Dry Chemical

Engineered Fire Suppression System

The Janus Fire Systems® Engineered Dry Chemical Fire Suppression System utilizes ABC dry
chemical as the extinguishing medium. ABC or Multi-Purpose dry chemical is a specially fluidized
and siliconized mono-ammonium phosphate. It chemically insulates Class A fires by melting at
approximately 350°F and coating surfaces to which it is applied. It smothers and breaks the chain
reaction of Class B fire and will not conduct electricity. Each system consists of the following com-
ponents and their associated accessories:

1. Agent Storage Components - Storage components consist of the cylinder assembly(s), which
contains the ABC dry chemical and the cylinder bracket(s), which holds the cylinder assembly
securely in place.
2. Agent Distribution Components - Distribution components consist of the discharge nozzles
used to introduce the ABC dry chemical into a protected hazard along with the associated pip-
ing system used to connect the nozzles to the cylinder assembly.
3. Trim Components - Trim components complete the installation of the suppression system and
consist of connection fittings, pressure gauge, low-pressure supervisory switch, electric valve
actuator, and manual valve actuator.
4. Multi-Cylinder Arrangement Components - Multi-cylinder arrangement components consist
of the pneumatic valve actuator(s), actuation check valve, vent check, actuation hose, and fit-
tings required for a multiple cylinder arrangement.
5. Supplemental Components - Supplemental components include the discharge pressure
switch and manifold check valve. They supplement the core equipment or complete a specific
multi-cylinder configuration.
6. Control Panel - This device monitors the condition of the electric actuator, detectors, warning
devices, cylinder pressure, and any manual release and abort stations. All electric or electronic
devices must connect to the control panel in order to function.
7. Detection and Alarm Devices - Detection devices coupled with manual release and abort
stations maximize system efficiency while audible and visual alarm devices alert staff of alarm
conditions.

 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The ABC dry chemical is stored in cylinder assemblies designed specifically for the application. To
ensure optimal performance, each cylinder is superpressurized with dry nitrogen to 500 psi (34.48
bar) at 70°F (21°C). An identification label is affixed to the cylinder body indicating the fill quantity
of ABC dry chemical, charging pressure, date of fill, and fill station.

The cylinder assembly is composed of a cylinder, dip tube, cylinder valve, pressure vent port, agent
fill port, and (in the 1000 lb cylinder) a rupture disc. Cylinders are available in three capacities and
are filled in 50 pound (22.7 kg) increments in the fill ranges as indicated below.

 GENERAL PURPOSE AND INDUSTRIAL HAZARDS
Typically, general purpose and industrial hazards are protected by either total flooding an en-
closure with dry chemical or locally applying the dry chemical to the hazard directly. Depending
on the type of hazard being protected the following nozzles can be used in applications that
meet the classification for general purpose and industrial hazards:

a. Local Application – Overhead: This system is used for applying agent on a hazard
from above and uses the Local Application, Overhead (LAOH) Nozzle. Typical applications in-
clude dip tanks, power generators, and transformers. The maximum nozzle height for overhead
protection is 10 ft (3048 mm).

Local Application, Overhead

(LAOH) Nozzle
(P/N 16216)

b. Local Application – Tankside: This system is used for applying agent across a hazard
area from the side of the area and uses the Local Application, Tankside (TS) Nozzle. Typical
applications include, but are not limited to, dip tanks, quench tanks, and solvent tanks where
overhead obstructions are present.

(shown in feet)

c. Total Flooding: This system is used to fill a volume with agent to protect any hazard
within that volume. Typical applications include hazardous storage containers and warehouses.
Total flooding systems require a fixed enclosure to be present around the hazard area to allow
the system to build up the proper concentration of agent within the hazard area. It uses the JSH
Nozzles, Total Flood (TF) Nozzle, Total Flood Perimeter (TFP) Nozzle, Duct and Plenum (D/P)
Nozzle, Three-Way Nozzle, or Screening (SCR) Nozzle as appropriate for the hazard.

 VEHICLE PAINT SPRAY BOOTH HAZARDS
Vehicle paint spray booths are enclosures designed for the purpose of spraying combustible or
flammable paints (or other Class B materials) and conducting or directing the excess materials
into a forced ventilation exhaust system. Vapors, mists and residues produced from the spray-
ing operation are also conveyed through the exhaust system.

Vehicle paint spray booth hazards are protected with a combination of total flooding, screening,
duct and/or plenum nozzles. The physical structure of the enclosure and the arrangement of
the plenum and ductwork will normally determine what nozzles will perform best for the applica-

OPEN FRONT PAINT SPRAY BOOTH HAZARDS

Open front paint spray booths are enclosures with one side (or face) of the enclosure generally
open. As with vehicle paint spray booths the enclosures are designed for the purpose of spray-
ing combustible or flammable paints (or other Class B materials) and conducting or directing
the excess materials into a forced ventilation exhaust system. Vapors, mists and residues pro-
duced from the spraying operation are also conveyed through the exhaust system.

Open front paint spray booth hazards are protected with a combination of total flooding, screen-
ing, duct and/or plenum nozzles. The physical structure of the enclosure and the arrangement
of the plenum and ductwork will normally determine what nozzles will perform best for the ap-
plication. The following nozzles can be used for the protection of open front paint spray booths:

Total Flood (TF) Nozzle Three-Way Nozzle Screening (SCR) Nozzle

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF ABC DRY CHEMICAL AGENT

ABC or Multi-Purpose dry chemical is a specially fluidized and siliconized mono-ammonium phos-
phate. It chemically insulates Class A fires by melting at approximately 350°F and coating surfaces
to which it is applied. It smothers and breaks the chain reaction of Class B fire and will not conduct
electricity.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The discharge of dry chemical into a hazard may reduce visibility for a brief period.
The discharge of dry chemical systems to extinguish a fire can result in a potential hazard to per-
sonnel from the natural form of the powder or from the products of combustion that result from
exposure of the agent to the fire or hot surfaces. Unnecessary exposure of personnel either to the
natural agent or to the products of decomposition shall be avoided.
The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) on ABC Dry Chemical should be read and understood prior to working
with the agent.
A cylinder containing ABC Dry Chemical should be handled carefully. The anti-recoil safety de-
vice must be in place at all times when the cylinder is not connected to the discharge piping
and restrained.
