Fire Eater will be joining Innovatrix as Bronze Sponsors of our upcoming event, the 4th Constructing Next-Gen Data Centers MENAT: Revolutionizing Planning, Design, and Engineering, taking place April 28-29, 2026, in Dubai, UAE.
Fire Eater is an international company with Danish roots, founded in 1974 with subsidiaries in several countries. They invented IG541, also called Inergen® – a fire extinguishing system. Their systems are sold worldwide through a network of certified partners, distributors and dealers who are authorized in the installation and commissioning of Fire Eater Inergen systems. With Fire Eater, you get advice, full technical support, short delivery times, premium service, and access to one of the world’s safest fire protection solutions within inert gas.
Inergen is a unique and highly effective fire suppression method, suitable for a broad range of industries where minimizing business downtime is critical. If a fire occurs, the Inergen system is activated automatically and typically extinguishes the fire within 40 seconds and at the same time prevents re-ignition.
The fire is extinguished by Inergen lowering the oxygen level in the protected area from 20.9% to between 12-15%. The low oxygen level suffocates the fire before it develops. This means that you avoid consequential damage to the building, interior, warehouse, data and process equipment, etc. It is totally unique.
Inergen systems respond quickly and automatically to any fire that may occur in a data center. As soon as a fire is registered e.g. via an aspiration system, Inergen spreads quickly and efficiently into the room reducing the oxygen level and extinguishing the fire. Although the oxygen level is reduced, it is safe for people to remain in the room.
Why do data centers use Inergen for firefighting?
- 40 sec. is all it takes – Extinguishes the fire quickly – typically within 40 seconds.
- Zero re-ignition – No subsequent re-ignition. The fire is completely extinguished.
- Harmless – Harmless to humans and equipment.
- Zero damage – No secondary damage.
Which solutions should you choose for fire protection of a data center?
Fire Eater tailor the solution to your requirements, and we offer special fixed extingushing solutions for data centers, which specifically protect data on the servers. An analysis of the building or the size of the data room etc., can determine precisely which solution is best for you. All systems are dimensioned for the specific room or building to be protected.
A stand alone system – fire protection for single zones
A Stand Alone system—also known as a single system—is a self-contained Inergen fire suppression solution dedicated to protecting one specific zone or room. A Stand Alone system is ideal for safeguarding high-value areas such as server rooms, archives, control rooms, or technical installations. If your building has multiple zones that each need their own protection, you can simply install separate Stand Alone systems in each area.
SV22 – Fire protection for multiple zones with one cylinder battery.
The SV22 multi-zone system is a turnkey Inergen® fire protection solution that safeguards multiple zones using a single shared cylinder bank. The system is designed by sizing the cylinder bank to match the largest protected zone, ensuring sufficient Inergen® supply for any individual area. This makes it particularly well-suited for buildings with multiple fire-separated zones—such as large data centers or production facilities.
Inergen Basic – the most economic advantageous fire extinguishing solution for small sized spaces
Why? Because you can extinguish a fire in 40 seconds – without using water and chemicals – and without damage and expensive downtime. Since Inergen Basic is designed for small areas and rooms, a simple calculation shows that Inergen is the wise choice when you need to fire protect small enclosures.
