A professional fire protection company will need to refill and recharge your FM-200 system. FM-200 is a clean agent gas that is discharged through your system to quickly put out a fire without the water damage that could come with a fire sprinkler system—especially in a room of computers, archives, etc.

Licensed fire protection companies can refill your system with the gas used in the system and check for any need for repair or maintenance on your system.

While FM-200 is safe for humans when discharged, has no ozone depleting properties, and is the most effective, cleanest fire suppression system available, you will still need to contact a professional. Because the equipment operates under extremely high pressure, it can be dangerous for someone who is not properly trained. Attempting to adjust or disassemble the pressurized equipment yourself is not only dangerous, but it can also tamper with how the system will operate and help protect from a fire.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a clean agent is an electrically non-conducting, volatile, or gaseous fire extinguishant that does not leave a residue upon evaporation. A clean agent fire suppression system uses either a chemical or inert gas to suppress a fire at the inception stage before it can grow and is incredibly effective in extinguishing Class A, B, and C fires.

Clean agent fire suppression systems are safe to use in occupied spaces, require no clean up after discharge, and are environmentally friendly with a short to no atmospheric lifetime and a low Global Warming Potential (GWP). Systems are designed around providing total flood protection for small enclosed areas or entire rooms containing sensitive documents or equipment. 

Types of clean agent fire suppression systems

The most common types of clean agent systems use chemical agents like FM-200™ (HFC-227ea) and 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid or inert gases, which are made up of gases like nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide. All clean agents are stored as either a gas or liquid, and when the system activates, it releases the clean agent as a gas to suppress the fire. Upon discharge, the clean agent removes or disrupts one of three elements needed to sustain a fire – heat, oxygen, or the fuel source. Most clean agent fire suppression systems reach extinguishing concentration levels in just 10 seconds or less, making them highly efficient in suppressing a fire before significant damage can be done. Because clean agents quickly evaporate, there is minimal downtime as no clean-up is required.

When it comes to clean agent fire suppression system costs, 3M Novec 1230 fluid and FM-200TM will be more cost-effective over other gaseous systems because less agent is needed to suppress the fire, requiring smaller storage cylinders. In comparing 3M Novec 1230 fluid and FM-200TM, 3M Novec 1230 fluid is slightly more expensive of the two chemical agents.

Of the three clean agents, inert gas is the most environmentally friendly with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (OPD) and zero GWP. While both 3M Novec 1230 fluid and FM-200TM have a zero ODP, 3M Novec 1230 fluid is considered to be more environmentally friendly because of its lower GWP of 1.  

Clean agent fire suppression systems protect valuable assets and equipment when traditional fire sprinkler systems using water or foam would create as much, if not more, damage than the fire. Some typical applications and areas protected by clean agent systems include:

• CNC and EDM machines
• Electrical cabinets and panels
• Components within the nacelle of a wind turbine
• Data storage and telecommunications systems
• Record/file repositories and libraries
• Museums, artwork, and other culturally significant assets
