Reliable Fire Protection for Critical and High-Risk Areas

Fires in vital facilities such as data centers, power plants, and industrial installations can shut down operations in minutes. Therefore, fire protection systems must be able to operate quickly, accurately, and safely for the assets they protect. GEMTEX GEM200 present as a solution clean agent fire suppression system designed for those needs.

What is GEMTEX GEM200?

GEMTEX GEM200 is a system Engineered Fire Suppression which uses extinguishing agents HFC-227ea (Heptafluoropropane). This system is designed for applications total flooding, so that it can protect the entire room thoroughly and effectively.

The GEM200 system has:

  • UL Listed
  • FM Approved
  • SIRIM Tested
  • Designed to suit NFPA 2001 And UL 2166

With this certification, GEMTEX GEM200 meets international safety standards for clean agent systems.

HFC-227ea Clean Agent Technology

Extinguishing agent HFC-227eais a halocarbon clean agent that has been widely used as a replacement for Halon.

The main characteristics of HFC-227ea include:

  • Colorless and odorless
  • Does not conduct electricity
  • Leaves no residue
  • Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
  • Safe for populated areas

In the extinguishing process, GEMTEX GEM200 works through 80% heat absorption And 20% fire chemical reaction termination, so that the fire can be extinguished quickly without damaging sensitive equipment.

Main Components of the GEMTEX GEM200 System

To ensure optimal and reliable system operation, the GEMTEX GEM200 is equipped with a series of high-precision components.

1. Cylinder Assembly

The GEM200 cylinder is available in various capacities, ranging from 16.7 liters to 453 liters. Each cylinder is filled with HFC-227ea and super-pressurized with dry nitrogen to 25 bar at 21°C.

For multi-cylinder configurations:

  • Master cylinder can be activated manually or electrically
  • Slave cylinder pneumatically activated from the master cylinder

2. Actuator System

The GEM200 actuation system is designed to flexibly suit installation requirements:

  • Manual Actuator for emergency activation
  • Electrical Actuator (24V DC) for alarm system integration
  • Pneumatic Actuator for synchronization of release between cylinders

3. Check Valve and Discharge Nozzle

The check valve prevents agent loss in the manifold system, while the discharge nozzle ensures even agent distribution throughout the protected area.
