Novec 1230 Fluid - Fluorinated Ketone Gas Fire Suppression System | Zero Ozone Depletion, High Safety Margin, Rapid Extinguishing Capability

Novec 1230 fluid is a fluorinated ketone that is stored as a liquid and discharged as a gas. It distributes uniformly throughout the hazard zone, and suppresses fire by a combination of heat absorption and chemical interference with the flame. Environment With a zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), a global warming potential (GWP) of just one, and an atmospheric lifetime (ALT) of only 5 days, NOVEC 1230 fluid has virtually no measurable impact on climate change. When used in a fire event, the fluid mitigates the effect of an uncontrolled fire. At the end of the lifetime of the system, the fluid can be readily recovered and recycled. Clean Novec 1230 fluid discharges as a colourless, electrically non-conductive, and non-corrosive gas that does not damage sensitive equipments. There is no post-discharge residue, no costly clean-up operations are required, and down-time is kept to a minimum. Effective Small and large-scale tests have proven that NOVEC 1230 fluid puts fires out quickly, before they can do any serious damage. It does this by reaching extinguishing concentrations in ten seconds or less. It is effective on a wide range of Class A, B and electrical fires. Safety The US EPA Significant New Alternatives Program (SNAP) classifies Novec 1230 fluid as acceptable for use as a total flooding agent in occupied spaces. A low design concentration of 4 to 6% in combination with a high No Observable Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) of 10% means it provides a safety margin of up to 100%. This is by far the largest safety margin of any clean agent currently available. In addition, there is no risk of human asphyxiation with Novec 1230 fluid since it does not act by oxygen depletion in the hazard zone.
