Clean-Agent Suppression
FM-200 fire suppression systems
FM-200 is a clean fire-suppression agent used in selected protected spaces where rapid fire suppression and minimal residue are important considerations.
Clean Agent
Suppression without the clean-up.
Clean-agent suppression is often considered where residue from an extinguishing medium could create additional equipment or operational concerns — server rooms, control rooms and other spaces built around sensitive equipment.
Protected Space
Designed around a defined space.
An FM-200 system protects a defined space. The room, its contents and its construction shape the system design — agent quantity, distribution and discharge arrangements are all engineered per project rather than taken from a standard sheet.
How The System Operates
Detection decides. The agent responds.
-
Detect
Detection identifies the fire condition in the space.
-
Control
The control arrangement manages activation.
-
Warning
Occupants are warned per the system design.
-
Suppress
FM-200 discharges into the protected space.
System architecture varies by equipment and project design.
-
01
Detection & Control
The system operates with fire detection and a control arrangement that manages activation and warning.
-
02
Agent Storage
The FM-200 agent is stored in containers arranged per the system design.
-
03
Distribution Network
Piping distributes the agent from storage to the protected space per the design.
-
04
Discharge Devices
Discharge devices release the agent into the protected space.
-
05
Alarm & Warning
Warning arrangements alert occupants in relation to discharge, per the system design.
Application Considerations
Selected protected spaces.
- Server and IT equipment rooms
- Communication and control rooms
- Rooms with sensitive electronic equipment
- Selected protected spaces with critical assets or records
Design-Dependent
Every value comes from the design.
Agent quantities, discharge arrangements and space requirements for an FM-200 system depend on the protected space, the selected equipment and the applicable design considerations. STARLION confirms these per project — starting from a site survey, not a brochure.
Our Approach
Assess. Specify. Install. Support.
-
01
Assess
We begin by understanding the facility, the requirement and the protection need.
-
02
Specify
We identify the equipment or system appropriate to the application.
-
03
Install
We supply and implement the agreed solution.
-
04
Support
We provide servicing, maintenance and technical support where required.
Ready-state depends on maintenance.
Storage, distribution, detection and control all need ongoing support to keep a suppression system service-ready — see fire system maintenance.
FM-200 questions.
What is an FM-200 fire suppression system?
A fixed suppression system that uses FM-200, a clean fire-suppression agent, in selected protected spaces where rapid fire suppression and minimal residue are important considerations.
Where may clean-agent suppression be considered?
Clean-agent suppression is often considered where residue from an extinguishing medium could create additional equipment or operational concerns — such as rooms with sensitive electronic equipment. Whether it suits a specific space is a per-project design decision.
Does an FM-200 system work with fire detection?
Yes. FM-200 systems operate with fire detection and a control arrangement that manages activation and occupant warning — detection is part of how the system works.
