Potential applications include:
- Electrical control rooms
- PLC and automation rooms
- Industrial server rooms and data centres
- Instrumentation and monitoring facilities
- Telecommunications rooms
- Selected enclosed process-control installations
An engineered system may include agent cylinders, detection devices, release controls, distribution piping, discharge nozzles, warning alarms, and system monitoring interfaces.
The system must be designed around the protected enclosure, including its volume, leakage, ventilation, occupancy, and required agent concentration. Appropriate personnel safety measures and pressure-relief provisions must also be considered.
3. FK-5-1-12 Gas Suppression Solutions
FK-5-1-12-based suppression systems are considered for compatible enclosed hazards where a clean extinguishing agent is required.
Potential applications include selected electrical rooms, control infrastructure, electronic equipment installations, and other appropriately designed enclosures.
