What Is F-500 EA® and How Is It Used in Fixed Systems?
An application-focused overview of F-500 EA® in fixed systems, emphasizing proportioning, nozzle/system design and tested application limits.

F-500 EA® in Fixed Systems
F-500 EA® is an Encapsulator Agent introduced into the water stream through proportioning equipment. In a fixed-system application, the agent storage, proportioner, water supply, pump, piping, nozzles and control system are designed as one integrated system.
System Architecture
- Water supply
- F-500 EA® concentrate storage
- Proportioning equipment
- Pump and piping
- Application-specific nozzles or monitors
- Detection, alarm and control system
Lithium-Ion and Special Hazards
For lithium-ion battery applications, key protection objectives can include heat control and limitation of propagation to adjacent cells or modules. The suitability of the fixed system should be evaluated against manufacturer test and design data representing the actual hazard configuration.
