The suspended-type heptafluoropropane fire suppression system is a simple, convenient, and highly efficient firefighting device. Although it’s compact in size, easy to maintain, and boasts high fire-suppression effectiveness—earning widespread acclaim in the market—it remains, after all, a gaseous fire-extinguishing system, so there are still a few precautions you should keep in mind. Let’s now discuss what aspects you should pay attention to when using the suspended-type heptafluoropropane fire suppression system.

  The suspended-type heptafluoropropane fire suppression system is a simple, convenient, and highly efficient firefighting device. Although it’s compact in size, easy to maintain, and delivers excellent fire-fighting performance, earning widespread acclaim in the market, it remains, after all, a gaseous fire suppression system—so there are still a few important considerations to keep in mind. Let’s now discuss what precautions should be taken when using the suspended-type heptafluoropropane fire suppression system.

  I. Important Notes Before Transporting Suspended Type Heptafluoropropane Fire Extinguishing Systems:

  1. To replace the diaphragm and safety disc, the manufacturer must provide the original material type, shape, dimensions, and thickness of the diaphragm. Only tested, finished products are permitted for installation in the valve. Unauthorized use of untested diaphragms as replacements is strictly prohibited.

  2. Unauthorized personnel should never tamper with the components of the fire suppression system to avoid accidents.

  3. According to the national standard GB50370-2005, "Code for Design of Gas Fire Extinguishing Systems," the installation and operation of heptafluoropropane fire suppression systems shall be carried out by personnel who have undergone professional training.

  4. Before transporting, installing, and opening the equipment, do not remove the safety cap from the container valve outlet that is not yet connected to the connecting pipe.

  5. Storage bottles should be kept away from heat sources. During transportation, please handle them carefully to avoid collisions and overturning.

  

 

  II. The installation locations for the heptafluoropropane fire suppression systems shall meet the following requirements:

  1. Ambient temperature: 0°C to 50°C; keep dry and well-ventilated; ensure relative sealing during fire suppression.

  2. The air must not contain explosive, conductive dusts or harmful substances that could corrode components;

  3. The gas cylinder room should be located in a space that is easily accessible, convenient for entry and exit, and less prone to fire hazards.

  4. The frame of the bottle assembly must be secured with anchor bolts.

  III. Notes on Installation and Commissioning of Heptafluoropropane Fire Extinguishing Systems

  1. Always pay close attention during disassembly and assembly to avoid scratching the surface, which could compromise the appearance.

  2. Personnel installing and commissioning the heptafluoropropane fire suppression system should be familiar with the device's basic structure, operating principles, performance characteristics, and operational procedures.

  3. It is strictly prohibited to connect the activation valve to the activation pipeline during the installation of the fire suppression system and before delivery.

  4. Before the fire suppression system is activated, all personnel must evacuate the site; after firefighting, ventilation must be carried out first, and staff may only enter the site once the exhaust gases have been fully expelled.
