I've used CO2 and Dry Chem. also used high-speed deluge (14 ms reaction from UV 
detection to discharge) on material handling ovens where you've got product 
moving through the oven.   It all just depends on the application.  It really 
depends on the product and how it reacts to different suppression elements.  
Some stuff you just don't put water on.

Now this makes more sense to me. I think Craig's CO2 (although I usually hate 
the evoking of the term CO2 I doubt if you'll have any air breathers in the 
area of protection) idea is sound, or perhaps open deluge with the same 
detection or a Protectowire type product.
