SWITCH CABINET WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a switch cabinet which is provided for the protection of servers and other highly sensitive computer devices or miscellaneous equipment. The inventive cabinet is configured as a protection cabinet (1) with an interior (2) isolated from the atmosphere. Said interior (2) is continuously provided with fresh air by a ventilator (14), whereby said fresh air is controlled by early detection fire sensors (16, 17) shortly before passing through the ventilator. The early detection fire sensors (16, 17) activate gas bottles (25, 26) filled with the noble gas argon when a fire breaks out, so that argon can be introduced into said interior (2) to extinguish the fire once the fresh air supply has been stopped, thereby ensuring early and fast extinguishing of the blaze.
