Carbon dioxide is the most commonly used "inert" gas extinguishing agent, followed by nitrogen (Friedman 1992) (...) Carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems are useful in protecting against fire hazards when an inert, electrically nonconductive, three-dimensional gas is essential or desirable and where clean up from the agent must be minimal (...)
