TRANSCRIPT

  • We have a passion to protect what matters most.

    PresenterPresentation NotesKey Points: Introduce who Tyco is.

    Commitment for producing products and services in safe responsible mannerPromoting this commitment to all employees and contractors

  • 2

    • Special Hazards • Tyco Fire Protection Services • Fire Protection System Distributors • OEM’s (select products)

    Products and Market Channels

    • Mechanical • Mechanical Supply Distributors

    • Water • Pipe Valve & Fitting Distributors • Fire Sprinkler Contractors

    • Detection • Tyco Fire Protection Services • Tyco Fire Protection Products Distributors

    PresenterPresentation NotesUse this slide to explain our different product segments and how we go to market through qualified, select, trained distributors or “systems integrators” as well as select OEM’s.

    Emphasize that in the Special Hazards segment, our distributors are more than just “off the shelf” providers, but are heavily engaged in hazard analysis, systems design, and service after the sale of our systems, (more on this later in the presentation). Explain the difference between TFPS distribution and independent distributors without devaluing either.

    • Usually Not Compliance-Driven • Focused on Asset/Process Protection • Custom Engineered for the Application • Business Protection is Primary Aim • Insurance or Loss Prevention can Influence Choices • Knowledgeable Service Providers Needed

    Common Elements of Engineered Systems

    PresenterPresentation NotesKey Points

    Engineered Systems frequently are not mandated, but can serve as supplemental systems to those required by codes or as primary fire protection for special processes. The decision to use an engineered system is often made by the end-user or his representative after a significant business risk is identified. Engineered Systems are commonly provided for asset and/or process protection, not for structural building protection. They don’t compete with sprinklers.Each system is custom engineered for its special hazard application. An important part of this process is choosing the right type of system. This is where Tyco provides more value than the “one trick pony” who may try to force-fit the wrong solution.Biz Protection – These systems operate as business continuity insurance. Insurance savings and internal loss prevention & EHS policies can be driving influences in the buying decision. An engineered fire suppression system can be viewed as method of transferring risk of loss by investing in a safeguard.These systems require knowledgeable system integrators who can consult with business owners throughout the design process, providing the best possible solution . This is why we have a limited network of trained distributors mentioned earlier. Our distributors are trained in hazard analysis, system selection, design and installation, and, importantly, ongoing service. While these systems are frequently not mandated as mentioned before, all require adherence to installation and service standards (NFPA, FM, ISO, etc.). For these system to continue to deliver their anticipated risk transference value, they must be properly maintained.

  • Clean Agents

    PresenterPresentation NotesWe are now going to narrow down the discussion further, and transition into defining clean agents and where and how they are used.

  • 7

    • Total Flood Gaseous Agent • Enclosure required

    • Safe for Occupied Areas • Environmentally Acceptable • Electrically Non-Conductive • Leaves No Residue

    Defining Clean Agents

    Reference: NFPA 2001 – Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems

    PresenterPresentation NotesKey Points:

    Clean agents are defined in Chapter 3 of NFPA 2001. They are commonly used in a total flooding application to protect electronics, archives, processes, or other hazards that exhibit sensitivity to other types of agents.

    Clean agents are used in a total flood application requiring an enclosure (pic.1) (Emphasize the importance of enclosure integrity and agent retention)They are safe for normally occupied areas (Dispel the “halon myth” that these agents are deadly. Don’t confuse with CO2, which is not a clean agent for this reason)They must have EPA environmental acceptance (the only reason we don’t use halon anymore)They must be electrically non-conductive and leave no residue (Watermist and Aerosols don’t meet this requirement which is why the are not clean agents)They are typically used on low heat release smoky fires, but can also be used on larger, flammable liquids fires (pic.2)

    Suppression Method

    Heat Absorption

    Suppression Method Oxygen Reduction

    One Common Goal Fire Suppression

    PresenterPresentation NotesNFPA segments clean agents into two major categories: Halocarbon, also called chemical agents, and Inert gas agents.Refer briefly to and differentiate method of extinguishment and refer back to the Fire Tetrahedron.

    Important take away here is that the two type of clean agents are distinctly different with regard to their physical and engineering characteristics, but both produce the same result and must meet the same standard of fire suppression. The choice between the two comes down to hazard-specific issues.

