The Komtes Group supplies the fire extinguishing systems for the Historical Library of the University of Salamanca, a World Heritage City. 

The Komtes Group has been in charge of supplying the fire extinguishing systems for the Historical Library of the University of Salamanca, an academic center with more than eight hundred years of history after the Estudio Salmantino was created in the early thirteenth century by the will of King Alfonso IX. 

It is the research center of the University of Salamanca in charge of guarding, processing and disseminating the historical bibliographic heritage of the institution. This valuable room houses priceless assets, such as codices, manuscripts, press, Salamancan periodicals, etc.  

The protection is based on a gas extinguishing system, a clean agent perfectly suited to protect this library. The system consists of a battery of cylinders, directional valves, pipes and diffusers, the latter two of which are located in the same room and have been placed in a concealed manner so that they do not have a visual impact and do not alter the appearance of the space.
