For high-pressure clean agent fire suppression, the Thera® TX1230 High Pressure Halocarbon Total Flooding Gas Suppression System delivers advanced protection. Most standard halocarbon systems operate at a conventional 25 bar pressure, but the Thera® TX1230 elevates performance with higher pressure capabilities of 42 bar, 50 bar, and 70 bar options at 21°C.

High-Pressure Capabilities and Cylinder Specifications

The system utilizes FK-5-1-12 clean agent, which is super-pressurised with dry nitrogen at 21°C. To accommodate the increased operating pressures, Thera® offers robust cylinder options:

• 42 Bar Option: Available in TPED-welded or seamless cylinder configurations.

• 50 Bar & 70 Bar Options: Built exclusively using high-strength seamless cylinders.

Higher operating pressure allows the agent to travel further through longer piping networks, optimizing agent distribution while significantly reducing storage requirements. The elevated pressure translates into a smaller equipment footprint, requiring fewer cylinders and minimizing dedicated storage space.

Multi-Zone Discharge via Selector Valves

A key feature of the Thera® TX1230 HP system is its multi-zone discharge capability. A single bank of cylinders can protect multiple distinct zones (such as a Data Hall, Control Room, or Archive) through integrated selector valves. When fire is detected in a specific area, the selector valves direct the gaseous agent exclusively to the affected zone. This multi-zone architecture eliminates the need for separate dedicated cylinder banks for each room, offering significant cost savings, using fewer cylinders, and saving valuable floor space.

Approvals and Applications

The Thera® TX1230 system is engineered for high-stakes, mission-critical environments. Key compliance and environmental highlights include:

• UL Listed & FM Approved certifications.

• Suitable for Class A, B, and C fire risks.

• Complies with NFPA 2001 standards.

It is ideally suited to protect critical facilities such as Data Centres, Offshore & Marine facilities, and Power Generation sites.
