The FM-200* Total Flooding Fire Suppression System is an engineered system utilizing a fixed nozzle agent distribution network. The system is designed and installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 2001, “Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems.” When properly designed, the FM-200 system can suppress a surface burning fire in Class A, B, and C hazards. The fire fighting ability of the FM-200 system is achieved through 80% heat absorption and 20% direct chemical means (action of the fluorine radical on the chain reaction of a flame). Fire suppression using the FM-200 system has the following advantages: n Most effective when used with automatic detection to rapidly introduce FM-200 fire suppression agent n The ability to prevent re-ignition when concentration levels are maintained n Clean agent suitable for protection of high value assets
Typical areas for FM-200 system protection:
HFC 227ea is an extinguishing agent that is highly effective at low extinguishing concentrations and that protects assets and people. It is chemically inert, has no electric conductivity, and is thus safe for electric and electronic equipment.
