FES System
An engineered system utilizing a fixed nozzle agent distribution network, the system is designed and installed in accordance with the IMO FSS CODE (SOLAS, IMO MSC/ Circ.1267 “Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems”).
When properly designed, the FK-5-1-12 fire extinguishant system will suppress surface burning fire in Class A, B, and C hazards.
80% of FK-5-1-12 fire extinguishant fire fighting effectiveness is achieved through heat absorption and 20% through direct chemical means (action of the fluorine radical on the chain reaction of a flame.
Complete suppression using FK-5-1-12 fire extinguishant has the following advantages:
The low concentration of FK-5-1-12 fire extinguishant required means less visual obscurity and minimal risk to personnel.
The small quantity of agent discharged minimizes over-pressurization of the protected area.
Maximum safety for personnel due to low toxicity.
The ability to prevent re-ignition as long as concentration levels are maintained.
