Clean Agent Suppression Systems using Novec 1230 Fluid |
Description
3M™
Novec™ 1230 fire protection fluid is a next generation clean agent Halon
alternative. It combines outstanding extinguishing performance with an excellent
environmental profile. Novec 1230 fire protection fluid has zero ozone depletion
potential, a global warming potential of one, a five day atmospheric lifetime,
and a large margin of safety for occupied spaces. Novec 1230 fire protection
fluid extinguishes fire primarily by removing heat from the fire. It is also
electrically non-conductive. The following datasheets offer more information on the specific fire suppression systems
utilizing Novec 1230 fire protection fluid that are available from Janus Fire Systems.

| FM-200 Suppression Systems |
Description
FM-200® is a clean, colorless, and environmentally friendly fire suppression agent that is electrically non-conductive and safe for humans. It extinguishes flames primarily through heat absorption, leaving no residue, thus minimizing downtime after a fire and making FM-200 suppression systems accepted and respected worldwide with over one hundred thousand installations in more than seventy countries. The following datasheets offer more information on the specific FM-200 fire suppression systems available from Janus Fire Systems.

| Carbon
Dioxide Suppression Systems |
Description
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless, and chemically inert gas that is both readily available and electrically non-conductive. It extinguishes fire primarily by lowering the level of oxygen that supports combustion in a protected area. This mechanism of fire suppression makes CO2 suppression systems highly effective, requiring minimal clean-up, but should be used in normally unoccupied hazard locations or otherwise avoided by personnel when discharged. CO2 suppression systems may utilize the gas through a total flooding approach but
carbon dioxide is also the only gaseous agent that may be utilized through local application.
Carbon dioxide may be stored in either high pressure spun steel cylinders
(HPCO2 suppression systems) or low pressure light wall refrigerated tanks (LPCO2
suppression systems). The following datasheets offer more information on the
specific carbon dioxide fire suppression systems available from Janus Fire
Systems.

Description
Fire suppression foam is comprised of three parts: foam concentrate, water, and air. When mixed correctly, these parts form a homogenous foam blanket that extinguishes flames by the combined mechanisms of cooling, separating the flame source from the product surface, suppressing vapors, and smothering. This makes foam suppression systems an effective option for protecting flammable and combustible liquids.

Vortex™ Suppression Systems |
Description
A Vortex™ system
is a hybrid water/inert gas system that combines
the best of inert gas and water mist fire suppression systems. Nitrogen and
water are simultaneously discharged from a single emitter, atomizing the water
to less than 10 μm and forming a dense homogenous suspension of nitrogen
and water. This suspension then suppresses fire utilizing two mechanisms
simultaneously: cooling and flame extinguishment. A Vortex system uses
88% less water per nozzle per minute than high-pressure water mist
systems. The result is a system that is
environmentally friendly, safe for humans, achieves full fire suppression with
minimal wetting, and does not require room integrity.

| Water Based Suppression Systems |
Description
Water based suppression systems utilize the inexpensive and readily available medium of water to douse flames through a normally fixed pipe system. The system attaches a reliable water supply to an automatically or manually actuated system valve that initiates the flow of water through spray nozzles arranged and designed specifically for each individual protected area.

Description
The tasks of monitoring a facility or application for potential fire threats or activating a releasing system are facilitated by a fire alarm control panel.
The control panel processes fire detection signals from protected areas and immediately performs key operations, including sounding alarms, shutting down equipment, and releasing fire suppression systems. The control panel is supplemented with the use of detectors and manual stations, as well as audible and visual notification devices.
These systems are supervised to ensure circuit integrity. In addition the control panels are supplied with battery backup in the event of power loss.
