The FM200 (HFC-227EA) automatic gas fire suppression system is an empty-cylinder solution engineered for total-flooding protection of critical and high-value spaces. It combines extinguishing cylinders, electronic detection accessories, and solenoid actuation to deliver fully automatic fire suppression with zero residue and zero ozone-depletion potential.

FM200 (HFC-227EA) is a colorless, odorless, non-corrosive, and electrically insulating extinguishing gas that leaves no residue or pollution after discharge. Its ODP is zero, making it an environmentally friendly extinguishing agent. These properties allow it to be used safely in 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 protected area through detectors and triggers the extinguishing device via a solenoid actuator, achieving full automation. This eliminates the risk of an unnoticed fire and reduces the cost of personnel required to supervise the protected area.

The system also supports management of multiple zones under a single safe control scheme. Using selective valves, one system can protect several zones and direct the agent to the zone where a fire occurs, ensuring fast and efficient extinguishing. A small room should be reserved as storage space for the system components.

The system is suitable for protecting critical and high-value environments, including:

• Electronic computer rooms and data processing centers
• Telecommunications facilities and process control rooms
• Expensive medical equipment and industrial equipment
• Libraries, museums, and art galleries
• Clean rooms and emergency power facilities
• Flammable liquid storage areas

It is also well suited to locations where fire is likely to occur, such as:

• Paint-spraying production lines and aging-electrical equipment
• Rolling machines, printing machines, and oil switches
• Oil-immersed transformers and melt-impregnating tanks
• Large generators and drying equipment
• Cement production processes involving pulverized coal
• Ship engine rooms and cargo holds
