What is the ADS / PHX Series? • FM-200 Stored under its own vapor pressure 44 psig Kidde FM-200
What is the ADS / PHX Series? • Separate nitrogen storage N2 1800 psig
N2 What is the ADS / PHX Series? • Continuous Supply of Nitrogen Acts as a Gas Piston - “Piston Flow”
N2 360 psig Why do we need the ADS / PHX Series? • FM-200 superpressurized with nitrogen Dissolved Nitrogen FM-200

Why do we need the ADS / PHX Series? • Longer Pipe Runs • More Efficient Use of Cylinder Fills • Difficult Pipe Networks • Greater Flexibility • Smaller Diameter Pipe
ADS / PHX Nozzles • Two nozzle types • 180° Nozzle • 360° Nozzle • Nozzle sizes • 1/2” through 2”
ADS / PHX Nozzle Locations • Proximity of nozzles to significant obstructions • At least 3 ft. to 4 ft. of clearance between nozzle and wall (or significant obstruction) • Proximity of multiple nozzles • At least 6 ft. of clearance between nozzles
ADS / PHX Nozzle Coverage • Tested 46 ft. x 56 ft. Rectangle • Actual coverage area defined as rectangle with diagonal, d • 180° - d = 60.5 ft. 360° - d = 36.2 ft.
ADS / PHX Nozzle Height • Maximum height for single nozzle is 16 ft. • Nozzle tiers are allowed • Minimum height • 1 ft. for UL Listed systems • 6” for Kidde Approved • Must reduce coverage area for height, 6” to 12” • 30 ft. x 30 ft. • 180° - d = 33.5 ft. • 360° - d = 21.2 ft.
ADS / PHX Piping Network: Tees • Any orientation is allowed • Horizontal and vertical outlets, as well as inlets • 1 inlet, 2 outlets
OUT OUT IN ADS / PHX Piping Network: Tees • Bull tee flow split • Minimum imbalance: 50/50 • Maximum imbalance: 85/15
RUN OUTLET (65 to 85) IN SIDE OUTLET (15 to 35) ADS / PHX Piping Network: Tees • Side tee flow split • Minimum imbalance: 65/35 • Maximum imbalance • Horizontal feed: 85/15 • Vertical feed: 84/16
ADS / PHX Piping Network: Pipe Sizes • Pipe sizes 1/2” through 6” are Listed/Approved • Largest nozzle size is 2”
ADS / PHX Piping Network: Nozzles • Minimum nozzle pressure: 72 psi
ADS / PHX Piping Network: Hydraulic Calculation • Enter: • Enclosure info • Agent quantity • Agent Source • Pipe network • Run main calculations • Verify system acceptance
