    Product description
    “ECS HFC-227ea”
    is a fixed gas fire extinguishing system composed of gas cylinders with associated cylinder valves, flexible hoses,
    manifold, section valves, alarms, time delay units, piping and discharge nozzles.

    The extinguishing concentration and the nozzles are covered by this type approval certificate. Other components
    submitted for this type approval are reviewed but shall be submitted and approved for each project.

    The system is to be designed in accordance with the “Principal Requirements” in IMO MSC/Circ.848 as amended by
    IMO MSC.1/Circ.1267.

    The extinguishing agent HFC-227ea is produced by Chemours, Wilmington, DE, USA.

    Physical properties of extinguishing agent


    Trade name HFC-227ea
    Molecular formula CF3CHFCF3
    Agent specific vapour volume (S) 1) 0.1373 m3/kg
    Design concentration (C) 8.7%
    Min. agent required (W/V) 2) 0.6940 kg/m3
    NOAEL 3) 9.0%
    LOAEL 3) 10.5%
    1) To be applied in conjunction with IMO MSC/Circ.848, 3.4.2.3.1
    2) When calculated at 20°C. Ambient temperature to be determined case by case for each project
    3) NFPA 2001 (2008 Edition)

    Application/Limitation
    Approved for use as "total flooding" fire extinguishing system in machinery spaces and cargo pump rooms. The design
    gas concentration (diesel) shall be minimum 8.7% (applied on a net volume) and the maximum agent discharge time
    shall be 10 seconds for 95% of the extinguishing concentration. The extinguishing system shall be designed and
    installed according to SOLAS Ch. II-2, IMO MSC/Circ.848 as amended by IMO MSC.1/Circ.1267 and maker’s manual.

    The following additional limitations will apply:


    A. ECS HFC-227ea systems are not suitable for the ship’s cargo holds. If ECS HFC-227ea systems are installed
    inside cargo pump rooms, all components shall be certified for use in hazardous areas, the design gas
    concentration shall be increased, and the system is subjected to case by case approval.
    B. If HFC-227ea is used above its NOAEL (calculated on net volume at max expected ambient temperature), means
    should be provided to limit exposure (IMO MSC.1/Circ.1267, 6). In no case should HFC-227ea be used in
    concentrations above its LOAEL.
    C. Steel storage cylinders of size 10 lb (4.5 kg) to 900 lb (408 kg). Cylinders being 81 L or larger is only accepted
    when arrangements are provided on board to ensure that cylinders can be easily moved (even to shore) for service
    and recharging. All cylinders shall be of the same size.
    D. Cylinders are topped up with nitrogen to 25 bars at 21 °C. The fill density shall be maximum 1.12 kg/L.
    E. Cylinders are to be delivered with product certificate or equivalent certificates acceptable to the flag administration
    and class.
    F. Cylinders to be located in a separate room in accordance with SOLAS Ch. II-2 Reg. 10.4.3 or distributed throughout
    the protected space in accordance with the requirements in IMO MSC/Circ.848 item 11 as amended by IMO
    MSC.1/Circ.1267. When distributed within the protected space, the min extinguishing concentration (after any single
    failure) shall be 6.7%.
    G. Components in the system shall be of pressure class II with a maximum design pressure of 35 bar (at 54 °C).
    Consideration will though be made for piping and couplings inside the protected space.
    H. The nozzles are to be located in accordance with the Kidde manual. A basic rule is that one nozzle can as a
    maximum cover an area of 5 m x 10 m. A 360° nozzle shall be located centrally in this area, the 180° nozzles on the
    sides (as applicable). The maximum cover height is 5 m. The average nozzles pressure is 6.3 bar.
    I. Bilges (except open bilges in small volume engine rooms) are to be protected with a dedicated nozzle network.

    The following documentation is to be submitted to the flag administration in each separate case:
    a. Plans showing location of cylinders, piping, nozzles and release stations as well as the assembled system.
    b. Capacity calculations, including hydraulic flow calculations.
    c. Plans defining release lines and alarm system.
    d. Material specification and dimensions for piping and specifications for all other components.
    e. Ship specific release procedures and post discharge ventilation procedures.
    f. Manual containing design, inspection, operation and maintenance procedures.

    g. Control arrangements for closure of openings and stop of fans and any pressure relief devices as per IMO
    MSC/Circ.848, 13. These plans can also be supplied by yard.

    Testing at installations and periodical surveys


    - The system shall be tested as per maker’s manual, flag administration and class requirements.
    - The system is subject to biennial (every 2nd year) inspection by an approved service supplier. The attending
    surveyor will also apply requirement relevant for flag administration and/or class on newbuilding and ship in
    operation surveys.
