INERT GAS FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
NAFFCOInert® fire suppression system is an engineered system using with fixed nozzle agent and pipe network. NAFFCOInert®
systems are designed in accordance with latest edition of NFPA 2001,Standard on "clean agent systems”. This system shall be
designed for Class A, Class B & Class C application, it extinguish fire by reducing residual oxygen concentration to a level will
no longer support combustion.
The system can actuate by detection and control equipment for automatic operation along with providing local manual operation
when needed. Accessories are used to provide alarms, ventilation control, door closures or other auxiliary shutdown or functions.
Two or more hazard areas can be protected with a single group of agent cylinders by means of directional or selector valve.
NAFFCOInert® fire suppression system offers IG01, IG100, IG55 and IG541 gases. It is available as 200 Bar and 300 Bar system
which provides optimum design options to the protected hazard.
BASIC USES:
NAFFCOInert® fire suppression system is particularly useful for suppressing fires in hazard areas where an electrically non-
conductive medium is essential or desirable. Where the clean environment and the hazard obstructions require the use of a
gaseous agent. It is an ideal replacement agent for Halon 1301 alternative.

BLEED VALVE
The bleed valve is a part of the pilot line. The device must be mounted at the end of each pilot line at the last pneumatic
release device. This device is a security part, which protects the system from unwanted tripping when a cylinder has a leak
and the pressure would increase in the pilot line. It allows a bleeding till the pressure in the pilot line is under 0.7 Bar. The
bleed valve prevents an accidental system release.

design to particular requirement with computer aided calculation
to assure the effectiveness of extinguishing agent and reliable
system design.
The nozzle is used to discharge the agent from the cylinder through
piping network to the enclosed hazard volume. The nozzle selection
depends on the hazard and location to be protected. The nozzle
has to be mounted at the ceiling level with the orifice tip pointed
vertically down. The nozzle outlet must point downwards to distribute
the extinguishing agent effectively and to prevent pollution. The
discharge pattern of the nozzle shall be 360°.

SELECTOR VALVE
(MULTI-ZONE DISTRIBUTION)
Selector Valve allow a single agent supply to be utilized for protection of multiple zones by using the same number of cylinders.
It is necessary to use the selector valve to utilize the multiple cylinders to protect the multiple zones. Selector Valves direct
the extinguishing agent to the appropriate flooding zone and reduces the total amount of agent and number of cylinders required.
The Selector Valve body is available in carbon steel. Selector valve is a ball valve that control the flow of Inert gas through the
piping network until the valve is activated either by manually or electrically. The actuation pressure for the selector valve is
8-10 bar pressure. Each Selector Valve is equipped with the monitoring device which shows the valve Position (Open or
Closed) that provides a visual indication of the valve status.

SELECTOR VALVE WITH PILOT - CYLINDER ASSEMBLY
(MULTI-ZONE DISTRIBUTION)
Pilot cylinder assembly for selector valve actuation consists of Manual / Pneumatic release device which allows manual or
pneumatic actuation of the selector valve for the individual zones for system operation. Manual actuation is accomplished by
pulling the hand lever on the manual/pneumatic release device is secured with a safety pin. By removing the safety pin, the
hand lever can be manually pressed down to actuate the valve so that the nitrogen is released from the cartridge. Electric
magnetic device is used to actuate the system electrically. It is mounted top of the pilot cylinder valve and is operated by
an electrical signal of constant DC voltage of 24V electric solenoid from the fire detection system. Both of these actuation
methods result in the opening of a nitrogen pilot cylinder that pneumatically opens the Selector Valve. Each Selector Valve
is equipped with the monitoring device which shows the valve Position (Open or Closed) that provides a visual indication of
the valve status. Pop Off Valve is used to reset the Selector Valve after the system discharge.
