Clean Agent System (FM200 and Novec)
What Is A Clean Agent System
A clean agent fire suppression system is made up of discharge nozzles that are connected to a pressurized storage cylinder. When the system is activated, it releases its agent. The system can be triggered electronically, such as through smoke or heat detectors, or mechanically, using parts like fusible links. These systems operate using either inert gases or compressed liquids that are fluorine-based. Some of the common clean agents include nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and argon, as well as proprietary HFC compounds and fluorinated ketones. All of these agents are non-conductive, which makes them safe for use around sensitive equipment and property. To ensure the safety of people, these systems are equipped with warning and alarm features that give enough time for occupants to evacuate the area before the system discharges.
What Are The Common Applications For Clean Agent Systems?
Clean agent systems are often used in areas where there is valuable equipment or assets that cannot be easily replaced. These environments often include IT-related spaces such as server rooms, data centers, telecommunications areas, and control rooms. Control rooms can be found in a variety of situations, such as a control room with computers running, an airport control tower, an industrial plant’s process area, a power plant’s control room, and rooms used for storing records, archives, or other important materials. Basically, any location that holds irreplaceable assets is a good option for a clean agent system.
Types Of Clean Agent Systems
Ansul Inergen
Ansul INERGEN is a clean agent that contains three inert gases: nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide. This system works by reducing the oxygen level in a room to a point where combustion cannot occur. It still allows people to breathe, making it safe for both humans and the environment.
FM-200
FM-200 is a clean, non-toxic, and colorless fire-suppression gas. It works by absorbing heat, which helps to stop a fire. It eliminates the heat component without leaving any residue, thereby protecting valuable assets and ensuring the safety of people.
3M Novec 1230
Novec 1230 is another colorless and non-toxic agent used in applications involving sensitive electronic equipment. It is safe for people and the environment, as it extinguishes fires without disrupting important, high-value assets.
Benefits Of A Clean Agent System
- Safety: Clean agents are non-corrosive and non-toxic, making them safe to use in crowded or busy environments.
- No Associated Damage: Since clean agent fire suppression systems do not use water or powders, they do not cause any damage to the surroundings.
- No Cleanup: This system does not leave any residue, which means no cleanup is required after the system discharges.
