How do you install a FM-200 fire suppression system?
When it comes time to install your FM-200 system, you will need to:
- Test and clean all detectors.
- Verify shutdown and evacuation circuits.
- Verify cylinder pressures and weights.
- Check for changes in hazard integrity.
- Check input and output circuit supervision.
- Simulat system discharge and test releasing circuits.
What is the gas used in an FM-200 system?
FM-200™ is a colorless, compressed liquefied gas used to extinguish fires and is a popular replacement for Halon fire suppression systems. FM-200™ fire suppression systems are pressurized with nitrogen, waterless, and upon activation, FM-200™ discharges as a gas to suppress the fire.
How safe is FM-200?
FM-200 is a clean, colorless, and environmentally friendly fire suppressant that is electronically non-conductive and safe for humans. The fire suppression system extinguishes flames primarily through heat absorption and is safe for use in occupied areas.
How is FM 200 calculated?
- Room volume = 1200 ft3.
- Pressure = 14.7 psia.
- FM-200 concentration = C = 7 vol%
- Cylinder fill density = 70 Ib/ft3.
- Cylinder volume = 0.585 ft3 = 0.0165 m3.
- Pipe: 20 ft 3/4″ Sch.
- Total system volume after discharge = 1200 66 ft3 = 34 00 m3.
- The agent quantity is calculated as W = (V/S) C/( 100-C) = 10.9 Ib = I09 3 mol.
What is fire FM-200?
FM-200 is a colorless, non-toxic gas perfectly suited to protect high value assets in areas that may be normally occupied.
What is FM-200 in fire fighting?
FM200 is a colourless gas which is liquified under pressure for storage. Like Halon 1301 it has a low toxicity level and is superpressurised with Nitrogen to 24.8bar (360psi). It rapidly extinguishes most commonly found fires through a combination of chemical and physical mechanisms.
Where is the fire suppression automatic hood system located?
Being able to protect a wide variety of kitchen appliances, a kitchen fire suppression system is typically installed over stove tops, within the cooker hood, in adjacent cupboards, or even above deep fryers. The system’s nozzles are installed in the kitchen hood exhaust in both small and large kitchens.
Does FM-200 displace oxygen?
FM-200® does not displace oxygen and therefore is safe for use in occupied spaces without fear of oxygen deprivation. SSI offers HFC-227ea/FM200 clean agent fire suppression systems through our quality line of Fike Products. and micro-environment Firetrace Protection Systems.
What does FM-200 stand for?
heptafluoropropane
What does FM-200™ stand for? FM-200™, also known as HFC-227ea or a heptafluoropropane, is a compound made up of carbon, fluorine, and hydrogen (CF3CHFCF3) and is produced by Chemours. It can be used in a wide variety of applications to provide fast-acting fire suppression.
