NOVEC 1230 Fire Suppression Systems at Waterfront Integrated Resort Project.
What is NOVEC 1230 … ? NOVEC 1230 is one of the leading clean agents used for fire suppression. Clean agent fire suppression systems can put out fires safely without damaging electronic equipment or machinery.
How does NOVEC 1230 work..? NOVEC 1230 extinguishes fires by removing heat. All fires need heat, oxygen, and a fuel source to continue to burn. By removing any of these three elements, we can extinguish the fire. Other fire suppression agents, such as carbon dioxide, remove oxygen. Because NOVEC 1230 removes heat instead of oxygen, it is safer to use in occupied spaces, because it does not pose a suffocation risk for people.
NOVEC 1230 advantages … NOVEC 1230 is safe for people, so a fire suppression system with NOVEC 1230 can be installed in an occupiable space. After a NOVEC 1230 fire suppression system puts out a fire, NOVEC 1230 evaporates immediately. You do not need to clean it up. NOVEC 1230 leaves no residue and is safe for equipment, including sensitive electronics and machinery.
Which gas is used in the NOVEC 1230 system? NOVEC 1230 is the brand name for the chemical compound FK-5-1-12, manufactured by 3M. Fire suppression systems marketed as NOVEC 1230 systems contain FK-5-1-12, which is stored as a liquid and discharges as a gas when the system activates.
Is NOVEC 1230 dangerous..? Relative to most fire suppression chemicals, NOVEC 1230 is not dangerous. Unlike carbon dioxide, NOVEC 1230 is considered safe to use in occupied spaces. That means if NOVEC 1230 is released inside of a room with people in it, there is no suffocation risk or other serious health impacts.
