Clean Agent Fire Suppression System
What is FM-200 Fire Suppression System?
FM-200 fire suppression is known as HFC227ea. FM 200 fire suppression system designed, installed and maintained according to NFPA 2001 (Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing System). FM-200 utilizes halocarbon gas Heptafluoropropane (HFC-227ea) in NFPA 2001 and ISO:14520-1. The general requirements and design criteria are based on both NFPA 2001 and ISO 14520-1.
FM-200 is employed as a total flooding system and cannot be used in a local application system. FM-200 suppresses fire by absorbing heat energy at the molecular level faster than it can be generated, so the fire cannot sustain itself.
The extinguishing agent used in this Fire Suppression System is HFC-227ea. The specialty of this agent is that it is extremely rapid and effective. Once discharged, HFC-227ea extinguishes it quickly by discharging in just 10±1 seconds or lesser. FM-200 fire suppression system effectively removes heat and breaks up the fire at molecular level.

FM200 Clean Agent Fire Suppression System (HFC-227ea)
HFC-227ea is a gaseous halocarbon agent containing no particles; it leaves no oily residue on electronic equipment and can be removed from the protected space by ventilation. This is the first environmentally acceptable replacement for halon 1301.
The present understanding of the functioning of HFC-227ea is that 80% of its firefighting effectiveness is achieved through heat absorption and 20% through direct chemical means. HFC-227ea is stored as a liquefied compressed gas superpressurized with dry nitrogen to 25BAR and discharged to the protected area as a vapor.

The quest for a replacement resulted in the introduction of HFC-227ea to the market-place. It has been designated as a replacement for CFC propellants in pharmaceutical metered dose inhalers in asthma medications. HFC-227ea is a widely used Halon 1301 replacement agent, considered people-friendly and taking up less floor space than other systems. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency named it a non-ozone depleting agent for fire extinguishing systems installed in occupied spaces.
