Gielle FE-13™ is a specialist
suppression agent with characteristics not unlike those of Halon
1301. Browse our Web Library for more information on this
interesting agent - it may be the one you have been looking for.
Gielle FE-13™ is the extinguishing agent for specialist
applications ranging from offshore oil platforms and industrial
storage areas to locomotives and anechoic chambers.
Gielle FE-13™ is Trifluoroethane - a high-pressure clean
agent which contains no Bromine or Chlorine, hence its ODP of
zero. Fires are quickly and efficiently suppressed with Gielle
FE-13™ by the process of physiochemical thermal transfer,
the presence of the Gielle FE-13™ molecule at the flame
front absorbing heat from a fire as a sponge absorbs liquid.
Gielle FE-13™ is safe
to personnel - no exposure restrictions have been set for
its use in occupied areas up to the NOAEL of 30%. Gielle
FE-13™ is kind to the environment - it does not
deplete stratospheric ozone.
Since the phase-out of Halon 1301, a gap has existed in
certain applications for which Halon was ideally suited.
These applications involved areas greater in height than
three metres, those where high concentrations were required
in occupied areas and those where agent cylinder storage
areas could be subject to extremely low temperatures - the
"High, High, Low aspect of Gielle FE-13™
satisfies the requirements for these specialist applications;
High nozzle
height applications
The high pressure nature of
Gielle FE-13™ gives it an advantage in UL approval
height testing. Gielle FE-13™ nozzles have been tested
to a height of 7.6 metres, which is greater than any
currently listed clean agent system and close to the maximum
for Halon 1301 of 9 metres.
High concentration inerting applications: With a NOAEL of
30%, Gielle FE-13™ will allow for high concentration
application without human exposure restrictions. The most
common of these is inerting applications where, depending on
the fuel to be inerted, Gielle FE-13™ maybe the only
answer without human exposure limitations.
Low temperature applications: Gielle FE-13™ is
suitable for use at a minimum storage temperature of -40
degrees C whilst other agents have limitations in the region
of zero degrees C. Halon 1301 offered -4O degrees C storage
and Gielle FE-13™ is the only clean agent capable of
providing this low temperature feature.
Gielle offers a complete range of services to support FE-13™
clean agent systems including system design, installation,
maintenance and 24 hour service
