Environment-friendly FM200 fire suppression system without pollution for Archive
The main advantage of FM200 fire suppression, is the small amount of agent required to suppress a fire. This means fewer cylinders, therefore less wasted space for storage of FM200 cylinders.
FM200 systems reach extinguishing levels in 10 seconds or less, stopping ordinary combustible, electrical, and flammable liquid fires before they cause significant damage. FM200 extinguishes the fire quickly, which means less damage, lower repair costs. Like any other fire suppression system, FM200 systems are designed with an extra margin of safety for people. Refilling FM200 is simple and cost effective, therefore, it also means less downtime and disruption to your business.
FM200 is classed as a clean agent which means that it is safe to use within occupied spaces. The safety of FM200 fire suppression environments is proven in over a decade of real-world experience and validated by extensive scientific studies. FM200 systems take up less storage space than most other fire suppressants.
In addition to the fire protection benefits of using FM200, the environment will benefit as well. FM200 fire suppressant does not deplete stratospheric ozone, and has minimal impact on the environment relative to the impact a catastrophic fire would have. FM200 fire suppression is a solution that is already working in more than 100 thousand applications, in more than 70 nations around the world.
Physical and chemical properties
Chemical Formula: The FM200 Fire Suppression System uses a synthetic, organic compound called heptafluoropropane (HFP) as its active agent. The chemical formula for HFP is C3HF7.
1.Colorless and Odorless: FM200 is a colorless, odorless gas that is difficult to detect without specialized equipment.
2.Non-Corrosive: FM200 is non-corrosive, meaning it does not react with or damage metals, plastics, or other materials commonly found in buildings and equipment.
3.Low Toxicity: FM200 has a low toxicity level, which means it is safe for human occupancy when used in accordance with design and installation guidelines.
4.High Boiling Point: FM200 has a high boiling point of 16.4 °C (61.5 °F), which means it remains in a gaseous state at room temperature and pressure. This property allows it to quickly disperse and distribute throughout an enclosed space to suppress a fire.
5.Non-Conductive: FM200 is non-conductive, which means it does not conduct electricity. This property makes it safe to use in areas where electrical equipment is present.
6.Low Global Warming Potential: FM200 has a low global warming potential (GWP) of 0.02, which is much lower than other commonly used fire suppression agents such as halon.
7.Rapid Extinguishing Action: FM200 can extinguish fires quickly by removing heat from the fire triangle, interrupting the chemical chain reaction, and reducing the concentration of oxygen in the protected space.
Components
Actually, a complete fire suppression system has two parts, one is fire extinguishing part and the other is electrical elements part. Because there is a part focus on eletrical elements, so here will not talk about it anymore. The fire extinguishing part is list out as followings:
1/ Fm200 cylinder
2/ Container valve
3/ Solenoid actuator
4/ Flexible hose
5/ Liquid flow check valve
6/ Cylinder frame
7/ Manifold
8/ Safety valve
9/ Pressure switch
Working principle
The FM200 Fire Suppression System is also highly effective at extinguishing fires. It works by interrupting the chemical chain reaction that occurs during a fire, preventing the fire from spreading and extinguishing it quickly. The system can extinguish fires within 10 seconds, providing a rapid response that can help to minimize damage and downtime.
Here is the illustration of working principle to whole system
Application
The pipe network type fm200 fire suppression system is suitable for a lot of places and several kinds of fires. The followings are some examples for customer as reference:
- Telecommunications and data processing
- Switch gear rooms
- Military applications and cell sites
- High-tech medical application
- Computer rooms
- Telecommunication centers
- Records and data archives
- Testing/imaging equipment
- Reference material
- Chemical laboratories
Advantages
The FM200 Fire Suppression System is a popular choice for protecting sensitive and valuable equipment and materials in a variety of settings. Here are some of its advantages:
1.Quick and Effective Suppression: FM200 is a fast-acting agent that can quickly suppress fires without causing harm to people or the environment. It can extinguish fires in as little as 10 seconds, which can help prevent significant damage and downtime.
2.Safe for Human Occupancy: FM200 is a clean agent, meaning that it does not leave any residue or damage to equipment, electronics, or sensitive materials. It is also safe for human occupancy since it has low toxicity levels and does not displace oxygen in confined spaces.
3.Non-Conductive: FM200 is a non-conductive agent, which means that it can be used in areas where electrical equipment is present, such as data centers, server rooms, and other critical facilities. It can effectively suppress fires without damaging sensitive electronic equipment.
Packages
We always pack it with polyfoam firstly and then put it into a wooden case. Sometimes, in order to meet with customers or the safety requirement, we will make a pallet for the goods.
