Nozzles – Nozzles are designed to direct the

discharge of INERGEN agent using the

stored pressure from the cylinders. Nozzles

are available in either 360° or 180° discharge

patterns. The system design specifies the

nozzle and orifice size to be used for proper

flow rate and distribution pattern. The nozzle

selection depends on the hazard and loca-

tion to be protected.

Pressure Reducer – The pressure reducer

is required in the distribution piping to restrict

the flow of INERGEN agent, thus reducing

the agent pressure down stream of the

reducer. The pressure reducer contains a

stainless steel orifice plate which is drilled to

the specific size hole required based on the

hydraulic calculation. The orifice plate pro-

vides readily visible orifice identification. The

pressure reducer is available in nine sizes:

1/2 in., 3/4 in., 1 in., 1 1/4 in., 1 1/2 in., 2 in.,

2 1/2 in., 3 in., and 4 in. NPT.

Pipe and Fittings – System manifold piping

must be constructed to withstand a mini-

mum pressure of 3000 psi (206.9 bar).

Distribution piping downstream from the ori-

fice union must be constructed to withstand

the maximum downstream pressure as

determined by the flow calculation.

Limitations – The INERGEN system must

be designed and installed within the guide-

lines of the manufacturer’s design, installa-

tion, operation, inspection, recharge, and

maintenance manual. The ambient temper-

ature limitations are 32 °F to 130 °F (–0 °C

to 54 °C). All AUTOPULSE Control Systems

are designed for indoor applications and for

temperature ranges between 32 °F and

120 °F (0 °C and 49 °C).

FALSE DISCHARGE WARRANTY

Subject to the conditions set forth below,

Ansul will, as purchaser’s sole remedy,

replace INERGEN gas and pay reasonable

costs to recharge the INERGEN/Detection

products provided by Ansul. This warranty is

extended only to the original purchaser of the

INERGEN/Detection and Control System and

only for a period of one year from the date of

installation of the INERGEN/Detection and
