FM-200 Fire Suppression System
Poseidon’s FM-200 Fire Suppression System uses HFC-227ea as a halocarbon clean agent for engineered gaseous fire suppression.
HFC-227ea is electrically non-conductive and leaves no extinguishing-agent residue after discharge. System design must account for the protected volume, hazard, enclosure conditions, agent concentration, storage cylinders, piping, nozzles, detection, release controls, and personnel-safety requirements.
HFC-227ea has zero ozone-depletion potential. It also has significant global-warming impact, so environmental and regulatory requirements in the destination market should be considered when specifying the agent.
The applicable design concentration and personnel-exposure limits depend on the engineered system and the requirements used for the project.
The current product pressure range is 1.2 MPa to 4.2 MPa (174 psi to 609 psi).
Available configurations include cabinet-mounted, external-storage, piped-network, and suspended arrangements.
The appropriate configuration depends on the protected enclosure, required agent quantity, cylinder arrangement, piping, installation space, and the limits documented for the selected system.
FM-200 uses HFC-227ea, an electrically non-conductive clean agent that leaves no extinguishing-agent residue after discharge. This property makes clean agent fire suppression systems using HFC-227ea suitable for consideration in enclosed areas containing electrical or electronic equipment, subject to the complete system design.
FM-200 systems are designed to discharge the required agent quantity within the time specified by the applicable system design requirements.
System performance depends on the design concentration, enclosure integrity, agent quantity, pipe network, nozzle arrangement, detection, and release sequence. A residue-free discharge reduces agent cleanup, but it does not by itself establish equipment condition or downtime after a fire.
