DESCRIPTION
Water-based fire suppression systems (sprinklers) are designed to protect people and structures. But when it comes to protecting high value machinery, computers and other electronic equipment, water can be more damaging than the fire itself. An ECARO-25® clean agent fire suppression system is the superior, cost-effective choice for protecting electronics and high-value assets – reducing the threat of needless downtime and business interruption.

RELIABILITY AND EFFICIENCY OF A RUPTURE DISC WITH THE FLEXIBILITY OF ELECTRIC ACTUATION
Known for quality, dependable fire protection systems, Fike continues to look for ways to improve the effectiveness of all its safety products. The Impulse Valve Technology greatly improves the performance of clean agent fire suppression systems over mechanical valve systems by combining the reliability and efficiency of a rupture disc with the flexibility of electric actuation.
ECARO-25 CLEAN AGENT
Fike’s ECARO-25 clean agent fire protection system requires 20% less clean agent per cubic foot/meter than HFC-227 ea or FM-200® fire suppression systems and an incredible 38% less clean agent than FK-5-1-12 – that’s a significant cost savings.
ECARO-25 PIPE NETWORK DESIGN
In addition, the superior physical properties of Dupont™ FE-25™, the clean agent used in the ECARO-25 system, allow you to utilize small diameter piping over long distances, making the clean agent pipe network design much easier and less expensive. And ECARO-25 is 15% more efficient in hold time than a HFC-227 ea or FM-200 fire suppression systems, and 25% more efficient than a FK-5-1-12 system.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
CFCs, Halons and other chemicals are destroying the vital ozone layer that protects us. Our Clean Agent Fire Protection Systems feature the non-ozone depleting clean agent HFC-227ea, trademarked by DuPont as FM-200, providing our customers with the fire protection they need and still protecting the earth’s precious ozone layer. Our Clean Agent Fire Protection Systems are USGBC LEED® recognized.
