What Are IG-541 and HFC-227ea (FK-5112)?
IG-541
IG-541 is an inert gas mixture comprising 52% nitrogen, 40% argon, and 8% carbon dioxide. It works by reducing the oxygen levels in the protected area, suppressing combustion without compromising the safety of occupants.
HFC-227ea
HFC-227ea (also known as FK-5112 or Heptafluoropropane) is a synthetic chemical agent that extinguishes fires primarily by absorbing heat. It is widely recognized for its fast action and suitability for protecting sensitive environments.
How Clean Agent Suppression Works
Fire Detection
The system continuously monitors the area for fire hazards using advanced smoke and heat detectors.
System Activation
Upon detection of a fire, the system releases either IG-541 or HFC-227ea into the protected area.
Fire Suppression
IG-541 works by displacing oxygen levels to below 15%, a level where combustion is not sustainable, effectively extinguishing the fire. HFC-227ea absorbs the heat from the fire, cooling the flames and stopping the combustion process.
Minimal Damage
The agents are non-conductive and do not corrode or harm sensitive electronics, making them ideal for critical infrastructure and equipment protection.
Key Features
Rapid Fire Suppression
Both agents provide quick and efficient suppression, reacting within seconds of fire detection.
No Residue
These clean agents leave no residues behind, ensuring that sensitive equipment remains unaffected after activation.
Safe for Sensitive Equipment
Ideal for protecting data centers, IT rooms, archives, and more, without the risk of damage from suppression agents.
Environmentally Responsible
IG-541 is a natural, non-toxic gas with no ozone depletion potential (ODP) or global warming potential (GWP). HFC-227ea is engineered to be eco-friendly, with a low GWP and no ODP.
Safe for Occupants
Both agents are safe for use in areas where people may be present, allowing for safe evacuation during fire suppression.
Fast Reset
Clean-up and system reset are quick, minimizing downtime and disruption after an event.
Applications
Data Centers, Telecommunication Rooms, Archives and Libraries, Healthcare Facilities, Power Generation Plants, Laboratories, Art Galleries and Museums, Clean Rooms.
Benefits
Fast and Reliable Suppression
Both agents act rapidly to extinguish fires at their earliest stage, minimizing the risk of spread and damage.
Protects High-Value Assets
These clean agents are non-damaging to delicate equipment, making them ideal for environments where traditional suppression methods could cause costly damage.
Environmentally Friendly
IG-541 consists of naturally occurring gases and has no adverse environmental effects. HFC-227ea is a chemical agent with low environmental impact.
Compliant with Global Standards
Both IG-541 and HFC-227ea systems comply with international fire safety standards, including UL, FM, NFPA, and ISO regulations.
