[3dem] Sprinklers

[Xu, Chen]

Dear List,

We are constructing a new facility for a Titan-Krios. Our construction people want to install the usual sprinkler system in case of fire. We are concerned about potential water damage to the microscope if there was a false alarm. We are wondering whether we should consider an inert gas fire suppression system (e.g. argon). Does anyone have experience with such a system (and likely cost)?  Or does everyone just accept the risk of water damage?

Thanks,
