Fire Protection for Data Centres

The Kidde ECS Series FM-200 Fire Suppression System combines rapid detection with integrated control and clean fire suppression to provide automatic 24/7 protection. High sensitivity smoke detection provides an extra margin of time to facility managers to investigate the fire event in its earliest stages and often prevent the need for the suppression system activation. It’s backed by a network of intelligent detectors and a multiprocessor-based control unit to sound alarms and trigger the release of FM-200, a clean, non-toxic, environmentally-friendly gaseous agent into the protected enclosure.

The Kidde Engineered System Designed for use with 3M Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid provides clean fire protection that is safe for people and the environment. There’s zero Ozone Depletion Potential and the lowest Global Warming Potential of any halon replacement agent. The Kidde System is also engineered to discharge within ten seconds to stop fires before they can damage sensitive equipment, destroy data or cause major business interruption.

Inert gas fire suppression systems use naturally occurring gases like nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide to extinguish fires by reducing the oxygen concentration in a protected area. These systems are environmentally friendly, safe for humans, and cause minimal damage to equipment.
