The Novec 1230 clean agent system is meticulously tailored to rapidly suppress fires and safeguard sensitive equipment while prioritizing the safety of individuals and the environment. At its core is the revolutionary Novec 1230 fire protection fluid—a clear, colorless, and odorless clean agent. Stored in cylinders in its fluid state, Novec 1230 instantaneously transforms into vapor upon discharge. In conjunction with an advanced control panel, the Novec system extinguishes fires proactively by detecting them at imperceptible levels. After the threat has subsided, Novec 1230 quickly evaporates without causing harm to valuable assets. Suppression systems utilizing Novec 1230 stand as the epitome of effective fire protection available in the market today. These systems excel in scenarios requiring an electrically non-conductive medium, where the emergency shutdown of electronic systems is unfeasible, where cleanup challenges arise with other agents, and in spaces occupied by individuals necessitating a non-toxic fire suppression solution.
Safety for Individuals:
Novec 1230 operates at concentrations of only 4 to 6% by volume, well below the 10% concentration maximum deemed safe for exposure. This attributes to Novec 1230 the broadest safety margin among chemical clean agents. It adheres to the NFPA 2001 standards, ensuring its safety in areas occupied by people.
Environmental Responsibility:
With an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of zero, a global warming potential (GWP) of one, and a remarkably short atmospheric lifetime of five days (in contrast to the next closest agent’s 33 years), Novec 1230 stands out as the cleanest and most environmentally-friendly chemical agent in existence.
