Clean Agent Systems (FK-5-1-12)
Residue-Free Fire Suppression for Electrical and Enclosed Environments
Clean agent fire suppression systems using FK-5-1-12 are designed for environments where electrical integrity, equipment protection and clean discharge are critical.
Engineered for enclosed spaces and sensitive installations, these systems suppress fire rapidly without leaving residue or causing secondary damage to components.
What Is a Clean Agent System?
Gas-Based Suppression for Sensitive Equipment
Clean agent systems discharge FK-5-1-12, a non-conductive extinguishing agent that absorbs heat and interrupts combustion without leaving particulate residue.
The agent is suitable for applications where traditional powder-based systems would cause contamination or equipment damage.
Clean agent suppression is particularly effective in enclosed compartments where rapid agent concentration can be achieved.
Agent Characteristics
Clean, Electrically Safe Suppression
FK-5-1-12 is a clean extinguishing agent specifically suited for environments where electrical integrity and equipment protection are critical.
The agent functions by absorbing heat and interrupting the combustion process without leaving solid residue or causing secondary contamination.
FK-5-1-12:
- Is electrically non-conductive
- Evaporates without residue
- Does not damage sensitive electronics
- Is suitable for occupied technical areas when properly designed
- Has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and very low global warming potential (GWP)
Because clean agent systems rely on achieving the correct extinguishing concentration within a defined enclosure, agent quantity and nozzle configuration are determined during application-specific engineering assessment.
System design considers enclosure volume, ventilation characteristics and leakage factors to ensure effective suppression performance.
Key Benefits
Designed for Electrical and Clean Environments
Non-Conductive Agent
Safe for energized electrical equipment and control systems.
Fast Flame Suppression
Rapid heat absorption interrupts combustion in early fire stages.
No Residue After Discharge
Leaves no powder contamination, minimizing cleanup and downtime.
Ideal for Sensitive Equipment
Suitable for cabinets, CNC machinery, server racks and technical rooms.
Compact System Integration
Cylinder and discharge layout suitable for confined installations.
System Configuration
Direct and Indirect Suppression Architecture
Protega clean agent systems can be configured using different detection and discharge principles.
In a direct configuration, the pressurized detection tube ruptures at elevated temperature.
The cylinder activates mechanically and the agent discharges directly at the heat source.
This configuration allows:
- Fully autonomous operation
- No external power required
- Immediate discharge at ignition point
- Compact installation
In an indirect configuration, the detection element activates the cylinder valve.
The clean agent is then distributed through strategically positioned nozzles to ensure uniform concentration within the enclosure.
This configuration allows:
- Controlled agent distribution
- Optimized nozzle placement
- Suitability for larger cabinet volumes
- Flexible OEM integration
Protega systems can be expanded with additional safety and monitoring features to support integration into vehicle or machine control systems.
Available options include:
- Manual activation button
- Visual and audible alarm modules
- Pressure monitoring switches
- CNC extraction shut-off valve integration
- Signal output for machine interlock or system notification
- Remote monitoring connection
In enclosed environments, integration with ventilation or extraction shut-off systems can be critical to maintain extinguishing concentration after discharge.
System configuration and integration level are defined during the application engineering phase.

When to Choose Clean Agent (FK-5-1-12)
Suitable for Electrical and Clean Environments
Clean agent suppression is particularly appropriate when:
- Electrical equipment must remain operational
- Residue cannot be tolerated
- Enclosed spaces allow controlled concentration
- Sensitive machinery requires contamination-free protection
Agent selection should always be based on application-specific fire risk assessment.
