FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM

2.2


• Gas Suppression Systems use gaseous agents to control / extinguish

fire is also called as clean agent

• Types of systems based on suppressant agents use:

• Carbon dioxide

• Inert gas such as IG-100

• Chemical Agents :

1) HFC-227ea : Chemical Name Heptafluoropropane (FM-200)

2) FK-5-1-12 : Chemical Name Fluoroketone (Novec1230)

• HFC-227ea & FK 5-1-12 is :

- Clean, Electrically non-conductive, Colorless, Odorless, Non-toxic

• Adoption rate of one gaseous suppression agent over another

depends on

• Budget

• Protected space Occupancy

• End-user’s preference based on past experience.

3Types of Fire

Not all fires are

the same. Per

NFPA 10,

burning may be

classified into

one or more of

the following

fire classes and

the fire

protection

specialist must

select the right

fire

extinguishing

system for the

hazard.


4Why Clean Agent Fire Suppression System is necessary?

Fire Triangle

When the challenge is,- Class A, C & D type Fires

- Wet Systems like Sprinklers, Deluge systems can’t be

used due to Electrical equipments

- Controlling Oxygen.

Remove any one and Fire gets “extinguished”

Purpose,- Portable Dry Powder Extinguishers, CO2 flooding system,

some wet Extinguishers, Inert Gases remove “Oxygen”

from Fire to extinguish.

- Sprinklers, Clean Agents remove “Heat” from the Fire

situation

- Removal of Fuel is usually a challenge in Fire situations,

hence, normally “Oxygen” or “Heat” is removed /

targetted to control / douse the Fire.

- Server Rooms, Critical Control Rooms, Substations,

Switch Rooms etc. requires Gas based suppression

system


5

Use of inert gases and chemical/synthetic agents to extinguish a fire is called as clean

agent fire suppression system.

Chemical agents HFC-227ea & FK-5-1-12 are waterless agents/gases, which gets discharged into the risk

area within 10 seconds and suppresses the fire immediately ( within 10 Sec).

What is Clean Agent Fire Suppression System?


HFC-227ea & FK-5-1-12 are:-

- Clean

- Electrically non-conductive

- Colorless

- Odorless

- Non-toxic

Agent Listing/Approvals

- Underwriters Laboratories

- US Environmental Protection Authority (EPA)

- NFPA 2001
