Introduced to the market in 2004 by Fike, ECARO-25 is an electrically non-conductive, non-corrosive fire suppression agent. The agent is free of residue and has a zero ozone-depletion potential.
The ECARO-25 fire suppression system requires 20 & fewer agents per cubic foot than an HFC-227 ea or FM-200 system and 30% less than FK-5-1-12 Systems.
Efficiency
ECARO-25 is 15% more efficient in hold time than an HFC-227 ea or FM-200 fire suppression system, and 25% more efficient than an FK-5-1-12 system. To suppress a fire, the agent relies upon its ability to absorb the heat energy from the combustion reaction at the molecular level.
The agent also forms free radicals that chemically interfere with the chain reaction of the combustion process. Stored in a sealed cylinder in a liquid state, ECARO-25 discharges through nozzles attached to a pipe network. The agent is activated by a comprehensive control system of detectors and pull stations.
ECARO-25 Superior Features
ECARO-25 is 15% more efficient in hold time than an HFC-227 ea or FM-200 fire suppression system
In addition, the superior physical properties of ECARO-25 allow us to utilize small-diameter piping over long distances. Because of this, the clean agent pipe network design is much easier and less expensive.
ECARO-25 is 15% more efficient in hold time than an HFC-227 ea or FM-200 fire suppression system. The agent is 25% more efficient than an FK-5-1-12 system. ECARO-25 does not displace oxygen and is safe for use in occupied spaces without fear of oxygen deprivation.
Applications
Typical applications include computer rooms, record & data archive vaults, control rooms, media storage, clean rooms, art / historic collections, and many more.
The ECARO-25 agent and associated system components are UL Listed and FM-approved. SSI offers ECARO-25 clean agent fire suppression through our quality line of Fike suppression system products.
