Fire Suppression Clean Agent Systems for Marine Fire Safety typically include the following key specifications and technical properties:
Size: Varies based on vessel size; common cylinder sizes range from 45L to 180L.
Grade: Meets ISO 14520, NFPA 2001, and IMO MSC/Circ. 848 standards.
Viscosity: Low viscosity for rapid dispersion (similar to gases like HFC-227ea or FK-5-1-12).
Buoyancy: Non-buoyant; agents are stored under pressure in fixed cylinders.
Material: Cylinders made of high-strength steel or aluminum; piping from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel.
Agent Type: Clean agents such as FM-200, Novec 1230, or CO2 (for specific applications).
Operating Pressure: Typically 25-42 bar (varies by agent and system design).
Discharge Time: ≤10 seconds for full suppression.
Environmental Impact: Zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and low GWP (Global Warming Potential).
Temperature Range: -40°C to +60°C for storage and operation.
