Fume Hood Cabinet Fire Suppression System – FAQ by Fire Engineering Technology

---

1. What is a Fume Hood Cabinet Fire Suppression System?

A fume hood cabinet fire suppression system is an automatic fire detection and extinguishing system designed to protect laboratory fume hoods, chemical storage cabinets, and exhaust ducts from fire. It uses clean agents or wet chemical agents to suppress fires at the source before they can spread.

---

2. Why is a fire suppression system important for laboratory fume hoods?

Fume hoods and lab cabinets handle flammable vapors, volatile chemicals, and electrical devices. A small ignition can quickly escalate into a fire. Installing an automatic fume hood fire suppression system ensures personnel safety, protection of experiments, and prevention of laboratory damage.

---

3. How does a fume hood fire suppression system work?

The system uses a heat-sensitive polymer detection tube or fire sensor installed inside the hood or duct area. When a fire occurs, the tube bursts or sensor activates, releasing the clean agent (FM-200 / Novec 1230) or wet chemical agent directly onto the fire. This process is instant, automatic, and requires no electrical power.

---

4. What type of extinguishing agents are used?

Fire Engineering Technology offers multiple extinguishing options depending on the risk type:

• Clean Agent Systems (FM-200, Novec 1230) for electrical and solvent-based fires.

• Wet Chemical Systems for grease or organic chemical fires.
  Both are residue-free, non-conductive, and safe for sensitive laboratory equipment.

---

5. What areas can the system protect?

Our fume hood cabinet fire suppression systems protect:

• Laboratory fume hoods & ducting systems

• Chemical storage cabinets and reagent shelves

• Bio-safety cabinets and laminar flow hoods

• Industrial and R&D testing enclosures

• Pharmaceutical cleanrooms and process labs

---

6. Is the system automatic or manual?

The system is fully automatic. It detects a fire and activates immediately, even during unmanned operations. Manual release options are also available for added safety and operator control.

---

7. What standards does the system comply with?

Fire Engineering Technology designs all systems in accordance with NFPA 17A, NFPA 2001, and ISO 14520 standards for clean agent and wet chemical suppression.

---

8. What are the advantages of a fume hood fire suppression system?

• Instant detection and suppression of lab fires

• Protects personnel and laboratory assets

• Eco-friendly, residue-free agents

• Compact and easy to retrofit

• Low maintenance with long operational life

• Safe for electrical and chemical hazards

---

9. Does the system require regular maintenance?

Yes. For optimal performance, a bi-annual inspection is recommended to check agent pressure, tubing, and nozzle condition. Preventive maintenance ensures the system remains ready at all times.
