Michael,
At Penn, these cabinets and VMBs have UV/IR sensors and are internally sprinkled. This was mandated by our insurance underwriters. It may open a can of worms, but I suggest inquiring with them; their requirements tend to supersede all else.

Hello All,
We are installing 2 new cabinets in our cleanroom for toxic gasses. One will house Hbr & BCl3, the other Cl2 & N2 (purge). We have very limited experience dealing with these gasses and I am wondering if anyone can offer and advice with regards to best methods/practice for fire suppression in each of the cabinets.
Thanks in advance,
