Gaseous fire suppression systems are designed to extinguish fires by reducing the oxygen concentration or interfering with the combustion process. These systems are commonly used in various applications where traditional water-based firefighting methods may not be suitable or could cause damage. Some application areas of gaseous fire suppression systems include:

Data Centers: Gaseous systems are commonly used in data centers to protect sensitive electronic equipment. Water-based systems can damage the equipment, and gaseous agents like FM-200 or inert gases are preferred.
Telecommunication Facilities: Similar to data centers, telecommunication facilities house critical equipment that may be sensitive to water damage. Gaseous fire suppression systems are used to protect this equipment.
Server Rooms: Small server rooms or closets that house networking equipment may use gaseous fire suppression to safeguard against fire without causing damage to the electronics.
Museums and Archives: Gaseous systems are employed in environments where valuable artifacts, documents, and artworks are stored. Water could irreversibly damage these items, making gaseous suppression systems a preferred choice.
Medical Facilities: In areas where medical equipment or critical supplies are stored, gaseous fire suppression systems can be used to prevent damage while extinguishing fires.
Laboratories: Laboratories often house sensitive and expensive equipment and materials that can be damaged by water. Gaseous systems are preferred in such environments.
Power Plants: Gaseous suppression systems are used in power plants to protect critical electrical and control systems. Water-based systems could cause electrical malfunctions and pose additional hazards.
Archive Rooms: Facilities that store important documents, records, and archives may use gaseous fire suppression systems to avoid water damage.
Control Rooms: Operations centers and control rooms in industries such as manufacturing, chemical processing, and oil and gas can benefit from gaseous fire suppression to protect control panels and critical systems.
Military Applications: Gaseous fire suppression systems are used in military applications to protect valuable equipment and assets, including communication systems and sensitive electronics.
Aircraft and Marine Applications: Gaseous systems are used in aircraft and marine environments where water-based systems may not be practical or effective.

It's important to note that the selection of a specific gaseous fire suppression system depends on factors such as the type of fire risk, the protected area, and environmental considerations. Additionally, the use of gaseous agents raises environmental and safety concerns, so proper planning, installation, and maintenance are crucial.
