A gas usually utilized in state-of-the-art fire suppression systems that achieves these goals is heptafluoropropane, or HFC-227. This gasoline can also be recognized by its trademarked title of HFC-227.

HFC-227 extinguishes by eradicating warmth from the fire. The gas is saved in pressurized cylinders and is delivered by a community of pipes and nozzles all through the information middle.

If discharged, HFC-227 may be dispersed by opening doorways and ventilating the information middle for a couple of minutes. This signifies that the information middle can proceed to function, notably if the fire was minor or if the suppression system was activated as a precaution.

HFC-227 is a hydrofluorocarbon and doesn’t harm the surroundings by depleting ozone. It was developed to interchange gasses that deplete ozone, similar to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). In the concentrations wanted to extinguish fires, HFC-227 is just not dangerous to people. In reality, it’s used as a propellant in metered-dose inhalants, similar to those used to deal with bronchial asthma.

HFC-227 in a Data Center

We makes use of an HFC-227 fire suppression system in its information middle. In addition to the protection advantages described above, the system takes up little area and the gasoline cylinders are conveniently (and safely) housed throughout the information middle. This technique is crucial to offering complete tools and information safety and highlights the system when present or potential shoppers tour the information middle.
