New installation of gas fire-extinguishing equipment goes into high gear

摘要

The number of medium-sized seamless cylinders with a capacity of 30 to 150 l shipped in 2018 stayed on par with the previous year at 91,271. It is thought that the 2019 market has been driven by demand for gas fire-extinguishing equipment. With increased expansion of data processing quantities, installation of new data centers is accelerating with each location using 600 to 700 cylinders in large-scale nitrogen fire-extinguishing facilities. In the distribution sector, there are an increasing number of cases where warehouses are built as relay centers to help handle labor shortages. Since the occurrence of major fires at warehouses for major e-commerce companies, companies that have distribution centers are more conscious of the need to prevent fires. Basically this need is being met with sprinkler systems, but some companies are installing gas-based fire-extinguishing equipment for areas used to store electronic components, semiconductor-related parts, and other items sensitive to secondary damage from fire extinguishing agents.
