Reliable FM200 Cylinder Assembly / High Strength Container for Fire Suppression

Product Overview

The FM200 Steel Cylinder is a high-pressure storage vessel specifically engineered for HFC-227ea (FM200) clean agent fire suppression systems. Designed for use in pipe network fire extinguishing systems, this refillable steel cylinder securely stores the extinguishing agent under pressure, ready for rapid discharge when a fire event is detected.

Manufactured from high-strength steel with a durable red epoxy coating for corrosion resistance, the cylinder is equipped with a container valve, siphon tube, pressure gauge, and safety relief device. It supports a working pressure of up to 5.6MPa and is available in capacities ranging from 40L to 245L to accommodate various system design requirements.

Purpose: It is used for storing heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing agent and has functions such as sealing, releasing, filling, overpressure discharge, and pressure display. 
Structure: Composed of a container valve, a siphon tube, and a storage container. The storage container is a reusable, red epoxy-coated, steel-welded container. The container valve consists of a valve body, a starting device, a piston, a pressure display component, a pressure relief device, etc. After connecting the siphon tube, it is installed on the bottle opening of the storage container and can be opened pneumatically or manually to release the fire extinguishing agent.

Key Features

Clean Agent Compatibility

The FM200 steel cylinder is designed to store HFC-227ea, a clean gaseous agent that is colourless, odourless, non-conductive, and leaves no residue after discharge. This makes it ideal for protecting sensitive electronic equipment, data centers, and valuable assets.

High Pressure Integrity

Engineered with robust steel construction and precision welding, each cylinder undergoes rigorous pressure testing to ensure leak-proof performance and long-term reliability. Working pressure options of 4.2MPa and 5.6MPa are available to suit different system requirements.

Safety Features

Each cylinder is equipped with a pressure gauge for visual monitoring and a safety burst disc device that activates in case of overpressure, providing critical protection against failure.

Refillable and Reusable

The cylinder is designed for multiple refill cycles. After system discharge, the cylinder can be recharged with FM200 agent and pressurising nitrogen, restoring it to full service condition

Temperature Range Compatibility

The cylinder maintains stable performance across a wide operating temperature range of -10°C to +50°C, ensuring reliable fire protection in various environmental conditions.

Applications

The FM200 steel cylinder is a critical component in pipe network and combined distribution fire suppression systems, suitable for protecting a wide range of assets and facilities, including:

The system is effective against Class A, B, and C fires (solid surface fires, liquid fires, and electrical fires).

System Integration

The FM200 steel cylinder is part of a comprehensive fire suppression system that includes:

• Cylinder frame and mounting brackets

• Container valves with manual and pneumatic actuation

• Liquid and gas check valves

• Manifolds, pipe networks, and nozzles

• Pilot gas cylinders and control panels

• Fire detectors and alarm devices

The system supports three activation modes: Automatic, Electrical Manual, and Mechanical Emergency Manual.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the typical discharge time for FM200 from the cylinder?
A: The agent discharge time is ≤10 seconds, ensuring rapid fire suppression at the early stage of a fire.

Q: Can the cylinder be used with both 4.2MPa and 5.6MPa systems?
A: Yes, we offer cylinders designed for both pressure classes. Each cylinder is clearly rated for its specific operating pressure. Always match the cylinder to the system design requirements.

Q: How is the cylinder packaged for international shipping?
A: Cylinders are securely packed in plywood outer boxes with protective foam inserts and bubble wrap to ensure safe delivery.

Q: Can you provide custom cylinder capacities or configurations?
A: Yes, OEM orders are welcome. Please contact our sales team with your specific design requirements.

Q: How do I check the cylinder's pressure status?
A: Each cylinder is equipped with a pressure gauge. The pointer should remain within the green zone at the storage temperature. Periodic visual inspection is recommended.
