Re: 130 db can knock you out and disorient you

Intergen is not Halon. Nor is it like a CO2 system that smothers a fire (and any unfortunate occupants).

ISTR that the older versions of the Intergen system generated byproducts when reacting to the fire. Said byproducts aren't supposed to be great for you, but then again, neither is smoke from burning electronics.

Depending on the size of the room (and how well sealed it is) I'd also wonder about the air pressure changes...
