Description
HFC-227ea(FM200) clean agent automatic fire suppression system is widely used in China and all over the world. Its most strong point is that this system meets the world’s requirement of environmental protection. It will not hurt the ozone layer even for 1% possibility. The other strong point is that such as the clean, odorless and colorless agent, the easy installation and so on, make it the best substitute for the halon 1301 in people’s mind.
FM-200 works by removing the oxygen necessary for combustion in the protected area. It quickly extinguishes fires without causing collateral damage to sensitive equipment and electronics. This makes it particularly suitable for data centers, telecommunications facilities, museums, archives, and other places where rapid and clean fire suppression is critical.
Key features of an FM-200 fire extinguishing system include:
- Fast Response: The system can extinguish a fire within seconds, significantly reducing damage.
- Clean Agent: No residue is left behind after discharge, making cleanup easier.
- Safe for Personnel: FM-200 is safe for use in occupied spaces when designed and installed according to NFPA standards.
- Environmentally Friendly: Although FM-200 is a halocarbon, it has zero ozone depletion potential and a relatively low global warming potential compared to other halocarbons.
Installation and maintenance of an FM-200 system should be carried out by certified professionals who understand the specific requirements and safety protocols associated with these systems. Regular inspections and testing are essential to ensure the system remains functional and compliant with local codes and regulations.

Advantages
This system has a cylinder frame, whose shape is similar to a cabinet, so this system is called cabinet pipe network type fm200 fire suppression system. Besides, here is going to list out the advantages of this system.
1/ Place saving. This fire suppression system requires a separated room outside the protected zone, and will not occupy the places of the protected zone.
2/ Easy installation. A few components and an easy structure make the system install easily.
3/ Convenient transportation. Because of a few components and careful package, the transportation will be very convenient and safe.
Working procedure
The procedure is a little bit complicated, so let us show you the proper right process.
A fire happens → the smoke detector and heat detector send signal back to the control panel → the control panel activates the alarm bell to inform people of escaping the building → after a few seconds( customized), activates the fire suppression system to put out the fire.
