Many fire suppression systems can damage or destroy the very equipment they’re meant to protect. Sensitive computer, electronic and telecommunications equipment – like that found in data centers, telecommunication facilities and other tech businesses — require special fire suppression considerations and advanced care. If your building houses mission critical electronics and you have limited space, consider FM-200 (FM200), a halon alternative waterless fire suppression system that is specifically designed to protect sensitive computer, electronics and telecommunications equipment.
FM-200 is a clean agent fire suppression system designed specifically to protect sensitive electronic equipment. FM-200 stops fires fast using a combination of chemical and physical mechanisms. FM-200 discharges gas (1,1,1,2,3,3,3-Heptafluoropropane) directly onto the surface of combustible materials. Heat is absorbed from the surface of the burning material(s), thereby lowering the material’s temperature below the ignition point.
FM-200 deploys quickly and cleanly – it won’t leave behind oily residue, particulate or water. FM-200 is one of the fastest suppression systems available; its extinguishing levels are typically reached in ten seconds or less. This extreme speed results in less damage, lower repair costs and shorter downtime - not to mention a greater window of safety for any people that may be involved in the fire.
FM-200 can be safely used where people are working and present. It is actually used as a propellant in pharmaceutical inhalers that dispense asthma medication! Common environments using FM-200 for fire suppression are businesses, government buildings, universities, hospitals, museums and many others. Worldwide, over 100,000 systems have been installed to date. The FM-200 agent is stored in cylinders as liquid. Pressurization is achieved using nitrogen which saves huge amounts of storage space. FM-200 takes up to seven times less storage space than systems based on CO2 and inert gases. When discharged, the liquid flows through a network of piping into the protected area where it vaporizes.
Using the wrong type of fire suppression system in a telecommunications or data center environment can cause major damage. Guardian Fire offers a variety of cutting edge fire suppression systems including FM-200 for companies in Maryland (MD), Virginia (VA), Washington DC and select parts of of West Virginia (WV).
