Clean Agent Fire Suppression System FM 200 Gas System

FM 200 Gas System

Supplying all FM200 gas systems in different sizes accredited UL / Non UL national, Chinese and European industry with full operating systems of electrical and manual panels, discharge hoses, alarms and spray.FM200 gas systems are a suitable factor for naturally occupied spaces. Fire suppression systems are commonly used in:

  • Data centers
  • Communication rooms
  • Communication facilities
  • UPS rooms
  • Medical facilities

What is FM200 gas systems?

The FM200 Fire Suppression is also known as HFC227ea is a fire protection system without water, it discharges in danger if within 10 seconds and immediately suppresses the fire.

How Safe is the FM200?

FM200 fire suppression is found as an active compound as a fuel in medical inhalers. This goes without saying that FM200 gas is extremely safe for occupied spaces with the correct fire suppression design.

How does FM200 work?

There is a misconception that FM200 reduces oxygen and this is incorrect! FM200 is an industrial / chemical gas to extinguish the fire and extinguishes the fire by removing free radicals or heat elements from the fire triangle. (Oxygen, heat, and fuel).

CO2 Gas System

CO2 is an odorless, colorless, electrically non-conductive, non-corrosive, and non-deteriorating agent. It is normally present in the atmosphere at about 0.03% by volume.CO2 System consists of a fixed supply of CO2 converted through a piping network and nozzles.

  • Local Application system is used for non-enclosable areas (2 or 3 Dimensional hazards)
  • Flammable liquid storage areas
  • Spray Booth
  • Electrical areas
  • Dust Collection
  • Engine Room
  • Machine Parts

Ansul Fire Suppression System

ANSUL is a line of special hazard fire protection products designed to meet strict standards and tested under the scrutiny of independent labs and approval agencies all over the world.The Ansul Kitchen System is a pre-engineered, automatic fire suppression system that can tackle large, hazardous fires without human intervention. It is the most widely used kitchen suppression system in the world due to its many features and mechanisms to ensure that they are the safest and most reliable solution.

Mechanism of Action

Fm200 gas is liquefied at a low pressure of about 200 psi from about 12 to 133 bar, so it uses with it pressurized nitrogen gas above Fm200 to raise the cylinder pressure to 25 bar, or sometimes it is in a nitrogen cylinder next to it.

The components of the Fm200 gas extinguishing system are the same as those of the CO2 gas extinguishing system.

In the event of a fire the alarm system will give a signal to the solenoid valve on the cylinder that allows gas to come out to the pipes and then go out to the place through the valves.

There are many weights of Fm200 gas cylinders according to demand, or according to design, so in describing the firefighting item with Fm200, the consultant decides how many kilograms the place needs from the gas and not how much a cylinder is like the Co2 system

Most FM200 extinguishing systems are single-cylinder master, there are cylinders of up to 162 kg.

This system is very expensive compared to other systems because the price per kilo of it is expensive – the amount of Fm200 gas is calculated from the formula Minimum Total Fm200 quantity in Kg = place volume in m3 × flooding factor (Kg / m3)

Fm2000 gas at a high concentration may be harmful to people, therefore the design is usually 6 to 7%.

The hydraulic calculations for the system, the diameters and lengths of the pipes, and the design often are with the cylinder manufacturer.

The Fm200 gas cylinder is indicated with a liquid level indicator and there is a cylinder pressure gauge.

In the Fm200 system, the intake station unifies a switch used for manual gas release upon sighting the fire by looking at where it plays the role of the sensor that gives a signal to the control panel to operate the solenoid valve.

It is preferable to place the cylinders outside the area in an area not exposed to weathering

Other helpful information

Gas Fm200 is a trade name but its scientific name, which is found in the symbol, is Heptafluoropane and its chemical symbol (HFC227 EA).

It was discovered in 1980 and it is an environmentally friendly gas and it is an alternative to environmentally friendly halon gas.

The code that explains these systems is NFPA 2001.
