What is FM-200 Fire Suppression System?

FM-200 Fire Suppression System is one of the effective fire extinguishing systems and is worthy of being applied in the modern era today. The FM-200 Fire Suppression System is considered effective because it uses gas media. Gas works by eliminating 1 of the 3 elements (heat, oxygen, and fuel) that cause fire.

FM-200 Fire Suppression is a system designed to work automatically when a fire occurs. FM-200 Fire Suppression works more optimally and is superior for fire protection in closed or indoor spaces, such as data centers, archive rooms, libraries, and others.

In the system, there is a fire alarm system that works automatically to detect the appearance of smoke when a fire occurs.

Then fire alarm system will send a smoke signal so that FM-200 Fire Suppression automatically works to extinguish the fire. FM-200 Fire Suppression will spray extinguishing agents, so that the fire can be overcome before the fire appears.

Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing System is identical to a fire extinguishing system that uses gas as an extinguishing agent. It can be HFC-227ea gas (FM-200), FK-5-1-12 gas (Novec-1230), or Inert Gas (Argon and Nitrogen).

Although both use gas as an extinguishing agent, chemically there are differences in the way Halocarbon Gas and Inert Gas work in extinguishing fire. As for what differentiates the way the gas works, the reason can be found in the basic theory of the creation of fire in the Fire Tetrahedron scheme.

How FM-200 Works Fire Suppression System

The way the FM200 fire suppression system works is with sensors that are integrated into the device, when there are signs of a fire, the device will automatically spray extinguishing agents so that fires can be prevented. Here is the explanation:

1. Fire detection
   The FM200 is equipped with several types of fire detectors, such as smoke detectors, heat detectors, and temperature monitoring systems. When it detects suspicious smoke or temperature, it will send a signal to the control center.
2. Fire warning notice
   After detecting a fire, the next way the FM200 fire system works is to provide a warning. Either in the form of an alarm, siren, or visual notification. The aim is to inform people in the vicinity of the fire, so that they can vacate the area.
3. FM200 Activation
   When an alert is given and a fire is confirmed, the system will activate the release of FM200 gas into the burning room. The way the FM200 extinguishing system works is designed special by using polymer pipes.
4. Release system
   The direct discharge system uses a fire detection pipe as a fire extinguishing media distribution system. The fire detection pipe closest to the hottest point will break, then the nozzle will work and release the fire extinguishing media. With an indirect discharge system, the FM-200 Fire Suppression System will function as a detector. The extinguishing system agent will be channeled through a copper pipe or stainless steel pipe. After the detector pipe breaks, the suppressor will work through the copper pipe or stainless steel pipe. The suppressor will work through the nozzle that has been placed. Furthermore, the extinguishing gas will come out through the nozzle.