    Explain that halocarbons are chemical produced by companies like 3M, DuPont, Waysmos, etc and are then used in listed delivery systems manufactured by companies like Tyco. The chemical companies really control the pricing and future of the agents.

    Inert gases do not rely on chemical manufacturers.

  • • Detection & Control • Agent • Agent Storage

    • Tanks & brackets • Agent delivery system

    • Discharge hose, piping & nozzles

    • Actuation system • Valve actuator • Actuation connection

    components • Accessories

    • Recharge adaptors & warning plates

    Clean Agent System Components

    10

    PresenterPresentation NotesKey Points:

    While the different clean agent types may suppress the fires in different manners, they share many common system components.Systems are relatively simple from a hardware perspective, but components must be carefully combined as part of an engineered package.In each case, the agent quantity and cylinder size are engineered for the hazard, and the entire contents will discharge at once. Main and reserve systems can be designed to provide back up.The detection component is integral to the effectiveness of the system, and it’s configuration is dependant on the type of hazard and independent of the type of agents used.The design software is specific to each agent type and manufacturer.The enclosure itself needs to be considered a component of the system, even though it is not “purchased” from the system provider.

  • Detection and Control

    11

    PresenterPresentation NotesKey Points:

    The type of detection used should be matched to the hazard requirements, fuel type, fire signature, required response time, etc.

    The alarm and release sequencing can be modified within limits to meet the needs of the facility with respect to cross zoning, delay timers, abort switch functionality, etc.

    The type of agent being released is usually irrelevant once the control logic has determined that a discharge is required.

    Releasing panels need to be listed for that use and listed as compatible with the clean agent equipment (actuator)

    PresenterPresentation NotesFinal Drill Down:

    Transition to begin talking about our two clean agent solutions of choice INERGEN and SAPPHIREMention that we are highlighting these two agents as typical of their categories, as well as that we have chosen them to be the leading choices in their respective classes.

    Ansul INERGEN

    • Developed by ANSUL in 1992

    • Environmentally sustainable alternative to Halon.

    • Technology invented by Dr. Christian Lambertson, inventor of SCUBA

    • UL listed and FM, USCG approved

    PresenterPresentation Notes

    Introduced as environmentally sustainable alternative to Halon from technology invented by Dr. Christian Lambertson derived from diving and NASA research.Only agent to have undergone extensive human testing - Most clean agents undergo animal testing that is extrapolated to determine possible human effects.Other listings include VDS, ISO, LPCB, CCCF

    Christian James Lambertsen (May 15, 1917 – February 11, 2011) was an American environmental medicine and diving medicine specialist who was principally responsible for developing the United States Navy frogmen's rebreathers in the early 1940s for underwater warfare. Lambertsen designed a series of rebreathers in 1940 (patent filing date: 16 Dec 1940) and in 1944 (patent issue date: 2 May 1944)[1] and first called his invention breathing apparatus. Later, after the war, he called it Laru (portmanteau for Lambertsen Amphibious Respiratory Unit) and finally, in 1952, he changed his invention's name again to SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus).[2] The US Navy considers Lambertsen to be "the father of the Frogmen".[3][4]

  • ANSUL INERGEN

    PresenterPresentation NotesKey Point:

    Discuss the INERGEN Composition and the fact is composed of existing atmospheric gases.Theses gases are readily available and do not rely upon a chemical manufacturer for supply.The mixture of gases results in an atmosphere in the hazard that very closely resembles the weight of ambient air, resulting in less leakage from an enclosure.

    The Role of INERGEN Agent

    PresenterPresentation NotesKey Point:

    How INERGEN suppresses the fire by oxygen reductionMaintaining an atmosphere that is still safe for occupantsNote again that all cylinders discharge completely. Note that the “gas” shown here is for clarification only, and that in realty, there is no obscuration during an Inergen discharge due the lack of agent phase change.

    PresenterPresentation NotesKey Points:

    To show the normal atmosphere existing and then the CO2/O2 levels in an INERGEN atmosphere

    Per NFPA 2001, 95% of the design concentration shown must be achieved within 60 seconds (120 now).

