HALOCARBON CLEAN AGENT FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
Halocarbon systems are recognized by NFPA as clean agents to suppress all A, B, C classes of fires especially in normally occupied protected spaces such as control rooms, museum, libraries and etc. Nowadays, because of many advantages such low pressure and no Barotraumas danger, no suffocating dangers, these systems going to be first choice of clients to protect the areas by a gaseous system.
Advantage of Halocarbon systems:
1- Low initial cost than other gaseous systems
2- Smallest required space to install hardware than other gaseous systems
3- Fastest discharge & Extinguishing time (10 ~ 30 seconds)
4- No adverse effect on environment
5- Design flexibility due to various size of cylinder (5 ~ 240 liters) and two ranges of system pressure (25 & 42 bar)
6- Protection of either normally occupied or non-occupied spaces
7- Retrofitting of HALON with minimum change in existed distribution piping network
8- Completely certified systems by famous Notified bodies such as UL® and EPA
9- Possibility of local recharging of discharged cylinders
10- Lowest maintenance costs because of low Number of hardware components
11- No need to special devices such as excessive pressure relief damper for protected room
12- Safe agent regarding any suffocation or barotraumas
Application of Halocarbon systems:
- Petrochemical industry
- Refinery industry
- Normally Occupied Areas
- Computer rooms
- Control rooms
- Labs
- Telecommunication facilities
- Server rooms
- Banks
- Archives
- Museums
- Storage areas
- Facilities where water damage from sprinklers must be avoided at all costs
