How to save time, money and install gas extinguishing equipment without pipe wiring

1. What space do you protect by ZARYA units? 

units ZARYA-22 and ZARYA-22 with solenoid valve are designed to protect approx. 1,413 feet3 depending on the clean agent type. ZARYA-10 and ZARYA-10 with solenoid valve protect approx 636 feet3, while ZARYA-3 and ZARYA-3 with solenoid valve protect approx. 177 feet 3.

2. Which modules do you advise for raised floors and false ceilings fireproofing? 
The best solution for such areas involves ZARYA-22 with solenoid valve, ZARYA-10 with solenoid valve, or ZARYA-3 with solenoid valve units.
3. What are the units’ dimensions and weights?

Structural weights are 9.7(10.8*), 16.98(18.08*), and 24.25(25.35*) lb. respectively. 

Overall dimensions of ZARYA units with solenoid valve are the following: 

  • ZARYA-3 with solenoid valve item: height 13.78 in., diameter 8.27 in.
  • ZARYA-10 with solenoid valve item: height 15.55 in., diameter 12.20 in.

Package dimensions are the following: length 13.01 in., width 20.28 in., height 27.56 in.

4. Which clean agents do you use in the units? Is it possible to fill the modules with carbon dioxide? 

According to the equipment specification, we fill the units with clean agents of three types:  (Pentafluoroethane, C2F5H), HFC-227ea (Heptafluor-propane (C3F7H), and FK-5-1-12 (Perfluoro (ethyl - isopropyl ketone) CF3CF2C(0)CF(CF3). 

5. What is the difference between HFC-125, HFC-227ea, and FK-5-1-12?

Fire suppression agents vary by the filling capacity, max level of fire suppression concentration, and the price. HFC-227ea has a higher filling ratio and lower fire suppression concentration. Additionally, it is recommended for spaces with people’s presence. The same applies to the FK-5-1-12 agent; it’s filling ratio and safety factor for humans are higher than the corresponding figures for HFC-227ea.  is the best choice for technological spaces such as server rooms, archives, diesel generator rooms.

7. Is it possible to use several units in one room?

Sure. If one unit is not enough to protect the given space, several units may be used to protect each sector equally. It means that the units can be filled either completely or partially. The most important thing is to have enough fire suppression clean agent in all the units to protect the given room. One more important issue is not to place the units at the escape routes. 

8. What modes are available for unit actuation?

The standard unit has 3 start modes: self-contained (when heated over 154oF), automatic (through a signal from the electrical system), and manual (by the button pressing). If required, the units might be equipped just with the solenoid valve and high-pressure hose entry.

9. What items are included in a necessary kit for 1 unit installation?
  • Here are two examples of what you will need: 
  1. Honeywell company offers the following options: 
  2. Esser system with an extinguishing control panel 8010. It is to be connected to the loop through Esserbus interface.
  3. NOTIFIER system is built up with the following units: Interface unit XP6-МА for 6 non-addressed wires, Monitor unit XP10М for 10 input channels, Control unit XP6-С to supervise 6 relais. The above is a full set to control an automatic fire suppression system that is connected to the loop through NOTIFIER Net interface. 
  4. fire indicator with a magnetic contact — 1 pc. 
  5. audible alert unit — 1 pc.
  • GST company offers to extinguish control panel GST303 (3 control units) and extinguishing control panel GST306 (6 control units). They can be integrated with fire alarm control panel GST200N. GST301 is an autonomous device to control gaseous fire extinguishing.
10. Where do you recommend to use ZARYA units?

We recommend using ZARYA units at spaces where you place expensive equipment, valuables, electrical appliances, and powder- or water-sensitive objects. Units filled with HFC-227ea and FK-5-1-12 are allowed to use in spaces with the permanent presence of people.  

11. Is ventilation necessary in the rooms where we place the units? 

According to NFPA 2011 regulations, ventilation is necessary to get rid of the residue timely after the fire. It is allowed to use mobile ventilation units.

12. Is it possible to apply the units in the spaces where people work? 

Yes, but only with HFC-227ea and FK-5-1-12 clean agents filling.

13. How and where can we install the units? 

You have 2 options where to install ZARYA units: walls and ceilings. The brackets of both types are always supplied in every unit’s kit. Our experts from the Engineering Department constantly develop new options for installing the units in various spaces requiring fireproofing. 

14. Is it possible to get an example of the ZARYA system project? 
We have developed a model project with ZARYA units for your designers. Please feel free to contact us by phone at (530) 723-6224 for a FREE project template.
15. What maintenance is required for the units? 

The maintenance tasks include the pressure gage check, the automatic appliances check, cleaning, and the unit’s annual weighting. Please navigate to the Support page for details. 

16. Is it necessary to have a reserve of the clean agent when using the units? 

Where required, a reserve agent supply shall consist of as many multiples of the primary agent supply as the authority having jurisdiction considers necessary according to NFPA 2001. Please inform your location for an estimate. 

17. What transport do you use to handle the units? How do you deliver them to my location?  

We use carriers’ services to deliver the equipment. Air transportation is prohibited, so we apply auto or railroad transportation.  

18. What calculations are essential for a project design? 

The calculations are done in accordance with NFPA 2001 depending on the size of the premises to be protected. Please feel free to contact our office at (530) 723-6224 for details.

 

19. What is meant by a lifetime warranty for clean agent fire suppression units? 
Lifetime warranty ensures that our company provides free maintenance of the units through the declared lifetime which makes 10 years from the date of manufacture.
