Michael,

 

At Penn, these cabinets and VMBs have UV/IR sensors and are internally sprinkled.  This was mandated by our insurance underwriters.  It may open a can of worms, but I suggest inquiring with them; their requirements tend to supersede all else.

Hello All, 

 

We are installing 2 new cabinets in our cleanroom for toxic gasses. One will house Hbr & BCl3, the other Cl2 & N2 (purge). We have very limited experience dealing with these gasses and I am wondering if anyone can offer and advice with regards to best methods/practice for fire suppression in each of the cabinets.


Thanks in advance,