    The oxygen level must not rise above 15% during a 10 minute “retention time” in order to prevent re-ignition of the fire. This will allow trained personnel to respond to the incident. Repeat the ability of Inergen to stay in leaky enclosures

    Oxygen depletion may be a more effective method of extinguishing fires in “hot” environments, (such as a class C application in a data center), because it does not rely on heat absorption.

    NFPA 2001 limits exposure to 5 minutes for oxygen levels Above 12%, 3 minutes between 12 and 10%, and 30 seconds between 10 and 8%

    PresenterPresentation NotesKey Points:

    The blue shows Inergen design concentrations 34.2%, 40.7%, and 38.5% respectively. The red shows the NOAEL level or maximum allowable level for occupied areas – 53%. The results in a large factor of safety above our design concentrations.

    Since toxicity is not an issue for inert gases, NFPA limits exposure based upon the design concentrations and resulting O2 levels. (Refer back to human testing done with Inergen.)

    NFPA 2001 limits exposure to 5 min for O2 levels above 12%, 3 min between 12% and 10%, and 30 seconds between 10% and 8%.

    Inergen® uses carbon dioxide to promote breathing characteristics intended to sustain life in the oxygen deficient environment for the protection of personnel.

    References:

    From NFPA 2001 3.3.22: No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL). The highest concentration at which no adverse toxicological or physiological effect has been observed.

    • Atmospheric Gas Composition Allows:

    • Long Pipe Runs • Increased retention time in enclosures

    with poor integrity • Zero environmental impact

    • Protect multiple hazards with one system

    • Fewer cylinders • Less cost

    • No by-product due to high temperature exposure

    • Agent will not decompose

    • Breathable Mixture • No toxicity

    • Very Low Agent Cost • Discharge Testing

    INERGEN Properties

    PresenterPresentation NotesUse this slide to detail the benefits of Inergen and to explain why you would choose it for a particular hazard;

    Atmospheric Gas Composition Allows:Long Pipe Runs – If you need to locate cylinders a long way from the hazard or the hazard is very large. Gas has better flow characteristics than liquidIncreased retention time in enclosures with poor integrity – The Inergen atmosphere weighs about the same as air. It doesn’t want to leave the room.Zero environmental impact – Same gases you are breathing right now. Protect multiple hazards with one systemFewer cylinders – Cover many hazards from one bank of cylinders sized for the largest hazard.Less cost – Most other clean agents will require dedicated supplies in each hazard.No by-product due to high temperature exposureAgent will not decompose – Halocarbons decompose upon contacting high heat sources (500F-900F) and form HF acid.Breathable MixtureNo toxicity – NOAEL levels based on hypoxia, not toxicity.Very Low Agent Cost – As much as 10x less than halocarbons.Discharge testing – Best method of proving the ENTIRE system functions as designed. Fan test only proves room integrity (theoretically)

    Walk them through each benefit of INERGEN and the challengesBe sure that they recognize the benefits of INERGEN far outweigh its challengesExpanded notes for each bullet:

    BenefitsEnvironmentally Benign – Atmospheric gases. Zero ODP Zero GWP. More on this later in the presentation.Cost of Agent – Very low agent cost. Evergreen warranty.Egress Safety – No obscuration due to lack of vapor cloud. No condensation of water vapor that would be caused by a cold discharge.Life Safety – wide safety factor and human testing. More on this laterNo thermal shock – ADD SOME DATA HERE REGARDING TEMP CHANGE IN THE ENCLOSUREIncreased Retention Time – Resultant weight of mixed atmosphere is close to that of ambient air.Selector Valves – Allows for protection of multiple hazards from one cylinder bank. Potential large $$ savingsPipe Distances – Gas flow characteristics allow for very long piping distances. 300-500 ft possible.

    ChallengesFootprint – Higher cylinder count requirement due to high pressure DOT/TC cylinders and gas vs. liquid volume. Can be remote located, however. Number of Cylinders – Results from above…Higher Installation Cost – More hardware results in higher steel costs and more labor. Can be more than offset after a discharge.Pressure Relief Critical – This is a consideration for all clean agents, but inert gases displace far more air than halocarbons.
