FM200/NOVIC/CO2 gas extinguishing systems

Sure, here's a detailed explanation of gas extinguishing systems (FM200 / NOVEC 1230 / CO2).These systems are known as clean agent fire suppression systems and are used to protect high-value and sensitive areas where water or foam can cause significant damage.

These systems extinguish fires by chemical or physical intervention with the combustion process (the fire triangle), rather than by cooling, as in the case of water. They aim to extinguish a fire in its initial stages (the beginnings) before it develops and becomes difficult to control.

FM200 (HFC-227ea) system

Gas Type: It is a substitute for Halon (Hydrofluorocarbon - HFC). It is a liquefied gas stored under pressure. Method of Action: It works primarily chemically. The FM200 molecule absorbs heat energy from the fire and then decomposes to form free radicals that react with fuel and oxygen radicals in a combustion reaction, breaking the chemical chain reaction and extinguishing the fire. Advantages: Very fast (typically 10-60 seconds to extinguish). Low extinguishing concentration (about 7-8% of the room volume), which means it requires a smaller amount of storage compared to other gases such as CO2. Safe for humans at the concentrations used for extinguishing (it can remain in the room during the system evacuation for a short time to escape). Leaves no residue after use.

اChoose NOVEC 1230 when human safety and environmental impact are top priorities, and cost is not a constraint.
Choose FM200 when you're looking for a balanced solution in terms of effectiveness, safety, and cost for standard applications such as server rooms.
Choose CO2 only for areas that are not permanently occupied or can be fully evacuated, and for high-risk applications where cost is a significant factor.
