Halocarbon fire suppression systems
How Halocarbon gas fire suppression system work– Fast & Clean Fire Protection
Halocarbon gas fire suppression systems use clean agents like FK-5-1-12, which extinguish fires by absorbing heat and reducing oxygen levels. This allows for rapid fire suppression without compromising breathable air. Fire suppression systems using FK-5-1-12 extinguishing agent provide a reliable, fast, and clean fire protection solution for sensitive environments. In the event of a fire, this halocarbon system will automatically discharge the agent, which will quickly and effectively extinguish the fire before it spreads.
FK-5-1-12 fire suppression agent offers a unique combination of safety, negligible environmental impact and excellent extinguishing performance, making it an ideal solution for your critical equipment.
Rotarex Firetec offers several fire protection systems using FK-5-1-12 extinguishing agent. The total flooding system (RX5112 System) for closed rooms such as server rooms, and the local application system, which, in addition to offering systems using FK-5-1-12, also offers the HFC-227 agent (FireDETEC System) to protect specific equipment or areas such as CNC machines or electrical cabinets.

Why Choose RX5112 total flooding system? Reliable & Residue-Free Fire Protection for Critical Assets
Rotarex Firetec makes it easy for system engineers and installers to select a complete UL, FM, and VdS-approved total flooding fire suppression system using FK-5-1-12 extinguishing agent. RX5112 System by Rotarex Firetec is a fully certified clean agent fire suppression system that helps save time and improve productivity. Thanks to its high-performance design, FK-5-1-12 extinguishing agent requires fewer cylinders compared to other systems, reducing the footprint needed for cylinder storage. This makes it an ideal solution for protecting high-value assets in areas that are difficult to access or where space is limited, such as server rooms, control centers, and data centers.
The RX5112 System is the ideal fire protection solution for data centers and archives, ensuring fire suppression without damaging equipment or sensitive documents. Indeed, the FK-5-1-12 clean agent is non-conductive and non-corrosive. After a system discharge, it is no longer necessary to clean before resuming operations. This guarantees minimal downtime and maximum security for critical assets.

Halocarbon fire protection - FAQ
What is FK-5-1-12 fire suppression agent?
Halocarbon gas fire suppression systems use FK-5-1-12 agents which reduce the oxygen level by absorbing heat. In the event of a fire, the clean agent system automatically discharges the agent, quickly and effectively extinguishing the fire before it spreads.
Is halocarbon extinguishing agent safe for human occupancy?
Yes, FK-5-1-12 has a NOAEL (No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level) of 10%, so it remains safe for humans at typical concentrations. RX5112 systems operate at low pressure, reducing any risk of sudden impact or noise hazard during discharge.
How fast does a halocarbon fire suppression system work?
The halocarbon RX5112 system extinguishes a fire in just a few seconds, making it one of the fastest fire extinguishing solutions available. The clean agent system will automatically discharge the agent, which will quickly and effectively extinguish the fire before it spreads.
What are the environmental effects of FK-5-1-12?
FK-5-1-12 has a Global Warming Potential of less than 1, a fast natural degradation (max. 5 days of atmospheric lifetime) and zero Ozone Depletion Potential, making it an environmentally friendly fire extinguishing solution.
