So given a very large air handler room full of air handler equipment, say 1000 sq ft,
Would you agree with Dupont that FM200 can protect the room???
. How can I be sure a DuPont™ FM-200® system is the right strategy for my application?
If your application is an ordinary combustible, electrical, or flammable liquid fire, then a DuPont™ FM-200® system is most likely right for you. The more valuable the assets you wish to protect (including people), the more sense it makes to use a DuPont™ FM-200® waterless fire protection system. There are a few instances where a DuPont™ FM-200® system would not be the right choice for fire suppression. Applications not appropriate for a DuPont™ FM-200® system include:
Applications involving chemicals that are capable of self-oxidizing or generating their own oxygen even without the presence of air, such as gunpowder and cellulose nitrate; or compounds that are very unstable and can spontaneously combust, such as hydrazine (rocket fuel) and many peroxides. Processing facilities or areas using pure powdered forms of metals. Fires fueled by reactive metals such as lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, titanium, zirconium, metal hydrides, and the radioactive elements uranium and plutonium require a different extinguishing strategy.
Other applications where questionable chemicals are part of the fire hazard.
