Technical Datasheet
Clean Agent System
SPECIFICATION
APPLICATION
Heptafluoropropane (CF3 CHFCF3 ) fire suppression
agent is the first environmentally acceptable
replacement for Halon 1301. It has zero ozone
depleting potential, a low global warming potential,
and a short atmospheric lifetime. It is particularly
useful where an environmentally acceptable agent is
essential, where clean-up of other media presents a
problem, where weight versus suppression potential
is a factor, where an electrically non-conductive
medium is needed, and where people compatibility
is an overriding factor. Clean Agent can be used to
protect a wide range of applications from sensitive
electrical equipment to industrial applications
using flammable liquids. Consult the current NFPA
Standard 2001 for specific applications. Clean Agent
fire suppression agent is used with SFFECOs total
flooding systems.
DESCRIPTION
Clean Agent is an odorless, colorless, liquefied
compressed gas. (See Physical Properties Table
for additional information). It is stored as a liquid
and dispensed into the hazard as a colorless,
electrically non-conductive vapor that is clear and
does not obscure vision. It leaves no residue and
has acceptable toxicity for use in occupied spaces
at design concentration. Clean Agent extinguishes
a fire by a combination of chemical and physical
mechanisms. Clean Agent does not displace oxygen
and therefore is safe for use in occupied spaces
without fear of oxygen deprivation.
PERFORMANCE
Clean Agent can be used on many types of fires. It is
effective for many surface fires, such as flammable
liquids, and most solid combustible materials.

On a weight-of-agent basis, clean agent is a very

effective gaseous extinguishing agent. The Clean
Agent extinguishing concentration for normal Class
A combustibles is approximately 5.8 - 7% by volume.
The minimum design concentration for total flood
applications should be in accordance with NFPA
2001.

TOXICITY
The toxicology of Clean Agent compares favorable
with that of Halon 1301. The LC50 of Clean Agent
is greater than 800,000 ppm which is equivalent
to Halon 1301. Clean Agent has been evaluated for
cardiac sensitization via test protocols approved by
the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Test results show that cardiac tolerance to Clean
Agent is much higher than that of Halon 1301 and
will be acceptable for safe use in occupied space
protection. Clean Agent will decompose to form
halogen acids when exposed to open flames. The
formation of these acids is minimized by using
SFFECO early warning detection systems and proper
system installation. When properly applied and
installed, the generation of these by-products by
Clean Agent should be minimal.

Technical Datasheet
Clean Agent System
AGENT STORAGE CYLINDERS
DESCRIPTION
The Clean Agent cylinders are filled with one pound increments, as given in the
Table-1, to meet the exact amount of agent required. The quantity of agent required
for each enclosure can be calculated using SFFECO software, version SF 3.10 (or 4.0),
which contains a sophisticated calculation routine for predicting the two-phase as
well as two-component flow of agent and nitrogen through the distribution piping
network in quasi-steady state from the initiation of the discharge to final gas blow
down. The cylinder is then super-pressurized with dry nitrogen to 360 psi at 70F
to provide extinguishment in 10 seconds or less. The 4 stainless steel valve offers
excellent flow characteristics for the liquefied gas, allows for long pipe runs and has a
greater coverage area. This is the largest Clean Agent cylinder currently manufactured
and designed for very large applications. The 1200 lb, 1000 lb and 800 lb. cylinders
are manufactured, tested and stamped in accordance with DOT 4BW500.

AGENT STORAGE CYLINDERS
DESCRIPTION
The Clean Agent cylinders are manufactured, tested and stamped in accordance with DOT 4BW500 or DOT 4BA500. All cylinders
are equipped with differential pressure valve. A piston in the valve bore is equipped with a rubber seal that keeps the HFC227ea Clean Agent under pressure within the cylinder. Since the area at the top of the piston is greater than the area at the
bottom of the piston, the net force seals the piston against the valve discharge outlet. When the cylinder pressure on the top
of the piston is relieved by means of automatic or manual activation, there is only cylinder pressure acting against the piston
seal, and the piston slide to full open position, allowing cylinder discharge through the distribution piping network. Each of the
basic sizes can be filled with one pound increments to meet the exact amount of HFC-227ea Clean Agent required, within their
fill ranges as shown in the table below.

LATCHING SOLENOID WITH LOCAL MANUAL CONTROL HEAD
DESCRIPTION

LATCHING SOLENOID ACTUATOR

Latching Solenoid is used to open a Schrader valve on

the top plug adaptor of the cylinder valve. The application
provides a solution with a fast response and a high
latching force to be used with the SFFECO Clean Agent
Fire Suppression System.

FEATURES:

High latching forces

Fast response
Options
e button cap
et tool
L approved-recognized to

Tested in accordance with

It was determined that a latching solenoid with an

optional local manual control head is the best solution for
the application. The actuator is held in the latched
position without power until a signal from the agent
release control panel cuts off the permanent magnet.
When release, the latching solenoid opens the cylinder
valve allowing the extinguishing medium to discharge
from the cylinder into the system. The fast response time
allows the SFFECO 22 from the system to be released
in the event of a fire. The latching solenoid is designed
with an emergency release local manual control head to
manually force the pin to depress the cylinder valve to
release the extinguishing medium when needed. In order
to reset the system, the solenoid is to manually returned
to the latched position.

Clean Agent System
MANIFOLD CHECK VALVE
DESCRIPTION
Check Valves are used when two or more
agent storage cylinders are manifolded
together with one common discharge piping
configuration. Their purpose is to prevent the
loss of agent in the event that any of the agent
storage cylinders are not connected to the
manifold at time of system discharge and to
prevent back flow of agent into other cylinders
attached to the manifold.
All components of the Check Valves are
constructed from brass for durability and
protection against corrosion. The metal to
metal sealing area of the disc and seat is
precision lapped, providing a very tight shut-off
of both gas a
uid.

The shuttle valve contains a shuttle check that
closes off the piping to the first cylinder (main)
when empty. When the second cylinder is
discharged, the shuttle check prevents the
charge of the second cylinder into the first
empty cylinder (main) connected on the same
manifold, thus reducing unnecessary Clean
Agent loss.

LIQUID LEVEL INDICATOR (OPTIONAL)
DESCRIPTION
The
Level Indicator is a simple, manually operated device, which provides a means to determine the Clean
level in vertically mounted agent storage containers. Once the
level is determined, it can then be
Agent
converted into the weight of Clean Agent present in the agent storage container .
OPERATION

A magnet e
float moves with the
level along the unit stem. Level readout
is obtained by simply removing the protective cap and pulling out a calibrated tape until
magnetic interlock with the float is felt. With the tape in this position, the reading is
obtained at the point where the tape emerges from the unit housing.

When the
is determined, the reading is then referred to a chart in the
Engineering Manual and the corresponding weight of Clean Agent is determined.
Accurate readings can be obtained over a
temperature range.

FEATURES
Reduced Maintenance Time - Weight in an agent storage container
can be determined in a fraction of the time it would take to remove and
weigh them.
