The ANSUL Inert Gas Acoustic Nozzle is designed for use with inert gas fire suppression systems to protect sensitive environments such as data centers and server rooms. It helps reduce noise levels during system discharge, minimizing the risk of damage to sound-sensitive equipment like hard disk drives while effectively distributing the fire suppression agent.
The ANSUL® Inert Gas Acoustic Nozzle is engineered to improve fire suppression performance in environments containing noise-sensitive electronic equipment, such as data centers, server rooms, and other critical IT infrastructure. Modern computing hardware, particularly hard disk drives (HDDs), has become increasingly sensitive to sound generated during fire suppression system discharges. The acoustic nozzle is designed to reduce the acoustic footprint during agent discharge, helping protect sensitive equipment while maintaining effective fire suppression coverage.

The nozzle directs the suppression agent into the hazard area while lowering sound levels compared to standard nozzles. It is designed for use with INERGEN® 150/200 bar and iFLOW 300 bar fire suppression systems and features a 360-degree discharge pattern to ensure even distribution of the fire suppression agent. Flow calculations are used to determine the correct orifice size for accurate agent distribution and system performance.

Constructed with an aluminum body and internal sound-damping materials, including fiberglass and wire wool, the acoustic nozzle helps reduce sound pressure levels that could otherwise affect HDDs and other sensitive equipment. The nozzle is available in 1½-inch and ¾-inch NPT sizes, making it suitable for different system configurations. Proper nozzle placement, room acoustics optimization, and sound-absorbing materials can further reduce sound pressure levels during system discharge.
