Is it bigger than a breadbox? Dry chem. Is typically reserved for protecting areas inside equipment. Not occupied or potentially occupied spaces.
For large areas there are so many problems with keeping the area tight to contain gas such as FM-200 that it would be virtually impossible. Also gas systems aren't going to suitable for every commodity. And lastly, if the Codes require sprinkler protection, most AHJ's aren't going to go along with a gas only system as primary. So the questions arises as to why do you want to use gas instead of sprinklers? Craig L.
