FE-13 System

FE-13 is an alternative to Halon 1301 for protecting large rooms, flammable liquid storage, turbine enclosures, high ceiling structures and low temperature environments. Low temperature environments include: locomotives, mining equipment and unheated storage. FE-13 has the lowest toxicity of any other clean agent.

Benefits of using FE-13
• Safe for people
• Does not leave a residue
• Electrically nonconductive and non corrosive
• Environmentally preferred alternative to Halon

Due to its low toxicity, FE-13 can be used in areas that are normally occupied. This makes it useful in total flood applications such as a control room where people occupy the protected space during discharge of the system.

FE-13 was originally developed by DuPont as a chemical refrigerant. Its absorbs heat from a fire similar to the way in which a sponge absorbs liquid.

As with other clean agents, FE-13 can be used in any area with high valued electronics such as computer facilities, battery rooms and telecommunications facilities. It also has many industrial applications including unheated storage areas.
