HFC 227ea is the clean agent Chemours sells as FM-200. Stored as a liquid under nitrogen pressure, it is discharged as a gas within 10 seconds, puts the fire out without wetting or marking anything, and is cleared afterwards by ventilation. FPS supplies, installs and services HFC 227ea room, rack and panel systems from Ceasefire, Kanex and Honeywell in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh.

| Inside an electrical panel | In-panel HFC 227ea systems |
| First response at the door | Ceasefire HFC 227ea extinguisher |
Detectors in the room, often cross zoned so that two must agree, signal the gas release panel. The panel sounds the alarm and counts down so people can leave, then opens the cylinder valves. The agent flows through the pipes, leaves the nozzles as a gas and reaches extinguishing levels within 10 seconds.
HFC 227ea (heptafluoropropane) puts the fire out mainly by taking heat out of it, at a concentration that leaves enough oxygen in the room. It is non conductive and leaves no residue, so servers, panels and papers come through without damage.
HFC 227ea is an HFC, a group of gases being phased down worldwide under the Kigali Amendment because of their effect on the climate. It remains in use and in supply, but if you are planning a new room, also look at FK-5-1-12 or inert gas.
Ceasefire stores HFC 227ea as a liquid pressurised with nitrogen and releases it through a piping network and nozzles, reaching extinguishing levels in 10 seconds or less. Honeywell offers its system at 25 and 42 bar, super pressurised with dry nitrogen, and lists NFPA 2001 and PESO. Kanex designs engineered systems for HFC 227ea or FK-5-1-12, with multi zone layouts and the UL and FM approvals it lists.
| Model | Agent, release and approvals |
|---|---|
| Ceasefire HFC 227ea Total Flooding Fire Suppression System | HFC 227ea, Total flooding, 10 seconds or less, Clean agent |
| Kanex Clean Agent Total Flooding System (HFC 227ea or FK-5-1-12) | HFC 227ea or FK-5-1-12, Engineered total flooding, Room protection, UL and FM listed |
| Honeywell HFC-227ea Clean Agent Fire Suppression System (25 and 42 bar) | HFC-227ea, Clean agent, 25 and 42 bar, Nitrogen pressurised |
Room flooding system that stores HFC 227ea as a liquid pressurised with nitrogen and releases it through a piping network and nozzles when detectors alert the control panel. It reaches extinguishing levels in 10 seconds or less and leaves no residue.
Engineered total flooding systems that fill a room with HFC 227ea or FK-5-1-12 to put out a fire without wetting or contaminating equipment. Designed for server rooms, data centres and other areas where water would cause as much loss as the fire.
Sizes: 25 Bar, 42 Bar
A high-pressure clean agent system, super-pressurised with dry nitrogen and discharged as a vapour into the protected area within 10 seconds. It suits occupied areas and critical installations with electrical or electronic fire risks.
The Ceasefire SQRS fits inside a server rack with two photoelectric smoke detectors, the controls, an HFC 227ea cylinder and an alarm, and reaches extinguishing levels in 10 seconds or less. The Kanex direct low pressure panel and rack system offers HFC 227ea among its agents.
Sizes: 1.5 Zp Cubic Meter, 3.0 Zp Cubic Meter
Modular HFC 227ea suppression unit built to fit inside a server rack, with detectors, controls, agent cylinder and alarm packed together. The optional IP module lets you check system health on a computer or phone and receive email alerts.
Sizes: 2, 4, 6 kg
Pre-engineered clean agent system for electrical cabinets, server racks and wind turbine alternator zones, where the UL listed detection tube both senses the fire and delivers the agent at the source. Available in 2, 4 and 6 kg cylinders with HFC 236fa, FK-5-1-12 or HFC 227ea.
Ceasefire in-panel tube systems with HFC 227ea discharge right at the fire when the heat sensing tube bursts, in direct and indirect versions, LPCB tested for forced and natural air flow cabinets.
Direct tube based clean agent system with HFC 227ea for Class A, B, C and electrical fires in panels and enclosures. The tube bursts at 150 to 180 C and discharges agent right at the fire, leaving no residue.
Indirect clean agent system with HFC 227ea for electrical rooms, critical equipment and enclosures where water or other agents would cause damage. It covers Class A, B, C and electrically started fires, with discharge through a separate line to fixed nozzles.
For a first response at the door of the room, Ceasefire makes a stored pressure HFC 227ea clean agent extinguisher.
Sizes: 2 kg, 4 kg, 6 kg
Stored pressure clean agent extinguisher with HFC 227ea in 2, 4 and 6 kg, made to IS 15683, with a 1A, 21B rating on the 2 kg size. It is meant for offices and electronic equipment where powder would cause corrosion.
Size by the room: the agent quantity comes from the room volume, the lowest temperature expected and the design concentration for the risk. The room must also hold the gas for the time the maker sets, so gaps in walls, raised floors and ducts are sealed or fitted with dampers.
Choose the pressure: a 42 bar system pushes the agent through longer runs of smaller pipe, so the cylinders can sit further from the room.
Plan the safety around it: a gas release panel with a countdown and an abort switch, hooters and signs at the doors, and an AMC that checks agent weight and pressure at least every six months.
