Recently, many customers contacted us in various ways, saying that the heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing equipment in use has been in use for a certain period of time and they hope to replace them, but they are worried that the replacement cost is too high, and the replacement process will be more troublesome.
Note 1: Do not disassemble the fire extinguishing equipment without the guidance of technical personnel
Some users are very worried when they see that gas fire extinguishing equipment has been used for a long time and there are problems such as insufficient pressure. On the one hand, if there is a fire, these fire extinguishing equipment will not be able to function; on the other hand, they are worried that the equipment will have more failures and false sprays. Therefore, in order to reduce these possible potential dangers, some users will dismantle the fire extinguishing equipment without the guidance of fire fighting technicians and wait for further processing. As a manufacturer, we do not recommend this to our customers. Because in the process of dismantling, unprofessional personnel may damage parts that could be recycled, or trigger gas to be sprayed in an inappropriate space, thereby causing unnecessary injury. So even if you are in a hurry to replace, you must first contact a professional manufacturer, and then disassemble the system under the guidance of a technician.
Note 2: Accept the differences between the old and new systems
Out of trust in the old system, some users insist on requiring the new system to be 100% consistent with the old system when they need to replace the gas fire extinguishing equipment. This is actually relatively unrealistic. Because with the improvement and update of relevant national regulations, gas fire protection products will also have a process of updating. Taking gas cylinders as an example, the thickness of gas cylinders before the implementation of 3C is not uniform, so some bottles will be thin and some will be thick. After the implementation of 3C, certified manufacturers will update their equipment strictly in accordance with relevant specifications. It is impossible to be 100% consistent with the old equipment. Therefore, when deciding to replace the equipment, the user must communicate more with professional manufacturers and develop a replacement plan that is in line with the actual situation.
Note 3: When replacing equipment, the agent cannot be recycled and reused
The heptafluoropropane medicament under the stable pressure condition of the cylinder does not theoretically have an expiration date. Therefore, some customers will think that when the equipment is replaced, the heptafluoropropane medicament in the original equipment can be filled into the new equipment. In fact, this This idea is not correct. According to the "Periodic Inspection and Evaluation of Steel Seamless Gas Cylinders" GB T 13004 specification "Gas Treatment in Cylinders" stipulates: "After confirming the gas in the cylinder, according to the different nature of the gas, ensure safety, sanitation and environmental pollution conditions Next, use a method that is compatible with the gas in the bottle to discharge the gas in the bottle and dispose of it properly.” This means that the gas in the bottle must be discharged regardless of whether it is replaced or filled.
The matters needing attention when replacing the heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing equipment are here. If there are more professional supplements, everyone is welcome to criticize and correct the editor. Then, the cost issue that everyone is most concerned about comes. How to replace the heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing equipment is more cost-effective?
First of all, it is recommended that you directly find a professional manufacturer to inquire instead of looking for an intermediary or a third-party company to reduce the cost of intermediate links. Secondly, I suggest you find a serious and responsible manufacturer. As soon as some manufacturers hear that they need to be replaced, no matter what the situation is, they directly offer a complete set of system quotations to customers. The more serious and responsible manufacturers will first evaluate the customer's original system, try to keep the parts that can be used normally, and make an affordable and safe replacement plan for the customer.
