The Viking VSH200 Fire Extinguishing System uses HFC-227ea agent, which is a zero ozone depleting replacement for Halon 1301 for use as a gaseous fire suppression agent. It generally finds use in Data Processing, Clean Rooms, Museums, and Telecommunication Facilities, protecting expensive equipment or contents. HFC-227ea agent is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic fire suppression agent, which has zero ozone depletion, low global warming, and a short atmospheric lifetime. Extinguishment is by a combination of chemical and physical mechanisms, causing an interruption in the fire chemistry.
