Novec 1230 fire extinguishing system

Novec 1230 is an environmentally sustainable agent that interrupts a fire by absorbing the heat. This disruption quickly breaks the chemical chain reaction that a fire needs to thrive. Unlike other fire suppression systems that displace oxygen or drown fires in water, Novec 1230 fluid evaporates quickly and it will not leave any residue.

Main Advantages

1. Clean Agent: Novec 1230 is a synthetic fire suppression agent that is electrically non-conductive and leaves no residue after discharge. This makes it suitable for protecting sensitive electronic equipment and valuable assets.
2. Effective Fire Suppression: Novec 1230 is highly effective at extinguishing various types of fires, including Class A (ordinary combustibles like wood, paper), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (electrical fires). It works by rapidly absorbing heat and reducing the oxygen concentration to suppress the fire.
3. Environmental Friendliness: Novec 1230 is designed to have minimal impact on the environment. It has an extremely low global warming potential (GWP) and an atmospheric lifetime of only a few days, making it an environmentally friendly choice compared to some other fire suppression agents.
4. Fast Discharge Time: Novec 1230 systems can activate quickly, releasing the agent into the protected area within 10 seconds. This rapid response helps to suppress the fire in its early stages, minimizing damage and reducing downtime.
5. Safe for Occupants: Novec 1230 is designed to be safe for occupied spaces. It is non-toxic, does not deplete oxygen levels, and has a wide margin of safety for human exposure, allowing occupants to evacuate safely during a fire event.
6. Design Flexibility: Novec 1230 systems can be designed to accommodate various installation requirements, including total flooding systems and local application systems. Total flooding systems distribute the agent uniformly throughout the protected space, while local application systems target specific areas or equipment.
