Pre-Engineered Systems
Fire protection made easy. These units are pre-engineered with one or more extinguishing nozzels. A series of these units can be arranged in combination strategically located and operating simultaneously. Pre-engineered system for immediate installation Easily installed and relocated Reduced pipework costs Minimum cost Effective protection
Vertically or horizontally mounted container for floor or ceiling voids
Engineered Systems
Installation to exact specifications These systems are individually designed for each customers requirement utilising Chubbs Approved Design Manual and Hydraulic Calculations Package. Individually tailored to meet exact requirements Efficient use of extinguishant Cost-effective use of pipework, layout and materials Effective Protection
Personnel Safety
150
Personnel safety in the event of discharging the FM 200 system in an emergency is safeguarded as the extinguishant has a low toxicity rating. It is safe for automatic operation in areas where staff are at work and has no adverse effect on humans at concentration of 9%. (Systems are designed for lower concentrations that 9%) Additionally, because FM 200 systems assures rapid fire knockdown, inhalation of fumes from the burning materials causing the fire are minimised and smoke build up is restricted.
Environmentally Safe
Zero ozone depletion In the past, certain gases such as Halon 1301 were utilised in systems until it was realised that they were depleting the ozone layer. Chubb Fire was the first company to withdraw from the use of these gases in their products even before the ratification of the Montreal protocol banning Halon production. FM200 extinguishant agent encompasses all the parameters of the Montreal Protocol and has zero ozone depletion rating and a short atmospheric life span.
Practical Solution
Compact Cylinder Requirement As the FM200 is a liquifiable gas, a wide range of fill ratios are available which ensures a cost-effective application of container and contents through accurate systems calculations FM200 systems incorporate advanced design criteria to increase flow and installation efficiency by 100%, giving maximum flexibility to new and retrofit installations FM200 system cylinders are only pressurised at 25 bar and can be located within the risk area without a separate cylinder room enclosure
Detection
Activation of the Chubb 200 fire system can be carried out electrically, pneumatically, or manually with either local or remote control. The system can be connected to existing detection control stations situated on site or be provided with Chubbs own detection package.
