Kidde Fire Protection provides integrated fire detection, control and suppression solutions for data centres, designed to identify emerging fire risks quickly while protecting sensitive equipment and maintaining operational continuity. Its technologies address critical areas including data halls, server rooms, raised-floor plenums, UPS and battery rooms, electrical rooms, switchgear, network operations centres and high-density server cabinets.
The company’s data centre portfolio combines aspirating smoke detection, intelligent detection and control, specialty sensors and clean-agent fire suppression. Clean-agent solutions include NATURA™, Fluoro-K™ and HFC-227ea systems, providing fast suppression without the residue or water damage associated with conventional approaches.
For increasingly complex power and battery environments, KiddeFenwal also provides REL-iON™ Mission Critical Monitoring. The technology is designed to identify abnormal environmental conditions and off-gas events associated with lithium-ion batteries at an early stage, supporting intervention before conditions escalate to the point where fire suppression is required.
KiddeFenwal’s data centre technologies can be integrated into a coordinated protection strategy encompassing early detection, alarms, control and suppression. IntelliSite™ provides real-time fire-panel visibility, while systems such as AEGIS™-PHX, ARIES®-SLX and ARIES®-MLX coordinate detection, notification and suppression activation. The company states that its technologies are installed in thousands of data centres worldwide.
