Fire suppression systems

Fire suppression systems for server rooms and data centres are essential to the server room itself. A fire suppression system will automatically extinguish a fire without the need of human intervention. Fire suppression systems for data centres must be suitable for clean air environments, as server rooms and data centres are mostly occupied by personnel.

The designs standards for Fire suppression systems for server rooms and data centres are carried out with strict guidelines, as the fire suppression agents used can be dangerous if not designed correctly.

a) FM200 Fire Suppression

FM200 fire suppression is also known as HFC227ea. FM200 is a waterless fire protection system, it is discharged into the risk within 10 seconds and suppresses the fire immediately.

The main advantage of FM200 fire suppression, is the small amount of agent required to suppress a fire. This means fewer cylinders, therefore less wasted space for storage of FM200 cylinders.

FM200 systems reach extinguishing levels in 10 seconds or less, stopping ordinary combustible, electrical, and flammable liquid fires before they cause significant damage. FM200 extinguishes the fire quickly, which means less damage, lower repair costs. Like any other fire suppression system, FM200 systems are designed with an extra margin of safety for people. Refilling FM200 is simple and cost effective, therefore, it also means less downtime and disruption to your business.

FM200 is classed as a clean agent which means that it is safe to use within occupied spaces. The safety of FM200 fire suppression

environments is proven in over a decade of real-world experience and validated by extensive scientific studies. FM200 systems take up less storage space than most other fire suppressants. In addition to the fire protection benefits of using FM200, the environment will benefit as well. FM200 fire suppressant does not deplete stratospheric ozone, and has minimal impact on the environment relative to the impact a catastrophic fire would have. FM200 fire suppression is a solution that is already working in more than 100 thousand applications, in more than 70 nations around the world.

b) Novec™ 1230

Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid, is a second generation clean agent fire extinguishing agent. Novec™ 1230 is a chemical agent used primarily in total flooding systems and is the most environmentally benign of all the chemical agents. Novec™ 1230 is truly a real breakthrough in clean agent technology, a liquid at room temperature, it looks, feels and acts like water, allowing flexibility in recharge procedures. In particular our higher storage pressure at 34.5 bar (500psi) allows the greatest flexibility for the system design.

c) Fire Extinguishers:

In the event of any fire, extinguishers are vital – they are crucial in dousing flames before it gets out of control. Regular fire extinguisher maintenance of fire extinguishers is essential to ensure effectiveness in emergency situations. Fire extinguishers are highly pressurised cylinders and if corroded or damaged, can explode and cause serious injury.

Health and safety advice from governing bodies specifies that fire extinguisher maintenance should be performed annually and by a qualified person. Ensuring your fire extinguishers are always in perfect working order is the responsibility of Managing committee/owner and We ensure this procedure is simple, inexpensive and carried out with the highest level of care.
