- FIREREX FIREREX 227 Fire Suppression System For 25 / 42 BAR HFC-227ea®© FIREREX FIREREX 227 ‘The bes protection for high-value assets requires a product that could meet al the criteria necessary to minimize the risk offre damages. Halon 1301 has been widely used asi proves tobe an effective fire suppression agent, but Halon 1301 has significant environmental consequences due toits potential contribution to depleting the ozone ayer. ‘The quest fora replacement resulted inthe introduction of Clean Agent - HFC-227ea to the marketplace. Ithas been designated asa replacement for FC propellants in pharmaceutical metered dose inhalers in asthma medications. Known as the world most widely accepted replacement for Halon 1301, HC-227ea is considered as peope-riendly and takes up less or space ‘than ather systems. The U.S Environmental Protection Agency named it anon-czone depleting agent for fire extinguishing systems installed in occupied paces. ‘The FIREREX-227 System is ideal for applications where clean-up of other metium presents a problem, where an electrically non-conductive medium is needed and where people compatibility isan overriding factor. Ithas ero Ozone-Depleting Potential, Low Global Warming Potential and Shor Atmospheric lifetime. These characterstis make tsuitable not only fornew installation using total flooding system, but als for Halon 1301 replacement applications Agent Characteristics Firerex-227's agent (HFC-2276a) isan odores, colorless liquefied compressed gas. Its stored a liquid and dispensed into hazard a a colorless, electrically non-conductive vapor that i clear and does not obscure physical vision. I leaves no residue and has acceptable toxicity for use in occupied spaces at design concentration. Firetex-227 extinguishes a fire by a combination of chemical and physical mechanisms. Fterex-227's agent doesnot displace and therefore ssfe for use in ocupied spaces without fear of oxygen deprivation Firerex-227's agent (HFC-227ea) i Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Listed approved Clean Agent Fire Suppressant produc. The present understanding ofthe functioning of HC-227ea is that 8056 ofits ite fighting effectiveness achieved through heat absorption and 20% through direct chemical means.

To achieve this goal, Firerex Technology Sdn. Bhd. provides this service using acallbrated door fan test unit without discharging any extinguishing agent. ‘The extinguishment effectiveness of any gaseous system depends largely on achieving the designed concentration in a toom and how lang it can be maintained to prevent re-ignition and spread of the fire. Based on the standards, the agent needs to be maintained for 10 minutes Toachieve this, the door blower fan system suseto check the leaktightnes ofthe room. The ‘values obtained from these tests will be evaluated and compared to known tested values to ‘show thatthe room is sufficiently tight to contain the extinguishing agent for the required petod of time Firerex Technology Sdn.
