NOVEC Systems & Inergen Systems
Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is a clean agent fire extinguishant which was developed as a halon replacement and hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) alternative. It belongs to a family of chemicals called halocarbons, a group which includes HFCs and fluoroketones. Novec 1230 fluid is a fluoroketone, while chemical clean agents like FM-200™ and ECARO-25® are HFCs (HFC-227ea, HFC-125). Novec 1230 fluid has a global warming potential (GWP) of less than one while these HFCs have a GWP of more than 3000. Novec 1230 fluid has the highest margin of safety for human occupancy among clean agents, including inert gas.
How does Novec 1230 fluid work?
Novec 1230 fluid extinguishes a fire before it starts by rapidly removing heat. In a typical total flooding system, the fluid is stored as a liquid in cylinders pressurized with nitrogen. Automatic detection sensors trigger release when the fire is at the incipient stage, extinguishing it in mere seconds.
Novec 1230 fluid evaporates 50 times faster than water.
Applications for NOVAC System are
1. DATA CENTRES,
2. SERVER ROOMS,
3 CONTROL ROOM,
4 ENGINE TEST ROOMS,
5 HYDRAULIC MACHINE ROOMS,
6. UPS, BATTERY ROOMS & so on.
Inergen systems
Inergen fire suppression is a blend of naturally occurring gases; Nitrogen, Argon, & a small amount of carbon dioxide. The Inergen is made up of all these gas with a blend mix consisting of Argon 50%, Nitrogen 42% and CO2 8%
INERGEN is a highly effective fire suppression system for extinguishing fire & preventing re-ignition with no risk to people or damage to equipment if engineered and installed by a qualified fire suppression systems installation company.
The INERGEN fire suppression also has no adverse affect on the ozone layer as it is completely made up of naturally occurring gases.
INERGEN fire suppression systems also have a zero global warming potential, & no atmospheric lifetime.
An INERGEN system is certified as a safe and clean fire suppression system for occupied spaces
Medically evaluated by leading authorities around the world, the blend of INERT gases maintains normal blood-oxygen levels, thereby ensuring heart rate & mental performance remain optimal to ensure a safe escape during or after a fire suppression system discharge.
Unlike many other suppression systems which need to be located close to the protected area, INERGEN can be stored up to further away, & as it is organic in structure it is not subject to time use limiting restrictions.
INERGEN fire suppression is stored & discharged as a gas, when the fire suppression system discharges the INERGEN gas, it is clear, insuring a safe & visually un-obscured exit.
