Gas Suppression System HFC-227ea

Gas Suppression System HFC-227ea

HFC-227ea is a clean agent fire suppressant that is commonly used on ships. It is a colorless, odorless gas that is non-toxic and non-corrosive, making it safe for use in enclosed spaces. HFC-227ea is also known as heptafluoropropane and has a chemical formula of C3HF7.

This fire suppressant works by removing heat from the fire and suppressing the chemical chain reaction that sustains it. HFC-227ea is effective at extinguishing Class A, B, and C fires, which involve combustible materials such as wood, fuel, and electrical equipment.

One of the main advantages of HFC-227ea is that it does not leave any residue or water damage, which is particularly important on ships where electrical systems and other equipment must be protected. It also has a low level of toxicity and does not deplete the earth's ozone layer, making it a more environmentally friendly option than some other types of fire suppressants.

In addition to its use on ships, HFC-227ea is also used in other applications where clean agent fire suppression is required, such as computer rooms, data centers, and museums. Its effectiveness, safety, and environmental benefits make it a popular choice for fire suppression on a variety of vessels, including cargo ships, cruise ships, and yachts.
