Fire Suppression System

The FK-5-1-12 fire suppression system is a clean agent extinguishing system designed to protect critical environments such as data centers, server rooms, telecommunications facilities, archives, and other spaces where water-based fire suppression systems could cause significant damage to sensitive equipment. The system uses FK-5-1-12 (also known as Novec 1230), a fluorinated ketone-based fire suppression agent that is environmentally friendly, non-conductive, and leaves no residue after discharge.

 

FK-5-1-12 is a synthetic clean agent that extinguishes fires by absorbing heat and interrupting the fire’s chemical chain reaction. It is an ideal solution for protecting high-value assets and ensuring business continuity in the event of a fire.

Without this solution, organizations face the following challenges:

Increased Fire Risk
Without a Fire Suppression System, the risk of fire spreading within critical areas increases, potentially leading to significant damage to equipment, infrastructure, and data loss.
Delayed Response to Fires
In the absence of an automated fire suppression system, the time it takes for human intervention can result in severe damage before the fire is under control.
Risk of Irreparable Damage
Without fire suppression systems, fires can cause irreparable damage to vital data center equipment and systems, potentially leading to data loss and long-term operational downtime.

How It Works
Fire Suppression System maintains rapid response, safety, and minimal damage in critical environments.
Show Details
a. Overview of Fire Suppression System
    Fire suppression systems are critical for protecting data centers and sensitive equipment from fire hazards. These systems are designed to quickly detect, suppress, and contain fires without causing damage to the equipment. By using advanced agents like FK-5-1-12, these systems provide reliable protection and minimize downtime.
b. Fire Detection
    Fire suppression systems use state-of-the-art fire detection technology, including smoke detectors, heat sensors, and flame detectors. These sensors continuously monitor the environment for signs of a fire, and when a potential threat is detected, the system triggers the suppression mechanism.
c. Suppression Mechanism
    Once a fire is detected, the suppression system activates the release of the extinguishing agent, such as FK-5-1-12. This agent works by absorbing heat and interrupting the chemical reaction of the fire, effectively extinguishing the flames. It suppresses the fire quickly, typically within 10 seconds or less.
d. Clean and Residue-Free
    Fire suppression agents like FK-5-1-12 leave no residue behind. This is crucial for protecting sensitive equipment and documents from damage. Unlike water or powder-based systems, there is no need for post-discharge cleanup, reducing recovery time and operational disruption.
e. Safety and Non-Conductivity
    FK-5-1-12 is electrically non-conductive, making it safe for use around live electrical equipment. It also doesn't cause corrosion, ensuring that valuable electronics and machinery are protected during fire suppression events.
f. Environmental Responsibility
    Fire suppression agents like FK-5-1-12 have low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP). They comply with stringent environmental regulations, including the Montreal and Kyoto Protocols, making them a sustainable choice for data centers.
g. Quick Recovery and Minimal Downtime
    Since FK-5-1-12 leaves no residue and is non-corrosive, businesses can quickly recover and resume operations after a fire incident. This reduces downtime and the need for costly repairs, ensuring business continuity.
h. Scalability and Customization
    Fire suppression systems can be customized to meet the specific needs of different environments. Whether protecting small server rooms or large data centers, the system can scale and adapt to accommodate different sizes and layouts.
i. Compliance with Industry Standards
    Fire suppression systems are designed to meet industry standards such as NFPA 2001 and ISO 14520. These certifications ensure that the system complies with fire safety and environmental regulations.
j. Cost-Effectiveness
    Fire suppression systems reduce the need for extensive maintenance and offer a lower total cost of ownership. With minimal post-fire cleanup and damage prevention, businesses save on repair and replacement costs, contributing to long-term cost savings.
