How difficult can FirePro be?
The Montreal Protocol was signed in August 1987. This classed Halon as an ozone depleting, fire suppression agent. Manufacturers brought a variety of alternative agents to market, each with their own green credential claims, however the engineering design, installation, commissioning or maintenance principles never changed. Put crudely, a quantity of cylinders containing a quantity of the chosen suppression agent, commensurate to the risk volume, stored under pressure, which when signalled, delivers the agent into the risk, via a piping network, for which to be effective, a defined concentration level of the agent must remain at a constant, for a minimum defined time, (usually 10 minutes). FirePro operates and complies with defined ISO & BS/EN Standards for fire suppression, and we asked an engineer to share his real experience of commissioning his first FirePro installations, Click through for more.
