FM200 (HFC-227ea) is a colorless, tasteless, non-corrosive, and electrically insulating gas that leaves no residue or pollution after extinguishing. Its Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) is zero, making it an environmentally friendly extinguishing agent. Because of these properties, it is well suited for special locations where electrical fires are likely to occur.

Combined with the extinguishing device and electronic accessories, the entire system can be actuated automatically. It monitors the protective region through detectors and can then start the extinguishing device via a solenoid actuator automatically, achieving full automation. This eliminates the risk of a fire going unnoticed when no one is present and also saves the cost of employing personnel to supervise the protected area.

Management of multiple zones is also safely handled by the whole system. A single system can protect multiple zones through selective valves, allowing the system to target different protective zones in turn. The agent is discharged directly into the zone where the fire occurs, making fire suppression highly efficient in a short time. Note that a small room should be reserved as storage space for the entire system.

Typical protected spaces include electronic computer rooms, data processing centers, process control rooms, expensive medical equipment, industrial equipment, libraries, museums and art galleries, clean rooms, anechoic chambers, emergency power facilities, and flammable liquid storage areas.

The system is also suitable for locations where fire is likely to occur, such as paint-spraying production lines, aging electrical equipment, rolling machines, printing machines, oil switches, oil-immersed transformers, melt impregnating tanks, large generators, drying equipment, cement production processes involving pulverized coal, and ship engine rooms and cargo holds.

The HFC-227ea system piped with 100 L cylinders is mainly composed of three parts: extinguishing devices, pipe fittings, and electrical accessories.

These include the cylinder that fills and stores FM200, the frame, and the driving device (nitrogen cylinder) that triggers the storage cylinder to discharge the agent.

These are the conduits that connect the extinguishing device and guide the agent into the protective zone, such as high-pressure galvanized steel pipe, flanges, and elbows.

These are used to detect and monitor the entire protective area and control the whole system. They also warn people to evacuate and help prevent fire expansion.

Together, these three integrated parts efficiently detect, supervise, alarm, and extinguish fire automatically.
