Fire suppression systems are used to extinguish, control, or in some cases, entirely prevent fires from spreading or occurring. Fire suppression systems have an incredibly large variety of applications, and as such, there are many different types of suppression systems for different applications being used today. Of these, there are some that are still in use but are no longer legal to manufacture and produce.[1]
Suppression systems[edit]Fire suppression systems are governed by the codes under the National Fire Protection Association, also known as the NFPA. This organization writes codes, regulations, and recommendations on the proper installation and maintenance of these fire suppression systems. Likewise, the NFPA also lists criteria that must be met for the requirements of certain types of fire suppression systems.[2]

Key Characteristics of Clean Agent Fire Suppression
Non-Residue Forming: Unlike traditional systems that use water or powder, clean agents leave no residue after discharge. This is crucial in environments such as data centers, telecommunication rooms, museums, and laboratories, where equipment, documents, and other valuable assets cannot be exposed to water or debris.
Speed: Clean agents work rapidly, typically within 10 seconds, to suppress fires in their early stages. The quick action helps minimize fire damage and prevent the spread of the fire.
Safe for Occupied Spaces: Many clean agents, including FM-200 and Novec 1230, are safe for use in occupied space.
Environmentally Friendly: Many modern clean agents are zero ozone-depleting, and several have low global warming potential (GWP) compared to older agents like Halon. This makes them a more sustainable choice in accordance with global environmental standards.
Fast Discharge: Clean agents are discharged quickly to suppress a fire, typically through a gas release from high-pressure cylinders. The agent is distributed via nozzles located around the protected area.
Clean agent fire suppression systems work through two main mechanisms:
Cooling the Fire: Clean agents absorb heat from the fire, lowering the temperature and preventing combustion from continuing.
Interrupting the Chemical Chain Reaction: Clean agents interrupt the chemical reactions in the fire, particularly the free radicals that are essential to the combustion process. This stops the fire from sustaining itself.
The rapid cooling and interruption of the fire process helps to extinguish fires faster than traditional methods.
Common Types of Clean Agent Fire Suppression Systems
FM-200 (HFC-227ea):
FM-200 is one of the most commonly used clean agents for fire suppression. It is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) that works by cooling the fire and interrupting the chemical reaction of the fire.
FM-200 is known for being safe for people and environmentally friendly (it has low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and zero ozone depletion).
It's commonly used in data centers, electrical rooms, telecommunication facilities, and museum collections.
Novec 1230:
Novec 1230 is a fluorinated ketone that works by absorbing heat from the fire. It's considered one of the safest and most environmentally friendly agents available.
Novec 1230 has zero ozone depletion potential and extremely low global warming potential.
It has a lower discharge concentration than FM-200, making it especially safe for occupied areas.
Novec 1230 is often used in data centers, museum installations, libraries, and telecommunication rooms.
FK-5-1-12 (FM-550):
FK-5-1-12 is another fluoroketone-based agent, similar to Novec 1230. It works similarly by absorbing heat and disrupting the chemical chain reaction in the fire.
It has zero ozone depletion potential and a low global warming potential, making it environmentally friendly.
FK-5-1-12 is safe for use in occupied spaces and is commonly used in data centers, telecommunications facilities, and clean rooms.

Local application
As the name implies, local application systems discharge extinguishing agent, so the burning object is surrounded locally by a high concentration of agent to extinguish the fire. A local application system is often required because the enclosure itself is not suitable for a total flooding system. This means that when the protected object is not enclosed the discharge nozzles and rate of application must be capable of enveloping the object, which requires more agent to be discharged. The agent supply needs to be sufficient to maintain flow for the required time of protection, which is typically several minutes. Nozzle design is also critical, and the application design parameters must be determined by testing.
Total flooding
As the name suggests, total flooding systems discharge extinguishing agent throughout an entire space to suppress the fire. To do this, the gaseous agent must be introduced into the space and mix with the air in that space at a concentration that is specific to the particular gas chosen as well as the fuel class being protected. Specifics of this can be found in the standard related the appropriate type of agent.
An important concept to understand when it comes to total flooding clean agent systems is that these extinguishing agents needs to reduce the oxygen available for combustion to below the threshold where it would occur and hold it there until the items involved cool below their auto ignition temperature. If the concentration were to disperse prior to the items cooling enough the fire could reignite.
Since the agent needs to maintain a certain concentration for a period of time to suppress a fire it is important that the room air-tight enough to maintain concentrations for the minimum hold times.
Clean agent systems, utilizing halocarbon agents, inert gases, or CO2, offer targeted fire suppression without damaging sensitive equipment, vital for protecting high-value assets like historical artifacts or electronics.
Activation is initiated by fire detection through a suppression releasing panel, ensuring timely response with options for manual activation and abort switches for false alarms.
