Extinguishing systems with natural agents for maximum
fl exibility in system design and engineering.
Sinorix CDT
Innovation based on extinguishing with natural agents to
provide constant gas discharge that allows a reduction of
overpressure fl aps by up to 70%.
Systems with inert gases work principally by displacing the
oxygen, inerting the protected area, they thus extinguish the fi re.
Systems with chemical gases absorb heat from a fi re,
leaving it without energy, they thus extinguish the fi re.
Gas/water-combined systems basically combine the displacing
of oxygen with the positive cooling effect of water.
Water mist systems absorb heat from a fi re. Leaving it
without energy, they thus control or extinguish the fi re.
Sinorix 1230
System based on the environmentally friendly extinguishing
agent 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid with 42-bar
technology that enables highest extinguishing effi ciency
and fl exibility in engineering.
Sinorix 227
Extinguishing system based on the globally known HFC 227ea
with 42-bar technology for fast and reliable extinguishing.
Sinorix H

O Gas
Highly effi cient combination of nitrogen and water extin-
guishing technology with an additional positive cooling
effect – for secure extinguishing and reliable room protection.
Sinorix H

O Jet
Unique two-phase fl ow technology that generates fi ne water
droplets at low hydraulic pressure – for effi cient control of
open fi res as well as for effective object protection thanks to
accurate extinguishing.
Sinorix extinguishing systems from Siemens
Automated extinguishing systems are designed on the basis of the following principle: Every fi re needs three elements – oxygen, heat and a combustible. If only one of these elements is removed,
a fi re cannot spread and will inevitably go out.
Siemens offers Sinorix – a comprehensive range of automated extinguishing systems based on natural and chemical agents as well as gas/water-combined and water mist systems. They can all be
tailored to individual customer requirements.

Worth knowing when
planning extinguishing
systems
Applications /risks of fi re
Depending on the type of application, e.g. data center, archives,
turbines, etc., different risks of fi re occur. Such risks of fi re
can be open fi res, smoldering fi res, deep-seated fi res, etc. They
infl uence the choice of extinguishing system and agent.
Space requirements
In some cases, space plays a major role (e.g. due to space re-
strictions) when choosing the appropriate system and agent.
Chemical agents usually require less space than natural agents,
high-pressure systems may also infl uence the space require-
ments.
Overpressure fl aps
Overpressure fl aps can be quite complex to implement due
to structural conditions. Systems that provide constant gas
discharge or systems using chemical agents offer signifi cant
advantages.
Personnel safety implications
Some systems require special personnel safety measures. They
are necessary if the oxygen concentration drops below 10 vol-%
in the protected area at complete fl ooding or due to some
extinguishing agents, e.g. CO
₂
. These measures ensure that
the required evacuation time is met.
Approvals and regulations
Some national regulations and approval requirements can
in fl uence the choice of system and agent, e.g. the required
amount of agent can vary from regulation to regulation.
Furthermore, systems with specially approved components
usually offer higher reliability.
Code of practice
Differences in calculations can occur due to different code of
practices in the countries, e.g. false ceiling
– USA: A false ceiling is not incorporated in the protected area
– Europe: A false ceiling has to be incorporated in the pro-
tected area
When planning an extinguishing system for
an
object or a room (or several), there are some
basic aspects which are worthwhile to consider
as they
greatly infl uence the choice of the right
system
and agent. Some of these aspects are:

Answers for infrastructure.
Our world is undergoing changes that force us to think
in new ways: demographic change, urbanization, global
warming and resource shortages. Maximum efficiency
has top priority – and not only where energy is concerned.
In addition, we need to increase comfort for the well-being
of users. Also, our need for safety and security is constantly
growing. For our customers, success is defined by how
well they manage these challenges. Siemens has the
answers.
Protecting people and assets, business processes and continuity are core
aspects of fire safety. With XC10, Siemens offers a family of control panels
for comprehensive fire safety: The panel family combines both fire detection
and extinguishing control. After receiving a fire alarm from the connected
fire detectors, the combined XC10 panels trigger the extinguishing process.
XC10 panels are the ideal choice for protecting valuable objects, a single sector
(one room) or multi sectors (multiple rooms) with sophisticated requirements.
XC10 can be installed as an independent control panel or be integrated into a
larger fire safety system.

and extinguishing control

requirements with

Ensuring business continuity
People, assets and business processes
need to be optimally protected in case of
a fire incident. Fast fire detection, alarm-
ing and activation of an extinguishing
system thus are essential and can ensure
business continuity. XC10 – with a new
family of control panels – enables rapid,
safe and automated interventions. The
XC10 control panels immediately trigger
the extinguishing process after having
received a fire alarm from the connected
detectors.
Ideal choice for single- and
multi-sector applications
Whether independent or integrated, the
XC10 panel family can protect either a
single-sector or a multi-sector application.
Used for a single-sector application, XC10
can protect a room or an object, such as an
IT room or a turbine. It can also be
used
for multi-sector applications, for ex ample
large data centers or archives, etc. With
up to 16 flooding zones, XC10 is the ideal
choice for large applications with several
extinguishing sectors. Another advantage:
only one extinguishing cylinder battery is
needed to protect several sectors.
Easy combination of fire detection and
extinguishing systems
When it comes to fire safety, every second
counts. That’s why it’s important to have
a fast, reliable and comprehensive fire
safety system. With XC10, you receive
control panels that combine fire detection
and
extinguishing control. What’s more,
Siemens also provides all you need for
detection and extinguishing: Sinteso™
is our compre hensive fire safety system
including deception-free fire detectors,
easy-to-operate control panels and a wide
