Fire Suppression Systems
FM200
HFC-277ea is a chemical gas comprises of Hydrogen, Fluorine & Carbon. A commonly known brand is FM200.
General Information on HFC-277ea (FM200):
Extinguishes a fire is by bringing down the temperature, so that the combustion reaction is unable to sustain itself.
Capable for total flooding applications where the protected area has the structural integrity to contain the chemical gas that has been discharged.
Has a Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), it however has a Global Warming Potential of approximately 3800.
Upon discharge of HFC-277ea (FM200), a decrease in visibility in the protected room will occur as the chemical agent is stored in the form of liquid. Mist will therefore be generated when vaporization occurs, causing condensation in the air.
Also, it is highly recommended that exposure to HFC-277ea (FM200) during its discharge should be kept to a minimum as Hydrogen Fluoride (HF), a by-product from the chemical reaction of halocarbon gas with heat will cause irritation to a body’s tissue surfaces, and prolonged exposure with increasing concentrations could even prove to be lethal in the absence of medical intervention.
How it works:
Similar to NN100, HFC-277ea (FM200) operates after two stages of fire protection field devices activation.
First stage activation of HFC-277ea (FM200) system:
When the first smoke detector activated, the alarm bell situated in the protected room will begin to ring.
The “Evacuate Area Immediately” signage situated inside the protected room will start to flash.
Second stage activation of HFC-277ea (FM200) system:
Horn and strobe light situated inside the protected room will being to sound and flash respectively.
Upon the pre-determined 30 seconds countdown delay, HFC-277ea (FM200) will be discharged.
“Gas Discharged” signage situated outside protected room will begin to flash.
Other information:
Although HFC-277ea (FM200) is used in Singapore, it is banned in certain Scandinavian countries like Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland. For an alternative to HFC-277ea (FM200) gas suppression system, another reliable gas suppression system will be NN100.
NN100
Nohmi NN100 (IG100) is the most environmentally friendly fire suppression system in the market. It has zero ozone depletion and zero global warming potential. Wholly made in Japan by Nohmi, the largest fire protection provider in Japan, Nohmi NN100 is the perfect solution for your mission-critical fire protection needs.
- Engineered Type
Multiple protection zones from a cylinder room, reduces the number of cylinder requirement. The flexibility in design allows it to fit most rooms and ensures maximum piping length from cylinder to nozzle.
- Packaged Type
Suitable for any dedicated zone for protection.
Less space consumption because no cylinder room is required. No plumbing work reduces installation cost.
