Heptafluoropropane is gaseous at room temperature, colorless, odorless, non-conductive, non-corrosive, no environmental restrictions, and the atmospheric retention period is short. The fire extinguishing mechanism is mainly to interrupt the combustion chain and extinguish the fire extremely fast, which is favorable for the salvage protection of precision electronic equipment and valuables. The concentration of non-toxic reaction (NOAEL) of Heptafluoropropane is 9%, and the concentration of toxic reaction (LOAEL) is 10.5%. The design concentration of Heptafluoropropane is generally less than 10%, which is safe for human body. It is characterized by good cleanliness (complete vaporization in the atmosphere leaving no residue), good gas-phase electrical insulation and good physical properties suitable for use in fire extinguishing systems. Since Heptafluoropropane does not contain chlorine or bromine, it will not destroy the ozone layer, so it is adopted to replace the environmentally hazardous Halon 1301 and Halon 1211 as the raw material for fire extinguishing agents.In the early 1990s, industrialized countries preferred to use Heptafluoropropane to replace Halon fire extinguishing systems and achieved success.
Introduction of Heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing device
Heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing device is divided into two kinds: pipeline network and pipeline network (cabinet type).
The pipeline network system is divided into internal pressure storage system and external pressure storage system, the main difference is the transmission distance of the extinguishing agent is different. The transmission distance of the internal pressure storage system is generally not more than 60 meters, the transmission distance of the external pressure storage system can reach 220 meters
