Exam 312-38 topic 1 question 272 discussion

The term used to describe the use of inert gases and chemical agents to extinguish a fire is "fire suppression". Fire suppression systems are designed to detect and extinguish fires in their early stages, before they can spread and cause significant damage. These systems can use a variety of methods to suppress fires, including the use of water, foam, and chemicals, as well as the use of inert gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon, which can displace oxygen and prevent the fire from spreading. Fire suppression systems are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings, such as data centers, laboratories, and manufacturing facilities, where the risk of fire is high and the potential damage from a fire can be significant.
