Rotarex Firetec is proud to announce that its RX5112 total flooding system is now officially UL-listed. This certification requires rigorous testing and verification, demonstrating the reliability and excellence of the RX5112 system. This highlights Rotarex Firetec’s commitment to quality, sustainability and safety, ensuring the solution meets the highest industry standards and earns the trust of customers worldwide.
A complete system with proven performance, ideal to protect sensitive environments
The RX5112 fire-suppression system, which is also VdS certified, utilizes FK-5-1-12 agent to extinguish Class A, B, and C fires in single zone environments such as data centres, server rooms, museums and archives, telecommunication facilities and other human occupied spaces. This complete halocarbon system with proven performance includes the renowned and trusted Rotarex premium valve technology, which has exceptional nozzle coverage and therefore offers rapid fire-suppression discharging within seconds in a homogeneous way.
The space-efficient RX5112 system is easy to install and maintain, ideal to protect high-value assets in hard-to-reach areas. It has a simple design configuration as smaller or fewer cylinders are needed for installations due to its high filling ratio, which can be up to 1.2kg/l. Furthermore, gaseous systems often require fewer modifications due to existing infrastructure compared to traditional water-based systems.
This system provides a selection of cylinders ranging from 30l to 180l, with available working pressure of 25, 34.5 and 50bar, depending on the approval. Another advantage of the RX5112 solution is its cost-effectiveness, significantly reducing piping and maintenance expenses. There are also different valve actuators: electromagnetic, manual or pneumatic to fit the needs of the different applications.
Environmentally friendly, cost effective and yet highly efficient extinguishing agent
The FK-5-1-12 extinguishing agent is particularly suited for safeguarding sensitive electronic equipment and irreplaceable valuables from fire and the potential damage caused by fire sprinkler systems. It is safe to be used in human-occupied areas under certain conditions, i.e. the NOAEL (no-observed-adverse-effect level) of 10% concentration.
This agent is electrically non-conductive, non-corrosive and leaves no residue after discharge. The system is completely safe for humans and equipment. Beyond its safety for sensitive environments, FK-5-1-12 is environmentally friendly, with no ozone-depleting potential (ODP) and the lowest global warming potential (GWP) of any halocarbon fire suppressant.
‘In the Middle East region, UL and FM approvals are widely recognized as highly esteemed certifications. Complementary to our existing VdS certification, obtaining the UL listing and the forthcoming FM approval for the RX5112 is a testament to its exceptional safety, reliability and sustainability. We take great pride in our team’s commitment and effort in achieving this notable accomplishment. Their dedication is limitless, and we anticipate even more groundbreaking solutions,’ stated Ismail Abou Zaher, Senior Sales Manager at Rotarex Firetec Middle East.
