FM-200 Agent

• The foremost Clean Agent –worldwide
• Heptafluoropropane
• HFC-227ea

• NOAEL: Highest Concentration at which
• No Adverse Effect is Observed
• LOAEL: Lowest Concentration at which Adverse Effect is Observed
• PBPK: Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling
• NFPA 2001, 2008 Edition Allows Use of FM-200 As Follows:

- In Normally Occupied Spaces

- Concentrations up to 10.5% v/v

- In Normally Not Occupied Spaces

- Concentrations up to 10.5% v/v

- Concentrations exceeding 10.5% v/v provide occupants can evacuate within 30 seconds

- Lock-out valve, mechanical time delay, pressure operated siren and signage required

• FM-200 is so safe, It has been designated as a replacement propellant in medical inhalers.

FE-13 Systems

• Gaseous agent from DuPont
• HFC-23
• No ozone depletion potential
• Acceptable global warming potential

What Is FE-13?

• Trifluoromethane
• CHF3
• HFC-23
• Boiling point = -115.7F (-82.0C)
• Vapor pressure = 686 PSIA @ 77F

FE-13 People Safety

• NOAEL = 30%
• LOAEL = >50%
• HFC-23
• Typical use concentration = 18%
• Large safety margin

– Tough hazards -mixed flammables

– Variables

– Inerting

FE-13 Agent Characteristics

• High Pressure

– Low boiling point = wide temp range

– High velocity = expansion

-Large spaces

-High ceilings

-Clutert

FE-13 and the Environment

• ODP = ZERO
• HGWP = 5.7
• The EPA Says…“HFC-23 is Acceptable as a Halon 1301 substitute.”
• “Since HFC-23 is ... a by-product of manufacturing ... EPA is allowing the use of this agent wherever applicable given technical or market considerations.”

FE-13 Applications

• Mixed flammables
• Forensic Evidence storage
• Rail locomotives
• Mining vehicles
• Rooms with variable fill” capacity
• Rooms with extremes in temperature
• Inerting

FE-13 Strengths

• Flexible design
• High ceilings (25 ft) with one tier of nozzles
• Inerting applications
• Safety margin for people exposure
• Design temperature limits

FE-13 Weaknesses

• Cylinder storage space requirements
• Perceived environmental issues
• Relative cost of system

- high pressure system (piping, cylinders etc)

• Recharge capability

INERT Gas

• Two commonly, commercially available Inert gases
• Mixture of naturally occurring gases:

	IG-55	IG-541
– Nitrogen	50%	52%
– Argon	50%	40%
– Carbon Dioxide	0%	8%

What are INERT Gases?

• Same density as the atmosphere…will mix with the air and hold concentration levels
• Does not conduct electricity
• No toxic by-products when exposed to heat
• No visible obscuration during discharge
• No residue after discharge
• Suitable for Class A, B & C Hazards
• Stored and Discharged as a Vapor (Gas)

How Does it Work?

• Extinguishes through physical means
• Reduces enclosure’s O2 concentration
• Safe for people

Features of Argonite Agent

• No decomposition products
• Clean
• Electrically non-conductive
• Effective against Class A, B and C fires

Benefits of Argonite Agent

• A truly “green” agent
• A safe work environment
