Replacing halon with fm-200
If you’re building a new vessel or retrofitting a halon system on
an existing one, the best fire protection decision you can make
is to select a Gielle FM-200 Fire Suppression System.

The Gielle Marine System is the most optioned system as a
Halon replacement system. Often, the system can be dropped
into existing pipework reducing retrofit time and costs.

Halon 1301 Drop-In: The combination of the aforementioned
features allows the system to be used as a virtual “drop-in”
replacement for existing halon installations. Most changes are
limited to agent storage cylinder and nozzle replacement.


Here’s why:
- Life Safety
- Marine Approvals
- Weight
- Space


Life safety
The FM-200 clean agent works by interrupting the fire
on a molecular level, not by taking oxygen from the
protected space. So it is the preferred fire
suppression agent for protection of shipboard
spaces where crew or other occupants may be
present.


Marine Approvals
Marine Approvals. Gielle FM-200 Systems are
approved for use in marine applications such as
machinery spaces and flammable liquid storage
areas by major regulatory agencies.


Weight
Gielle FM-200 Systems weigh less than either carbon
dioxide or water mist systems. So they provide more
fuel-efficient solutions to shipboard fire protection.


Space
Gielle FM-200 Systems take up less space than other
types of fire suppression systems. This means more
room for revenue-generating cargo or passengers.


General description
The Gielle FM-200 Marine System is a clean agent
suppression system intended for use in total
flooding applications on marine vessels. Its high-
performance discharge capability is well suited to
both Halon retrofit and large hazards. Whether you’re
refitting an old halon system or building new, the
Gielle Marine System is for you.


General description
FM-200 Fire Suppression System are used to
suppress fires in specific hazards or equipment
where an electrically non-conductive agent is
required, where agent cleanup creates a problem,
where extinguishing capability with a low weight is
desired and where the hazard is normally occupied


General description
Gielle FM-200 systems are intended to protect spaces containing the
following hazards:

• Class A - surface type fires–wood or other cellulose type
material
• Class B - flammable liquids
• Class C - energized electrical equipment

The system offers versatile protection for small, medium and large
shipboard applications including machinery spaces.


Fm-200 extinguishing agent

FM-200 (1,1,1,2,3,3,3 - heptafluoropropane) is a
compound of carbon, fluorine and hydrogen
(CF3CHFCF3). It is colorless, odorless and electrically
non-conductive.

It suppresses fire by a combination of chemical and
physical mechanisms without affecting the available
oxygen. This allows personnel to see and breathe,
permitting them to leave the fire area safely.


Fm-200 system hardware
FM-200 is stored in steel cylinders superpressurized with
nitrogen to 360 psig. The cylinder valve assembly is equipped
with a supervisory pressure switch connection for monitoring
cylinder pressure. A pressure gauge and a safety disc are
fitted to the valve in accordance with DOT requirements.

Other system components include mounting brackets, control
heads, pull stations, pilot cylinders, flex hoses, discharge
delays, sirens, check valves, nozzles, etc. System controls can
be configured to comply with all marine regulatory
requirements.

Gielle - Fm-200 Fire
Extinguishing Systems
At sea, safety requirements for ships are of the
utmost importance. This also applies to fire
protection measures. After all, in the event of fire,
rapid escape is usually impossible and the prompt
arrival of help from outside cannot be expected.


In the event of a fire, the failure of machines or
devices on board a ship at sea can have fatal
consequences. In such risk areas, fire suppression
systems must put out fires quickly and residue-free,
in order to ensure that sensitive equipment is not
damaged.


Gielle - System design,
installation, service
Gielle provide the services (design and installation,
retrofit, recharge, and maintenance) necessary to
keep your Gielle system functioning properly and in
compliance with Marine fire protection regulations.
