General

Suggested Architects Specifications

The FM-200 Fire Suppression System is an engineered system utilizing a fixed nozzle agent distribution network. The system is designed
and installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) Standard 2001, Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing
Systems. When properly designed, the FM-200 system will suppress
surface burning fire in Class A, B, and C hazards.

A comprehensive Architect and Engineering Specification for FM-200


Clean Agent Fire Suppression Systems and Pyro-Chem Detection/
Release System equipment is available on diskette. This specification
is ideal for insertion into Division 15: Mechanical Fire Detection/
Suppression Systems and Division 13: Special Construction, Automatic Fire Suppression sections.

80% of FM-200 fire fighting effectiveness is achieved through heat


absorption and 20% through direct chemical means (action of the
fluorine radical on the chain reaction of a flame). Complete suppression using FM-200 has the following advantages:
The low concentration of FM-200 required means less visual obscurity and minimal risk to personnel.
The small quantity of agent discharged minimizes over-pressurization of the protected area.
Maximum safety for personnel due to low toxicity.
Most effective when used with automatic detection to introduce
FM-200 rapidly.
The ability to prevent re-ignition as long as concentration levels are
maintained.

System Operation
The basic system consists of extinguishing agent stored in high
strength steel cylinders. Manual or automatic actuators are available
for release of the agent into the hazard area. The agent is distributed
and discharged into the hazard area through fixed piping and nozzles.
Each nozzle is designed to deliver a uniform discharge of agent into
the protected area. On large hazards, cylinders can be manifolded
together. The cylinders are connected to the manifold by means of a
flexible discharge bend and check valve.
Automatic actuation is accomplished through an approved detection
system. When a fire condition cause the detector(s) located in the hazard area to go into alarm, a signal is sent to the detection control
panel. This causes actuation of the release circuit which electrically
operates the actuator located on the cylinder valve. The actuator
opens the valve and allows the agent to enter the piping network and
discharge out the nozzles.

1. Agent Tank The agent storage tank consists of an approved


DOT4BW450 or DOT4BW500 high pressure steel tank fitted with a
valve and internal siphon tube, factory filled with FM-200, and
superpressurized with dry nitrogen to 360 psi (25 bar) at 70 F
(21 C). Tanks sharing the same manifold shall be equal in size
and fill density. Tanks are available in 8 sizes, ranging from 8 liter
to 343 liter. A nameplate is adhered to the tank displaying the agent
weight, tare weight, gross weight, fill density, and charge date. On
the larger size tanks, an optional liquid level indicator is available.
2. Agent FM-200 (HFC-227ea) is a clean, gaseous agent containing
no particles or oily residues. It is produced under ISO 9002 guidelines to strict manufacturing specifications ensuring product purity.
FM-200 leaves no residue or oily deposits on delicate electronic
equipment, and can be removed from the protected space by ventilation. FM-200 is thermally and chemically stable, but without the
extremely long atmospheric lifetimes associated with other proposed halon replacements. The atmospheric lifetime of FM-200 has
been determined to be 36.5 years. The EPA does not consider
FM-200 to be a long-lived substance when discharged, and as
such, has placed no restrictions on its use.
3. Distribution Piping Network FM-200 engineered systems are
based on a Hydraulic Flow Program developed by Hughes
Associates Inc. The program predicts the two-phase flow of the
agent and nitrogen through a pipe network. Information detailing
the enclosure is entered and the program calculates the required
pipe sizes, nozzle drill sizes, average nozzle pressures, and discharge time. As system design calculations are critical to the success of the extinguishing system, only Pyro-Chem or Pyro-Chem
trained personnel are permitted to perform system calculations.

4. Nozzles FM-200 is distributed within the protected area by the


discharge nozzle which is sized to ensure the correct flow of agent
for the hazard. Nozzles are available with seven or eight ports to
allow for either 180 or 360 horizontal discharge patterns. Ports
are drilled in .004 in. (0.1 mm) increments to the specified system
design. Nozzles are supplied in brass with NPT threads. Nozzles
are available in 6 sizes, ranging from 3/8 in. to 2 in.
5. Detection System The Pyro-Chem Detection System is used
where an automatic electronic detection system is required to actuate the FM-200 suppression system. This detection system is used
to actuate a single, fixed, fire suppression or alarm system based
on inputs received from fire detection devices. The detection circuits can be configured using cross, counting, independent or priority-zone (counting) concepts. The detection system has been
tested to the applicable FCC Rules and Regulations for Class A
Computing devices.
6. Actuation Line The Master tank is actuated via the detection
release circuit. To actuate the Slave tanks, 1/4 in. flexible, stainless steel actuation hose is used. The hose is connected to the
pilot pressure port of the master tank valve and from that location,
run to pneumatic actuators located on top of each of the slave tank
valves. The pressure channeled from the master pilot port operates
the pneumatic actuators on the slave valves, causing them to
open.
