I believe those who work in enterprise safety have heard of the fire extinguisher heptafluoropropane. So, what kind of fire extinguishing agent is heptafluoropropane? At room temperature, heptafluoropropane is a colorless, odorless, non-conductive fire extinguishing agent that can be stored in low-pressure liquefaction. It is known as FM-200 in foreign countries and is suitable for total flooding fire extinguishing systems. This type of fire extinguishing agent belongs to chemical fire extinguishing, with minimal physical effects such as cooling, dilution, or air isolation, and will not damage the ozone layer of the atmosphere. Therefore, it has been widely used in various industries at home and abroad.
What are the control methods of heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing system?
Industry insiders say that there are generally three control functions, namely automatic control, manual control, and mechanical emergency start.
1. Automatic control refers to placing the automatic control mode on the fire extinguisher in the "automatic" position. Once a fire occurs in the fire zone, the signal can be transmitted to the controller, which will immediately sound an alarm.
2. Manual control refers to setting the control key to the "manual" position. Once a fire occurs in the protected area, the detector will detect the fire information. At this time, the controller will generate alarm signals such as sound and light. However, the on duty personnel need to confirm the fire before pressing the emergency start button. At this time, heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing agent can be released to extinguish the fire.
3. Another way to start heptafluoropropane is mechanical emergency start. Once a fire occurs in the protected area and the control system fails to start, it is necessary to confirm the fire alarm with the on duty personnel before initiating emergency response. Simply press the manual button with the vehicle to start the fire extinguishing system.
What places can heptafluoropropane be used in general?
In China, it is often used in various important places such as power, water conservancy, metallurgy, banking, and civil aviation systems. It can also be used in dangerous places such as computer rooms and communication rooms where there are many flammable and combustible electrical appliances and fires are prone to occur.
Heptafluoropropane is a fire extinguishing agent that can be used for liquefied storage. It has both physical and chemical effects, and its chemical effect is that it can inert the active free radicals in the flame, thus achieving chain breaking fire extinguishing. Its physical function is to rapidly cool the flame temperature during the vaporization stage of molecules, which can reduce the concentration of oxygen in the combustion zone and ultimately achieve fire extinguishing.
