Fire Suppression with Gaseous Clean Agents

T & S specializes in engineered and pre-engineered fire suppression systems utilizing clean agents such as CO₂, FM-200, FE-13 and inergen. Our in house CAD design engineering department has been factory trained to design and install all of the above systems.

Halon 1301 production ceased on January 1, 1994. T & S immediately began selling and installing the new environmentally safe replacement agents FM-200, FE-13 and inergen. These three agents are approved for occupied areas by the EPS and NFPA 2001. T & S has always been on the cutting edge of this technology.

FM-200 Fire Suppression Systems

Clean, fast active fire protection for sensitive
industrial and commercial facilities. FM-200 is
one of the new halon replacement agents now
in use to protect essential applications tradition-
ally protected by Halon 1301. This agent has many
similar characteristics to Halon 1301 and is safe
in normally occupied areas. T & S has been selling
FM-200 since its inception in 1993 and today we

are installing KIDDE FM-200 systems throughout North Carolina,
South Carolina, Virginia and several other states. KIDDE FM-200
systems are available in vertical or horizontal cylinders and can be
designed as pre-engineered or more commonly engineered systems.

HOW DOES IT PROTECT A FACILITY?

KIDDE detector senses a fire.
KIDDE control panel sounds alarm, shuts down equipment,
activates the KIDDE FM-200 system.
FM-200 is released from the cylinders through piping and
out nozzles into the protected area.
In ten (10) seconds or less the protected area reaches a
concentration level of FM-200 (7% by design) that will not
support combustion.

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂ ) Fire Suppression Systems

KIDDE clean agent carbon dioxide systems have been an industry standard for many decades and are still the preferred agent in many applications:

Dip tanks
Quench tanks
Industrial operations where spilled fuel is a possibility
Marine engine compartments
Steel manufacturing
Press operations

Also for many other areas requiring large quantities of extinguishing agent.

FE-13 Fire Suppression Systems

Due to its low boiling point, FE-13 can be used in temperatures as low as -40º F. Some typical applications include:

Industrial high ceiling spaces
Locomotives
Mining equipment
Offshore oil platforms
Oil and gas processing facilities
Pumping stations
Refinery control areas
Turbine enclosures
Unheated storage areas

O. CONTACTS SUPERVISED ABORT CIRCUIT COMPATIBLE WITH FENWAL CPD / PSD SERIES SMOKE DETECTORS

Description

This SCORPIO Control Panel is a low cost, versatile, single hazard control unit which supervises one KIDDE fire suppression system. Incorporation of the state-of-the-art microprocessor technology provides increased reliability and programmable flexibility. The control unit is compatible with all KIDDE suppression systems. It meets requirements of NFPA 72 and is UL listed per standard 864. The control unit is approved for use in suppression systems covered by NFPA codes 12, 12A, 17, and 2001.

This unit features the ability of mixing smoke and contact type detectors on the same Initiating circuit, simplifying installation and reducing installation costs. The control unit has two independent Class "B" Initiating circuits. A total of 15 FENWAL smoke detectors can be connected to each of the control units two Initiating circuits. Contact type devices such as FENWAL's DETECT-A-FIRE® heat detectors may also be connected to the same circuit Total lead resistance of 50 Ohms allows extended detection circuit wire runs.

The unit may be programmed to activate its output functions on a single zone or crossed zoned input status alarm allowing flexibility for use in various types of applications. Field programmable time delays of 0, 10, 20 or 30 seconds allow the installer to select the appropriate time delay for the application.

The control unit provides a single "Y" supervised alarm output circuit for operating polarized signaling devices. The output circuit is programmed to pulse on first alarm and go to steady on second alarm and release condition. An independent Form "C" dry contact is associated with each of the two alarm levels.

The control unit drives control head operated release valve so the unit can be used with the Engineered and Pre-Engineered extinguishing systems. The release circuit will activate either of the following 24 VDC control heads.

Gemini
Suppression Control System

*Features*
UL LISTED FM APPROVED NFPA 72 CSFM #7165-1076:100	SINGLE OR MULTIPLE HAZARD PROTECTION CLASS A OR B OPERATION MODULAR DESIGN PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS

Description

Kidde's Gemini Controls Suppression Control System is a complete, self- contained control unit designed specifically for Kidde Fire Suppression Systems. Its modular design can accommodate from 1 to 4 independent suppression systems.

In its simplest configuration, the system provides input and output functions to protect one hazard area. Additional hazard areas can be protected by adding detection circuit or suppression control boards. All detection zones are field selectable for Class A or Class B supervision of field wiring. The suppression control sequence is programmable, providing flexibility for a wide variety of applications.

Power supplies are available in 2.75 and 4 Amp versions, and can be added to the system for up to 8 Amps capacity at 24 VDC.

Auxiliary relay boards can be added easily to the system for additional control functions such as HVAC shutdown and door holder release. The following components are available for the Gemini Controls Suppression Control System.

T & S provides quality Wet Chemical systems by KIDDE / Fenwal and Pyro-Chem

WET CHEMICAL
Fire Suppression Systems

Kidde's flexible pre-engineered design concept, coupled with the widest array of cylinder sizes n the industry, enable Kidde engineers to offer the most effective, efficient protection for every type of cooking appliance... fryers, range tops, griddles, broilers, woks as well as hood and duct systems

INDUSTRIAL DRY CHEMICAL
Fire Protection Systems

Industrial systems are commonly installed for the protection of paint spray booths, dip tanks, pumps and other industrial equipment. Most systems of this type feature either Purple-K dry chemical, ABC dry chemical or regular BC dry chemical.

INERGEN
Fire Suppression Systems

Description

INERGEN agent is a mixture of three naturally occurring gases: nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide. As INERGEN agent is derived from gases present in the earth’s atmosphere, it exhibits no ozone depleting potential, does not contribute to global warming, nor does it contribute unique chemical species with extended atmospheric lifetimes. Because INERGEN agent is composed of atmospheric gases, it does not pose the problems of toxicity associated with the chemically derived Halon alternative agents.

INERGEN agent has also been tested by FMRC for inerting capabilities. Those tests have shown that INERGEN agent, at design concentrations between 40% and 50%, has successfully inerted mixtures of propane/air, and methane/air.

When INERGEN agent is discharged into a room, it introduces the proper mixture of gases that will allow a person to breathe in a reduced oxygen atmosphere.
