Model FE-227 -Clean Agent Suppression Systems

• where an environmentally acceptable agent is essential
• where clean up of other media presents a problem
• where weight versus suppression potential is a factor
• where an electrically non-conductive medium is needed
• and where human compatibility an overriding factor.

FE-227 is a colorless, liquefied compressed gas. It is stored as a liquid and dispensed into the hazard as a colorless, electrically non conductive vapor that is clear and does not obscure vision. It leaves no residue and has acceptable toxicity for use in occupied spaces at design concentration. FE-227 extinguishes a fire by a combination of chemical and physical mechanisms. FE-227 does not displace oxygen and therefore is safe for use in occupied spaces without fear of oxygen deprivation.

FE-227 is an effective fire extinguishing agent that can be used on many types of fires. It is effective for many surface fires, such as flammable liquids, and most solid combustible materials.On a weight-of-agent basis, FE-227 is a very effective gaseous extinguishing agent. The FE-227 extinguishing concentration for normal heptane (cup burner method) is approximately 5.8% by volume. The minimum design concentration for total flood applications should be in accordance with NFPA 2001. FE-227 complies with NFPA Standard 2001 - current edition.
