design | Refusal of the fire service conclusion at acceptance | Agree any equipment substitution with the designer before acceptance |
| Cylinder inspection deadline missed | The module cannot be refilled and returned to service without inspection | Track the deadline in the passport: the first inspection of FireStop modules is due after 10 years |
Which standards apply in Kazakhstan?
System requirements are set by Section 9 of SN RK 2.02-02-2023 “Fire automation of buildings and structures”. Methods for calculating the gas mass and the pressure relief opening are given in SP RK 2.02-102-2022, and modules must be certified under TR EAEU 043/2017. Russian SP 485 and GOST R standards are not mandatory in Kazakhstan.
Gaseous fire suppression standards in KazakhstanFrequently asked questions about gaseous fire suppression
Is gaseous fire suppression dangerous for people?
Gas is released only after people have left the room. Under Kazakhstan standards the system first triggers the warning and holds a delay for evacuation, and automatic release is blocked while the door is open. The main danger in a fire comes from smoke and combustion products, so people return to the room after ventilation.
How much does gaseous fire suppression cost?
The cost depends on the room volume, the chosen gas, the number of modules and the pipework length. The exact price is calculated from the room plan: a FireStop engineer selects the modules and prepares a quotation. We design the system free of charge.
Is a design project required for gaseous fire suppression?
Yes, a system cannot be accepted without a project. Under clause 9.1.9 of SN RK 2.02-02-2023 the project calculates the gas mass, pipe diameters, nozzle type and number, discharge time and pressure relief opening area. The calculation needs the room plan and details of the raised floor and ceiling, ventilation and occupants.
How long does a gaseous fire suppression system last?
FireStop modules last at least 30 years. The first cylinder inspection is due after 10 years; between inspections the system is maintained to schedule and the modules are weighed every three years. Inspection and refilling are done by the manufacturer’s own plant in Almaty.
How does gaseous fire suppression differ from powder?
Gas leaves no residue: after ventilation, equipment and documents stay clean. Powder settles on equipment and inside electronics and has to be cleaned out after extinguishing. That is why gas is chosen where the equipment itself or the contents of the room are expensive.
