Scalable FM200 Fire Pipe Network - Custom Gas Suppression System for Data Rooms

Product Description

  FM200 (HFC-227ea) is a colourless, odourless, non-corrosive, and non-conductive clean agent that leaves no residue or pollution after discharge. It has zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), making it an environmentally friendly fire extinguishing solution. These unique properties make it particularly suitable for protecting high-risk areas where electrical fires are likely to occur.

  When combined with the extinguishing device and electrical accessories, the complete system enables fully automatic operation. Detectors continuously monitor the protected area, and upon detecting a fire, the system automatically activates the extinguishing device through the solenoid actuator. This fully automated process eliminates the need for on-site personnel to notice and respond to a fire, while also reducing labour costs associated with manual supervision of the protected area.

Applications

  The FM200 pipe network system is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Electronic computer rooms and data processing centres

• Telecommunications facilities and process control centres

• Expensive medical equipment rooms and industrial equipment rooms

• Libraries, museums, and art galleries

• Clean rooms and anechoic chambers

• Emergency power facilities and flammable liquid storage areas

• High-risk production areas such as paint spray booths, electrical equipment aging rooms, rolling mills, printing presses, oil switches, oil-immersed transformers, impregnation tanks, melting tanks, large generators, drying equipment, coal pulverising systems in cement production

• Ship engine rooms and cargo holds
  
  

System Components

The FM200 pipe network automatic fire suppression system consists of three main sub-assemblies:

1. Extinguishing Devices

• FM200 storage cylinders (agent storage)

• Cylinder frames and mounting brackets

• Drive gas cylinders (nitrogen) for agent release actuation

2. Pipe Fittings and Network

• High-pressure galvanised steel pipes and conduits

• Flanges, elbows, tees, and reducers

• Pipe network connecting extinguishing devices to the protected zone

3. Electrical Accessories

• Fire detectors for monitoring the protected area

• Alarm control panels for system supervision

• Audible and visual alarms to warn personnel and facilitate evacuation

• Devices to prevent fire spread and control equipment interlocking

When these three integrated sub-assemblies work together, the system delivers automatic fire detection, monitoring, alarm, and suppression capabilities with high efficiency.

Competitive Advantages

Clean Agent – Wide Fire Class Coverage
FM200 is a clean agent suitable for all fire classes except metal fires (Class D). It leaves no residue or pollution after discharge, ensuring no secondary damage to protected assets.

Safe for Critical Assets
The FM200 fire suppression system is specifically designed to protect critical assets and sensitive equipment. It causes no damage to your valuable property and offers a cost-effective and reliable fire suppression solution.

Fast Discharge – Under 10 Seconds
The system provides highly efficient protection by discharging the full agent charge in less than 10 seconds. This rapid discharge creates a total flooding condition within the protected zone, ensuring fast and effective fire suppression.

Integrated Time-Delay Mechanism
The system incorporates a time‑delay feature (approximately 2 minutes) between fire detection and agent discharge. This provides sufficient time for personnel to evacuate the hazardous area safely before the system activates.

Multi-Zone Protection with a Single System
A single FM200 system can protect multiple zones through the use of selector valves. This is a cost‑effective solution for large facilities with multiple protected areas, as it eliminates the need for separate systems for each zone.
