Fireboy- Xintex, LTD CG2, HFC-227ea, MA2 FE-241 specification

Marine Installation Instructions

Before Installation

1.Check the system for damage during shipment.

2.Check the pressure gauge to be sure the gauge pointer lies within the green zone at 70°F (21°C). The correct weight is shown on the nameplate for the appropriate model.

3.Select an interior location not directly subject to weather or seawater.

4.Confirm the volume of the compartment to be protected in cubic feet or cubic meters by multiplying the width in feet, by the length in feet, by the depth at the keel in feet; make no deductions for installed equipment.

5.Verify calculated volume with volume shown on name plate label and chart on opposite page.

Selecting a Location

1.Do not install a Fireboy system rated for less cubic volume than the volume of the compartment to be protected.

2.Orientation:

•Mounting up to 90° from vertical is permissible

•Install on the forward or aft vertical bulkhead of the engine compartment as near the centerline of the vessel (keel) as possible.

•Install as high as possible

•Direct the actuator towards the opposite bulkhead or towards the engine(s)

•Avoid installing athwart ship (perpendicular to the keel) on sailboats

Mounting Fireboy system

1.Locate the lower bracket 1 ½” above the bottom of the cylinder and the upper bracket ½” above the Fireboy nameplate. If required the 3rd bracket needs to be centered between the upper and lower backets.

2.Use appropriate size and length stainless steel bolts and lock washers and bolt to bulk head or overhead.

HFC-227ea, MA2 FE-241, CG2 specifications

Fireboy Xintex, LTD HFC-227ea, CG2, MA2 FE-241 is an advanced fire suppression agent that stands out in its effectiveness and versatility. This halocarbon compound, also known as heptafluoropropane, has become a preferred choice for fire protection systems worldwide due to its unique chemistry and performance characteristics.

One of the main features of HFC-227ea is its ability to suppress flames without leaving behind damaging residues. This property makes it particularly suitable for use in sensitive environments like data centers, server rooms, and heritage sites where traditional water-based extinguishing systems could cause significant collateral damage. HFC-227ea operates effectively through a combination of cooling and chemical interruption of the combustion process.

The technology behind HFC-227ea is primarily rooted in its physical and chemical properties. It is a clean agent, meaning it does not conduct electricity, and it has a low boiling point, allowing it to vaporize quickly and fill a room efficiently. Its rapid vaporization facilitates swift deployment during a fire event, ensuring prompt control and suppression of flames. Moreover, this agent is recognized for its minimal impact on the environment, with a low ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential that is considerably lower than that of many other halon alternatives.

In terms of characteristics, the HFC-227ea system is designed to operate alongside various detection and control technologies. Fireboy Xintex utilizes advanced fire detection systems that can identify smoke and heat sources rapidly, enabling quick activation of the suppression system. This integration enhances overall fire safety and responsiveness.

Additionally, the system's modular design allows for easy scalability and customization according to the specific needs of different environments. Whether in maritime applications, industrial plants, or commercial infrastructures, the flexibility and adaptability of HFC-227ea make it a prominent choice in the fire suppression landscape.

In conclusion, Fireboy Xintex, LTD HFC-227ea, CG2, MA2 FE-241 represents a cutting-edge solution in the field of fire protection. With its clean, efficient, and environmentally conscious characteristics, it not only meets the demands of modern fire safety but does so in a way that protects valuable assets and minimizes risk.
