    FM-200 and CO2 Calculation Sheet, August 10, 07

    Uploaded by

    This document contains calculations for fire suppression systems for a service room. It calculates the required amount of FM-200 and CO2 needed to flood the room based on its volume. For the FM-200 system, it determines that 18 lbs of agent is needed from a 17 lb cylinder, with 1 discharge nozzle required. It also checks that the room concentration would be acceptable. For the CO2 system, it calculates 431 kg of CO2 is needed and that 10 cylinders of the recommended 45 kg size would be required.

    The documents provide calculations for fire suppression systems using FM-200 and CO2 as suppression agents. FM-200 calculations are shown for a typical floor of a building, while CO2 calculations are demonstrated for a room of a certain volume.

    Calculations are shown for determining the amount of FM-200 and CO2 agents needed, the number of discharge nozzles or cylinders required, and checking the room concentration for FM-200.

    FM-200 and CO2 are the two agents being considered for fire suppression in the examples provided.

    FM-200 Calculation Sheet

    Project Name: Alghaith Tower


    Space Name: Typical Floor 4-6 (Service Room TYP-004)

    1- Total Flooding System

    W = V/S*{C/(100-C)}

    Where:
    W = weight of clean agent [Ib (kg)].
    V = net volume of hazard [ft3 (m3).
    S = specific volume of the superheated agent vapor at 1 atmosphere and the temperature, t [ft3/Ib (m3/kg)].
    (NFPA 2001, edition 2000, item 3-5.1)

    S = 2.2075 (ft3/Ib) at t = 70 (Fo)


    (NFPA 2001, edition 2000, Appendix A, table A-3-5.1(k))

    Input Data

    V= 12.3 m3
    V= 434 ft3
    S= 2.2075 If the room temp. will be not be less than 20oC
    ###
    Output Data ###
    W= 18 Ib ###
    8 kg ###

    The Required Cylinders Capacity (Ib.) ###
    SUM

    Required No. of discharge nozzle ###
    ###
    Agent flow rate = W/t ###
    Where t = maximum discharge time (10 sec.) ###

    Agent flow rate = 1.7 lb/sec

    Required No. of discharge nozzle = Total flow rate / average flow rate per nozzle (20 Ib / Sec.)

    Required No. of discharge nozzle = 1

    Check the Room Concentration


    Check for t = 90 (oF)

    Co2 Calculation Sheet

    1- Total Flooding System

    CO2 quantity = Hazard remote volume (V) x Flooding Factor

    Where:
    Flooding Factor for room volume less than 56.6m3 the flooding factor should be 1.6kg CO2/m3
    , and for room volume greater than 56.6m3 the flooding factor should be 1.33kg CO2/m3

    (NFPA 12, Table 2-4.2.1 )

    Input Data

    V= 324 m3
    V= 11442 ft3
    Flooding Factor= 1.33

    Output Data
    CO2 Quantity 431 kg

    The Required Number of Cylinders 10 Based on the recommended cylinder size is 45 kg


    e 1.6kg CO2/m3

    mmended cylinder size is 45 kg
