Currently, FM200 gas fire suppression systems have been and are being widely applied and installed in many large projects in Vietnam, delivering high effectiveness. Many MIGCO customers are interested in and have questions about what FM200 gas is, the properties of Fm200 gas, and the practical applications of the FM200 fire protection system, as well as reputable suppliers of Fm200 gas in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
Migco’s accurate answers to your questions will be presented in this article.
What is FM200 gas, what kind of gas is Fm 200?
If you are looking for information to understand what FM-200 gas is, the answer is:
- FM200 gas has the scientific name Heptafluoropropane with the chemical formula CF3CHFCF3.
- It is a clean gas containing carbon, hydrogen, and fluorine elements, colorless and odorless. The molecular weight of Fm 200 gas: 170.03 g/mol
- The fm200 system is considered very safe for humans and the natural environment. When released into the air, it does not deplete the ozone layer and is particularly safe for objects because it does not harm electronic machinery.
- It does not affect human health during work, use, or contact, and is especially safe for people with respiratory diseases.
- It is a gas that leaves no residue after discharge, so there is no need for cleaning and time-consuming cleanup like when using other fire extinguishing chemicals.
- Currently, FM200 gas in the Vietnamese market is mostly used in FM200 fire suppression systems.
What are the properties of FM200 gas?
The technical specifications and properties of Fm200 gas are as follows:
- Chemical formula of FM200 gas: 1,1,1,2,3,3,3 Heptafluoropropane (CF3CHFCF3)
- Heat of vaporization at the boiling point of FM200: 132.6 kJ/kg
- Freezing point of FM200 gas: -131.1 oC
- Boiling point at 1 atm: -16 oC
- Density: 621 kg/m3
- Ozone depletion potential: 0
- Viscosity at 25 oC is 0.184 centistokes
- Lifetime in the atmosphere: (31 – 42) years
What are the applications of FM200 gas?
Currently in Vietnam, FM200 gas is mainly used in the field of fire protection. And the Fm200 gas fire suppression system is installed in projects such as:
- Central computer rooms, central control rooms (data centers, server rooms)
- Areas with many electrical and electronic devices, installation of storage and telecommunications equipment (telecom centers)
- Art galleries, museums
- Laboratories, research centers, medical equipment rooms
- High-value goods warehouses or treasury warehouses
- Fm200 gas is used for fire suppression in petrochemical plants, offshore oil and gas platforms, and oil and gas pumping stations.
Why is FM200 gas used for fire suppression?
Many people have a common question: how does Fm200 gas extinguish fires, why is Fm200 gas used for fire suppression? The answer lies in its properties and advantages in extinguishing fires, being safe for people, objects, especially electronic machinery.
Fm200 gas is filled into compressed gas cylinders to supply Fm200 systems and extinguish fires using a physical method.
When it comes into contact with fire, the FM200 gas molecules quickly absorb the heat generated by the fire, extinguishing the fire in the shortest possible time, safely for both people, belongings, equipment, and the environment, while also being cost-effective.
The activation time of the fire suppression system and the recovery time after a fire are both shortened, saving costs and minimizing potential risks and damage.
These are the reasons for the advantages of using Fm-200 gas in fire protection and why it is the preferred method for many organizations.
Where to buy FM200 gas in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi?
Due to the increasing demand for Fm200 gas cylinders, industrial gas suppliers have imported more products. In Vietnam, there are currently no domestic manufacturers, with the gas mainly imported from two major US suppliers: Chemetron and Kidde.
Both Chemetron and Kidde supply FM200 cylinders with the same chemical formula, properties, and composition. The two types only differ in commercial brand, so customers can be assured of the same quality and function.
Currently in Vietnam, Migco is a leading unit specializing in supplying FM200 gas and installing FM200 fire protection systems safely. You can get accurate price quotes for Fm200 systems, Fm-200 gas, and Fm200 cylinders by contacting our Migco hotline directly.
