Rethinking Fire Safety in the Cold Chain: Why Hypoxic Prevention Beats Suppression
Gas At Site’s feature in Cold Link Africa explains hypoxic fire prevention for cold stores using Isolcell N₂ ORS®. Instead of waiting for flames, the system keeps oxygen at a precisely controlled low setpoint so ignition can’t take hold.
